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 was due to be sentenced at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court in London but the hearing was adjourned until July 21 so another psychiatric report could be produced.

It was the second time sentencing has been delayed. A hearing on June 20 was adjourned 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."
