Overview
- Daniel Bannister, 51, was released in recent weeks after serving about three months of a 12-month sentence for stalking Cheryl and breaching a restraining order.
- He was caught violating rules at a bail hostel in London, with alcohol reportedly found in his room, prompting an immediate recall to prison.
- HM Prison and Probation Service said offenders are returned to custody when they break licence conditions.
- Bannister had visited Cheryl’s Buckinghamshire home on four occasions in 2024, behavior the court described as fixated and obsessive, and she said she feared he was trying to get inside.
- He previously served 30 months in 2012 for manslaughter, and a judge deemed him a high risk of reoffending and harm at his September sentencing.
