From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blue Tulip Rose Read is the infamous stalker of TV and radio personality Mike Read. She featured in a film made by Jaine Green for Channel Four in 1996 entitled "I'm your number one fan" as part of its Fame Factor season looking at the dark side of celebrity.

Rose was one of the most candid interviewees in the film and was filmed travelling to the offices of Classic FM and writing love letters to the celebrity. It was said in the film that Rose had been writing obscene and threatening letters to Read for many years.

Rose was from Welwyn Garden City and her original name was Carol Ballard. She changed her name after she apparently thought that she was married to Read.

Her subsequent activities since the film remain unknown.
