text: A hotelier claims to be living in fear after her windows were smashed and she received intimidating phone calls after appearing on Channel 4's 'Four in a Bed' criticising other hotels in the area. Jennifer McGirr, 61, said the abuse started when the windows to the Tower View Hotel, which she owns, were shattered after a man threw a brick at them in a 'premeditated' attack. She also claims to have had a stream of intimidating phone calls since starring on the reality TV show, where B&B owners visit each others properties and rate their stay. Hotelier Jennifer McGirr claims to be living in fear after her windows were smashed and she received intimidating phone calls after appearing on Channel 4's 'Four in a Bed' During the programme, Ms McGirr described other hotels in Blackpool, Lancashire, as  'grim', in response to another couple's claims that there were cheaper places to stay in the area. She said: 'It's come totally out of the blue. It's been very frightening really. 'Where does all this hatred come from?' On hotel CCTV footage of the incident, a man can be seen walking up to the hotel with a brick in his hand before spending several minutes outside, apparently checking he is not being watched. He can be seen putting the brick down while he sits on a nearby wall for a while, letting a car go past, before he picks it up again and hurls it at the hotel. She then received an abusive phone call later in the day, while police were at the hotel investigating the damage. She said she also answered the phone in the middle of the night and could hear only the sound of someone breathing.

'He said it was a disgusting, horrible hotel and he wouldn't stay there if I paid him. 'I don't know this guy - it's not anyone who has stayed here. I passed the phone to one of the policemen and when he said hello the man hung up.'
