Rachel Riley yesterday backed calls for a new register of stalkers after a friend was \u2018terrorised\u2019 by her estranged husband.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Countdown and\u00a0Strictly Come Dancing<\/a>\u00a0star wants a change in the law to require convicted stalkers to be registered with local police.<\/p>\n

The House of Lords will vote today on an amendment to the Domestic Abuse Bill which would create a register similar to that which tracks sex offenders.<\/p>\n

Miss Riley, 35, said she was moved to act after watching her friend suffer and had been shocked by the lack of support from the authorities.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

She said: \u2018This is personal for me. A wonderful and brave friend continues to seek safety for herself and her children in separating from her husband following years of in-home terrorism.<\/p>\n
