Sienna Miller has called for paparazzi photographers to be banned - because she fears for her safety when she is being chased.

The actress – who has had a number of angry run-ins with snappers - believes the media obsession with celebrity isn't healthy and that photographers should take a step back, especially when dealing with lone female stars.

She says: "Certain aspects obviously I understand but running down the street with 10 men chasing you isn't very fun.

“I don't find it easy. I mean I'm a girl on my own sometimes walking my dogs and have to run home with grown men chasing me.

"If you take away the cameras then that's not legal but if they have that then suddenly that's ok, so I just think the psychology is a bit weird."
