A former boyfriend of socialite and model Tamara Ecclestone was found guilty today of blackmailing her for £200,000.

Derek Rose was in a relationship with the daughter of Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone when she was just 17.

Rose, 33, went out with Ms Ecclestone, 28, in 2002 before he changed his name by deed poll from Jonathan Ketterman.

Southwark Crown Court heard that Rose and media studies student Jakir Uddin, 20 - whom the jury have yet to deliver a verdict on - plotted together to blackmail Ms Ecclestone and drafted an email together which they sent to her manager Dana Malmstrom.
