The hearing was told that James had been hired by the London-based medic to carry out work on her parents' home in Lancashire and his unhealthy interest in her had gone from there.

He admitted that he had fitted a tracking device to her car in order to monitor her activities.

The offence was committed between November 3 and 20 last year.

Sentencing will now take place at Bolton Magistrates' Court before which time James is on bail conditional that he does not have any contact with his victim.
