Carrie Hope Fletcher

Yes I assume so too!

I did mention GuruGossip but (I assume, I can't even figure out how to navigate that site, I'm too old...) you have to dig about a bit to find the information there. However assuming you have some kind of knowledge of what you're looking for the property site doesn't require that much knowledge....

Yeah, I was referring to the property search site.

Before the Internet, famous people's addresses were shared via letters from fan to fan. That was more for boy band members. It was seen as ok, almost, for crowds of fans to hang around their houses all day. There aren't really huge boy bands like that these days but I'm sure if a new One Direction came out the same thing would probably happen. Im not condoning it but it always happens.

Any other genre it goes into the creepy.

I remember hearing someone at stage door saying part of their front door was the same at Kerry Ellis' and wondering how on earth they had found themselves at her front door to examine it!

Just pull back from the social media Carrie. I’m not saying don’t do anything ever, but just stop feeding them. It’s time.

Standing outside hotels for tours is hardly news though or a result of social media. As above with Boy Bands fans have always found out where bands stayed on tour and waited outside, as far back as the Beatles!

We’re so quick to blame social media for everything when in fact fans have found ways and means since way before.

Also personally I have less a problem with fans loitering outside a hotel to wave a band/star off/hope for an autograph- it’s a public place (most hotels I’m sure keep them carefully outside) and I think most pop stars expect it/it’s a bit like stage door. So as long as everyone behaves that doesn’t cross any lines in my mind.

Yes! I meant to add that pop stars/hotel situation have security (and obviously HUGE pop stars have security anyway)

That said as scary and wrong as this is, it's still a relative 'storm in a teacup' situation - Carrie isn't a HUGE name, the portion of people finding out her address was a tiny group who probably did it for trolling purposes rather than any action, as utterly wrong (and pointless) as it all is, I don't think we're at a point where 100s of theatre fans are going to be turning up at a performers house as a rule yet.

I used to work in a hotel where a lot of singers would stay due to our proximity to a concert venue, and fans can be very very scary lol.

I think this whole situation has thought everyone a few lessons.

To echo what theatremonkey has just said. If you want to keep something private then do exactly that. Don't talk about it. I dont know an awful lot about her, she is not someone whos career I follow but on social media She comes across as a hard working, inoffensive individual but also a little immature. For a house she repeatedly said she wanted to keep private she talked an awful lot about it. I think also anyone in that profession needs to be mindful of the age of their fans. I mean no disrespect but sometimes when I see some of her social media posts I would be cringing at how blatantly she is manipulating her young fans. If you are going to do that then you need to be very mindful about posting personal stuff. While her address information was not posted by theatre fans you can be damn sure they all had a look to find it. In a nutshell you need to be mindful of your audience and post appropriately.

Also I am sure we all have seen it over the years and I am sure we all can list plenty of examples before Carrie, of Actors being changed by roles (Ms Erivo anyone???) but from the little I have seen online Heathers appears to have changed Carrie (Both in a good and bad way) lately though I feel the bad out ways the good.

Lots of us who are not in the spotlight take a hiatus from social media and I think maybe that's no harm and something carrie should consider for a bit.

Rant over and its all meant with good intentions so don't come at me.

I agree. There's another actress I follow on Instagram who posts every day. In her Instagram stories she regularly posts about an activity she does (every day) and the locations (which only vary slightly) in which she does it. 

I always think it's a bit odd because anyone who wanted to run into her would know exactly where she's likely to be at a certain time. 

Yes. Luckily she doesn't give away details of her address or anything, but she mentions the area a lot. It's a bit worrying!

Carrie addressed the reasons why she is not doing a house tour in her recent video, and mainly it's because she wants a boundary. She also addressed the issues she has had with people finding her address. It also apparently happened at her old flat, where she had people find out where she lived and was followed home, sent anonymous letters and had people stand outside her window and call out to her.

I can't help but feel sorry for her. Yes I get that she sometimes may bring it on herself, but that kind of stuff shouldn't happen to anyone, it's scary!
