A teacher has been left constantly looking over my shoulder after her bodybuilder ex pestered and stalked her in the gym for 10 months, a court has heard.
Rebecca Cundall, 25, claims Dale Moir would verbally abuse her during her workouts and threatened to show other gym members pornographic photos of her – despite not having any.
The pair, who met at a Total Fitness gym in Whitefield five years earlier, says Moir, 27, would not leave her alone after their break up.
She switched to another gym but claims he followed her there and also set up fake Instagram profiles pretending to be gym members.
The dad-of-one used the profiles to post pictures and messages about Rebecca. He told her ex-boyfriends she was weird and had been stalking him.
One post read: I do still love you Beckie.
Police were contacted after Rebecca spoke to gym staff, who said she was so upset she was stuttering and mumbling.

At Manchester Magistrates Court Rebecca said: The guy is always there and he is always going to be there.
I cant live my life and I cant have new relationships. People dont want to speak to me, they say: “I dont want to deal with that”.
Im in fear, I am constantly looking over my shoulder. I thank God I have moved house. The guy is good at stalking.
The pair split up in March 2018.
She told the court Moir would follow her around the gym calling her spotty bitch or slag and said her eyebrows looked like slugs.
He would wait for her to finish her session and follow her out, the court heard.
Rebecca continued: He was following me most of the time and kept shouting stuff across the gym and swearing at me whilst other members were there. He then followed me outside and continued to verbally abuse me.
At one time I was meeting my mum who had just been for a massage opposite the gym and when I was ringing her to say where I was, she could hear him in the background shouting.
I messaged his Dad asking him to tell his son to leave me alone but he kept following me and I would always ring my friend when I was coming out of the gym – I was scared.
