Tara They think I’m on the run and they think it’s hilarious

South Wales TV presenter has solved the mystery of her court no-show – she’s stripping in Spain.Former BBC and Sky News reporter Tara Stout has been on the run in the Spain’s balmy Costa Del Sol since failing to appear in court to face harassment charges.The 36-year-old, originally from Gwaelod-y-Garth, near Cardiff, said she had missed birthday parties for her mum and sister at home in Wales as she could not come back to the UK.Tara said she had been pocketing some extra cash at a strip club in the southern Spanish bolt-hole popular with ex-pat criminals. “There’s lots of criminals here. They think I’m on the run and they think it’s hilarious.“One famous robber gave me 200 euro. It was at a strip club where I’ve worked a couple of times – but I wasn’t even stripping.”Tara is accused of sending multi-millionaire Crystal Palace football chairman Simon Jordan lewd messages and a raunchy video.
She said she fled to Spain in December as she thought she was going to be jailed for six months for breaching a restraining order – although she claims it was wrongly imposed.She said: “I don’t trust the courts any more. I’ve breached a restraining order.“Even though I could prove it should never have been put on, I was going to go to jail for six months for breaching it.“I had a choice between going to Holloway Women’s Prison and the Costa Del Sol.
“ I’ve been to Holloway three times and I’m bored of it. So I thought – the Costa Del Sol!”Tara who has appeared in court wearing a series of raunchy outfits was convicted in 2006 of harassing Mr Jordan, a self-made businessman who cashed in on a budget phone business he set up in the ’90s.Divorced Tara, who was living in Clapham, south London, once had a three-day relationship with Mr Jordan.In 2006, she appeared in court accused of sending him more than 100 messages a day, billing him for shopping trips and sending him her underwear.Representing herself, she told the court that he had sent her rude and insulting messages but was given a restraining order preventing her from contacting him again.The former BBC reporter has also been linked with Gary Lineker.
