AN obsessed fan of Ashley Roberts has been found not guilty of stalking the Pussycat Dolls star, a court today heard.
Lewis Langley allegedly turned up outside the radio studio where the singer works 15 times and blew kisses at her.
But today Langley, 47, was found not guilty of stalking at Croydon Crown Court.
Roberts said she "didn't feel safe" after being targeted outside her work at at Global International in central London, the court heard.
The jury was also told how Langley allegedly believed they were in a "romantic relationship" and "blew kisses" at her.

Defence lawyer Mr Hesham Puri had previously summarised by saying it is not disputed that Langley blew kisses or attended her workplace.
But he argued that, while his behaviour was odd, it was not enough to cause her serious distress.
Mr Puri said Langley's behaviour was "unattractive, irritating" but did not cross the threshold into being "oppressive".
However, Langley was given a restraining order not to directly or indirectly contact Ms Roberts.
And he was also ordered not to go within 50 metres of Global International in Leicester Square.
FAN CLEARED
Langley became known as "the martial artist" by security guards because of his bizarre exercise routines, it was said.
Ashley, 41, told the court earlier today she was left feeling "very uncomfortable" by Langley's behaviour.
She added: “I didn’t feel safe. I didn’t feel comfortable walking around.
"I was looking over my shoulder to make sure he wasn’t around or following me.”
Asked about what made her feel uncomfortable, she said: “His behaviour, his mannerisms. His look and giggling at me, lunges at me.

“Sometimes he was just standing there smiling, giggling. At one point he blew a kiss at my car.”
She estimated she saw him around 15 times between May and October last year after she became aware of him.
But the singer added: “He was there quite often. I didn’t count. I just tried to get in and out of the building.”
Langley was detained under the Mental Health Act in August last year but began returning to Ashley's workplace in October.
Police informed the star Langley believed they were in a relationship, it was said.
Ashley said her concerns grew after receiving the information as she did not know what he could be "capable of".
The court was told security measures were ramped up at the radio HQ - including Ashley being walked to and from her car.
Langley also allegedly repeatedly showed up at an address in Borough where he believed Ashley lived.
The court was told he would sit on a chair just staring into the building.
Prosecutor Alex Alawode said: "The defendant states he was not stalking the complainant but had good reason to be at those locations."
