The shaken 54-year-old singer, who was contacted several times by the unknown man, also has revealed she was frightened to sleep after the threats.

It has been reported that he phoned her home in Blackburn, West Lothian up to ten times in two days.

However, it is understood the police have so far received only one complaint relating to phone calls received on Saturday.

She said: “I’m really worried about getting these threatening calls - I haven’t slept much since they started.

“I have no idea who the person is or why they have chosen to call me.

“I am very vulnerable as I live on my own and they have made me very upset.

“I do not like getting these calls and something must be done to stop this guy.

“I really don’t know who he is or how he got my number. It is all a mystery and came very suddenly over the weekend.

“He doesn’t sound like a local person but he keeps calling my home.”
