Joey Essex hounded by Baby Reindeer-style stalker who’s sent him 100k messages and threatened to shoot girlfriend Jessy
REALITY telly star Joey Essex is being hounded by a Baby Reindeer-style stalker.
He has called in police after receiving 100,000 messages, including apparent death threats to Love Island girlfriend Jessy Potts.
Sinister online messages from the woman seem to threaten to “shoot the s**t” out of Jessy.
The twisted pest also brands Jessy a “fat slag” and a “bitch”.
Worried Joey and his team are due to speak to police today to launch a formal probe after he became increasingly concerned in recent weeks when the content of the messages grew more menacing.
Striking train drivers win bumper pay rise sparking fears of fresh demands from unions
THE 14 per cent pay deal for striking train drivers has sparked fears of fresh demands from other public sector unions.
Labour ministers agreed to the hike in a bid to end two years of crippling stoppages.
They began direct talks with the Aslef union last month.
Despite earning an average £65,000, the three-year deal would see drivers get a five per cent rise for 2022/23, 4.75 per cent this year and 4.5 per cent next year.
The offer, which is not conditional on any changes to working practices, will be put to Aslef members with guidance from chiefs to vote in favour.
Strikes have cost railway firms £850million in revenue — and the wider economy has lost £1billion.
