A stalker has been posing as Cristiano Ronaldo to lure Big Brother winner Sophie Reade on Facebook.
The weirdo first contacted Sophie – who has met and flirted with the footballer – in October using the alias Cristiano Aveiro – Ronaldo’s real name.
But when Sophie rang it she was concerned as there was no international dialling tone.
She told The Daily Star: "I thought it was odd that the dialling tone sounded like a UK one. Usually when you phone people in Spain you can tell they’re abroad. But when he spoke he sounded just like Cristiano, so I wasn’t sure.
"I’ve met Cristiano so didn’t think it was at all weird he should contact me. He asked me lots of questions and reminded me we’d met before. It was then that I knew he wasn’t the real Cristiano.
"I just don’t understand why he would go to so much trouble. He’s clearly sick in the head.
"I rang my phone company to see if they could trace the number. They did and told me he was calling from London. I live in London now so every time I go out I’m petrified."
The 20-year-old model added: "The scary thing is he knows what I look like but I have absolutely no idea who he is. I haven’t been out by myself since it all happened.
"I was on the Tube the other day and this guy kept staring at me and I kept thinking to myself, is it him?
"The guy on Facebook knew so many things about me. He’d also done his research on Cristiano. I just don’t understand why someone would do something like this, it’s sick.
"I’ve been lucky but if he was to contact someone a lot younger than me, like an impressionable teenage girl, who knows what might happen? She might be tempted to meet him."

The weirdo first contacted Sophie – who has met and flirted with the footballer – in October using the alias Cristiano Aveiro – Ronaldo’s real name.
The two started chatting regularly and earlier this month he stepped up his campaign to meet her and rekindle their romance when he gave her his mobile number.
But when Sophie rang it she was concerned as there was no international dialling tone.
