Mathew Horne's stalker
COMEDY king MATHEW HORNE has been living in fear after being targeted by a crazed STALKER.
He had to call in cops after being hounded by a female fan who had become obsessed with the Gavin and Stacey star.
Mat, 30, endured months of misery, but he admitted: "It's kind of dealt with now."
The woman had been stalking him and had even discovered his top-secret home address causing the police to step in.
The terror is bound to have left Mat shaken.
A source explained: "A female fan went way over the top and Mat took no chances by getting the police involved. It had started getting out of hand as she knew his every move. He didn't know what she was capable of."
The funnyman was caught up in a health scare after collapsing with exhaustion on stage in the West End last week.
My source added: "Mat often feels very exposed because diehard fans try to follow him when he leaves the theatre.
"But this one took it too far and there was a real concern that she had discovered his home address. That's when he knew he had to call in the big boys to deal with it.
"The police have spoken to her and she's very clear about the fact she'll be arrested if she harasses Mat again. It looks like it has worked as she hasn't contacted him recently."
Mat has really been feeling the rougher side of fame recently. He's had to put up with some unfair reviews for his film Lesbian Vampire Killers and TV sketch show with pal JAMES CORDEN.

Horne & Cordon is class. Really funny and good to watch, mind you all BBC Three is class. There both top lads and Mat doesnt derserve that.

mat has been through a well bad time lately bless him and i dont think he needs people being mean all of the time.
i personally think he is a great guy and i wrote a letter into the sun tv mag and it got publishedand he noticed it. then my auntie met him in H&M and he took the time to write a small letter of thanks to me for praising his show in the mag.
i am so dissapointed that Horne & Corden has finished it was the best comedy act i have ever seen and what i wouldnt give to be a part of that. Lesbian Vampire Killers is a really good film its so good and there was so many laughs i almost chocked on my popcorn lol x
mat is an awswome guy and should be allowed to live his life without weirdos following him about and scaring the hell out of him x
ly mat x

Their TV sketch show is OK, some bits aren't funny, but some bits are - they are being unfairly treated by the press and people in general, how many people can write a sketch show themselves and make it funny for everyone eh?

I liked Gavin & Stacey and though James and Mat were funny but I'm sick of them already, they have been over exposed. Their "comedy" sketch show is complete rubbish"

Their ITV3 show is the worst thing I've ever seen on TV, period. Idiot humour for total loosers

I agree with the above. Just because you want to try and ram Horne and Corden down our throats as the next big thing you say they received 'unfair reviews', they're rubbish.
