The pop singer, actor and TV personality is said to have been the victim of “fixated, obsessive, unwanted and repetitive behaviour” by a man who served 30 months for manslaughter in 2012. The restraining order meant that he could not contact Cheryl, enter the county of Buckinghamshire or attend her address.
In December, Bannister is alleged to have returned to Cheryl’s home, which she shares with her seven-year-old son, Bear, just weeks after Payne's funeral took place in November. Bannister, who has no fixed address, is accused of entering Buckinghamshire on 10 December then turning up at “an address where you knew or believed Cheryl Tweedy was present”, The Sun reports, citing court documents.
He also allegedly attempted to contact Cheryl, which he was prohibited from doing. Bannister pleaded guilty to the three offences in December and was sent back to prison, the publication says. He is due to be sentenced on 30 January. The Independent has contacted Cheryl’s representative for comment.
In 2012, Bannister pleaded guilty to manslaughter after attacking 48-year-old Rajendra Patel at a YMCA shelter in Croydon, south London. Following the attack, Patel returned to hospital on 9 March and died the following day. A post-mortem report gave the cause of death as a pulmonary thromboembolism due to deep vein thrombosis of the left femoral vein, in turn due to a recent fracture of his left ankle.
