Warne wants police protection from paparazzi

Spin legend Shane Warne has asked for police protection from a notorious paparazzo photgrapher.


Warne has claimed that Sydney-based photographer Jamie Fawcett is tormenting his family. Incidentally Fawcett also had a legal battle with Nicole Kidman, has been staking out the former Australian cricketer amid speculation he has reunited with his former wife, Simone, the Courier Mail reported.


Warne is said to be enraged with Fawcett for photographing his children. A series of pictures of the Warne family enjoying a day on the beach recently fetched $50,000 from gossip magazine New Idea.


Warne has confirmed the complaint to police but declined to expand on Fawcett's paparazzi activities. Fawcett said he was recently confronted by the leg-spinner outside a Melbourne cafe.

"He did say to me at one stage that he'd rung the police and knew all about me," Fawcett said. "But I'm very careful about how I follow celebrities these days and whilst I and my colleagues do a lot of work in relation to Shane Warne, we keep it all very low key. In fact, I could almost say that on 95 per cent of occasions he actually wouldn't know we were there. I don't badger celebs."

The Warnes are believed to have rekindled their rocky love affair in recent months and have been photographed together in Brighton and on the Mornington Peninsula.

Both have refused to comment on the state of their relationship.
