Sarah Bartholomew, 29, from Clacton-on-Sea, pleaded guilty at a hearing in April to harassing Walliams between last October and February this year.

She is to be sentenced at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court.

Her sentencing was delayed from June 20 to allow more time for psychiatric tests to be carried out.

Bartholomew's obsession with Walliams began in 2004.

She was seen hanging around the BBC, where he worked, and outside his home at all hours, and sent the comedian letters, many of them sexually explicit.

Late last year the star's solicitors wrote to her ordering her not to contact him.

In response she sent large numbers of emails to the lawyers and to Walliams's agent, Carl Hill.

The messages became more aggressive, and one said: "David knows what's coming to him."

Bartholomew also sent the TV star underwear, cuddly toys, chocolates and DVDs.
