    The Instagram influencer, who has 81,000 followers, bombarded the stars with persistent calls and messages.
    Sloan, who was seen partying in Marbella on Sunday night, was spared jail when she was sentenced at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today.
    She was instead handed a 12 week sentence suspended for 18 months and told to pay the millionaire stars a total of £1,100 in compensation – £500 to Mount and £300 to Chilwell and Gilmour.
    The model was also handed a restraining order preventing her from contacting the footballing trio and will have to perform 200 hours of unpaid work.

    Sloan, who wore a white dress, headband and black jacket, asked her lawyer Michael Cogan to publicly apologise to Mount, Chilwell and Gilmour.
    The court was told by her mum, who describes herself on Facebook as a Reiki and Shamanic healer, that her daughter is “addicted” to social media.
    She previously admitted one count of harassment one of stalking and one count of stalking involving fear of violence or serious alarm or distress.
    The latter charge carries a maximum sentence of ten years in prison.

    Chair of the bench Alison Gowman branded the stalking campaign “sustained and deliberate” as she handed down her sentence.
    The court was told the influencer was invited to a party at Chilwell’s house after chatting to him over Instagram.
    She slept with Mount once after meeting him at the bash and the pair chatted “sporadically” for around six months until he cut things off.
    But Sloan then sent a string of messages to the star following the one-off tryst last year.
    She also changed her number 21 times when the footballer kept blocking her.
    Sloan sent Mount a screenshot of her paying £12.99 for a new number from Apple, saying: “I’m not buying food anymore so I can get more numbers.
    “I will be faster than you.”
    In another text, the model laid out a list of women’s names she claimed she had “found out about”.
    She then chillingly added: “I will find out everything.”
    Also also messaged saying she was “finding it really hard to move on”.
    She continued: “You must accept my apology and say sorry or you will meet a new character called devil baby.
    “Beware of devil baby Mason I can morph any second so let me apologise and make things right.”
    Not content with just messaging the Chelsea star, Sloan bombarded Gilmour with messages about Mount.
    She also made an Instagram account with the username DevilBaby_10, which she used to create collages of Chilwell with other women.
    The stalker, who previously revealed she raked in £50,000 eating Percy Pigs while naked, tagged his family and friends in the “completely fictitious” posts.
    In a statement, Mount told how he was left terrified Sloan would show up at the Chelsea training centre after he blocked her.
    He said: “I have repeatedly made it clear to her I no longer wish to hear from her and I have blocked her on multiple occasions and I believe this was a clear message.
    “I now believe she has an obsession and fixation with me and I don’t know what she would be capable of.
    “She knows my address and the address of my training centre.
    “Her behaviour has been erratic and I am worried that now she is unable to contact me she might turn up at the training centre and that is why I have now contacted the police.
    “I’m worried her persistent attempted to contact anyone I follow will ruin friendships and potential relationships.”
    While Gilmour said the stalking continued even after he moved to Brighton in September 2022 on a £9million deal from Chelsea.
    His new club put safety measures in place after he expressed his concerns over Sloan.
    Gilmour was also forced to delete all his friends and family from Instagram so she could not contact them.
    He said: “I have not been able to sleep and I have had to take sleeping tablets which has affected my performance.”
    The star added: “Being alone in a new town where I didn’t have any friends or family is very isolating.
    “This is a person I met once for a brief period of time.”
    In mitigation, Sloan’s lawyer said she was an “enterprising young woman” who was “dazzled” when she met Mount.
    Mr Cogan added: “The reality was as far as Mr Mount was concerned he never intended it to be a lasting relationship.
    “For someone like Ms Sloan she felt somewhat discarded and she wanted to know why.
    “She thought there was something there in circumstances where everyone else knew there was nothing.
    “She had been sucked into a world of instant gratification achieved only by being seen with other more people more successful than herself.
    “As a result of that she obsesses over the way she looks and how she feels other people view her.”
    The lawyer also said Sloan’s “isolation became complete” during Covid when she was living with her dad in an isolated area.
    He said she moved to London at the first given opportunity, where she now lives in a world where “superficial social connections have greater importance and replace the harsh reality of life”.
    Sloan admitted stalking Mount between June 19, 2022 to October 28 and Scots international Gilmour between September 10 2022, and October 28.
    She also pleaded guilty to harassing Chilwell between October 20 and 29.

