An alleged stalker has been banned from going within 500 metres of David Beckham’s Cotswold home.

The Manchester United legend bought the £6m country mansion at Great Tew near Stow-on-the-Wold with wife Victoria in 2016.

Together with the celebrity couple’s west London house and daughter Harper Beckham’s school, it’s one of the locations 58-year-old Sharon Bell is prohibited from going near.

Bell, of Boundary Way, Watford, is also banned from:

  • Contacting any member of the Beckham family - David, Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz or Harper. Contacting includes (but is not limited to) letter, telephone, email, text or messages on social media
  • Physically approaching, following or waiting for any member of the Beckham family 
  • Going within 500 meters from the Beckham's family home addresses in London and Oxfordshire or attending any place where the Beckham's are residing permenantly or temporarily without written permission from a detective in the Met Police 
  • Going within 500m of Harper Beckham's primary school 

It follows the making of an interim stalking protection order at Westminster Magistrates’ Court this month.

The Metropolitan Police applied for the order, telling the court that Bell had carried out ‘acts associated with stalking’ and that the order was ‘necessary to protect’ the Beckhams.

An interim order was made for five months. At a hearing on May 13, the court will decide whether a permanent stalking protection order is necessary.

Breaking any of the terms of the order could result in Bell being sent to prison.
