Sarah Lockett

Sarah Lockett (born 1965 in Surrey) is a TV news anchor and reporter.

Professional

Lockett started out recording 0898 information telephone lines, before working for Capital Radio, London.^[1] Lockett then became a TV news anchor and reporter, who has worked for Sky News, Channel Four News, BBC News 24, ITN. Her assignments for newspapers include having a naked rub-down in a mixed-sex Turkish steam room, while 5 months pregnant; and sitting on Roman toilets while eating gum marmalade for a travel feature. Always having an interest in healthy eating, Lockett has written articles for various magazines alongside her broadcast news career and she also has a healthy eating blog at moneymagpie.com.

Stalker

In January 2000 a 30-year-old man was jailed after stalking Lockett. He wrote dozens of letters and would wait outside the Meridian studios, and tried to find out her home address. He told Lockett: "Every celebrity needs a stalker."^[2] The court case preceded cases involving Emily Maitlis and Julia Somerville. Lockett admitted she was terrified by the unwelcome attention by her "fan", which had left her unable to sleep at night, and made it difficult for her to continue working.