    The challenge from Gerrard went unpunished in the game but he did later receive a three-match suspension from the FA.
    But the tackle was remembered by fans, and one took to social media to ask people who they would like to do the same too.
    And Carragher got involved in the fans’ banter as he commented: “Gary Neville.”
    Carragher and Neville often clashed during their playing days as they turned out for rivals Liverpool and Manchester United.

    Watch Wales star Joe Morrell get SENT OFF for ‘stopping Turkish star having kids’ as Dragons slump to 2-0 defeat

    JOE MORRELL was sent off for a shocking tackle during Wales’ Euro qualifier defeat against Turkey that had fans fearing for his victim.The Welsh midfielder lunged high into Turkey star Ferdi Kadioglu with his studs showing and caught the defender.

    Referee Fabio Maresca was left with little option but to give Morrell his marching orders.
    And the Portsmouth star left his Wales team a man down before the end of the first half.
    SunSport’s referee expert Mark Halsey branded the 41st minute challenge ‘a nailed on red card which endangered the players’ safety’ as Morrell caught Kadioglu with the high boot when stretching.
    The red card proved costly for Wales as Turkey substitute Umat Nayir headed home a 72nd minute opener before Arda Guler’s curler into the top corner eight minutes later ramped up the pressure even more on under-fire boss Robert Page.

    Fans were quick to react to the tackle on social media.
    One viewer claimed: “Joe Morrell just stopped some Turkish player having kids 🟥 Card for Morrell.”
    A second tweeted: “Ridiculous from Morrell. Just daft.”
    A third wrote: “Silly from Morrell. Game is gone.”
    Most read in Football
    A fourth commented: “And I hope that’s the last time we ever see Morrell in a Wales kit.”
    A fifth said: “Wales reduced to 10 men yet again! A straight red from the ref after a foolish challenge from Joe Morrell. Not good at all.”
    CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS
    Former Wales striker Nation Blake slammed the challenge as “dangerous” and was unable to defend Morrell.
    He told BBC Radio Wales: “It is hard to defend that, it is so high, that is a dangerous tackle no matter how you try to dress it up.
    “That has absolutely swung this game in Turkey’s favour.”
    On a chaotic night in Samsun, Turkey had two goals disallowed by VAR while Danny Ward saved a second half penalty to deny Inter Milan’s Hakan Calhanoghlu.
    At the halfway stage of qualification, Page’s men, who have now won just one match in their last 12, are five points behind Group D leaders Turkey.
    Armenia, who stunned the Dragons with a 4-2 win in Cardiff last Friday, are second after beating Latvia last night.
    And 2022 World Cup semi-finalists Croatia, who did not play this month due to their Nations League involvement, are also above Wales despite only playing two matches.
    Page’s side are now fourth in the table and any hope of qualifying for Germany may come through a possible play-off if they can recover to finish third in the group.
    But Wales’ ill-discipline also cost them dearly with Morrell’s red card the third in the last six internationals.
    This follows Wayne Hennessey’s sending off against Iran in Qatar and the dismissal of Kieffer Moore in the Armenian humiliation last Friday.
    For spells, Wales were much more compact and had better control than the shambolic performance against Armenia.
    But, once they went down to ten men, you could only see one result coming as the storm clouds continued to gather at a rain-soaked Samsun.
    Bournemouth defender Chris Mepham was relieved when his ninth-minute own goal was ruled out by VAR for offside against Turkey right-back Zeki Celik in the build-up.
    But, once they went down to ten men, you could only see one result coming as the storm clouds continued to gather at a rain-soaked Samsun.
    Ward kept Wales in it with his low stop to his right to save from the Turkey captain Çalhanoglu after Aaron Ramsey’s handball.
    Umut thought he had scored the opener when he tapped in after Ward parried but VAR ruled the striker had handled.

    But there was no denying Umut when he rose highest above Mepham to head home despite Ward getting a hand to the effort.
    Then Guler sealed victory when he curled a beautiful left-footed shot past Ward into the top far corner to sink Wales – and possibly Page with more questions now to be asked over his future. More

    “I wanted to create this community and talk about Formula 1, but not in such a serious way for a serious sport.
