This astonishing mugshot of Shadow from ITV s Gladiator series with hollow cheeks and dead eyes has been issued by police after he admitted taking part in a drug-fuelled blackmail plot. Jefferson King had demanded £1,000 last year from a mother for the safe return of her son who was allegedly being held hostage by a gang.
The former bodybuilder, who is barely recognisable from his 1990s heyday after years of drug abuse, is currently in custody awaiting sentencing at the conclusion of a trial of other alleged blackmailers.
Jurors at Isleworth Crown Court were told that King, now 59, was known as Shadow in Gladiators , a popular sports entertainment game show broadcast on ITV and later Sky 1 in the UK.
