Tamara Ecclestone - Tamara Ecclestone Blackmailed Over Secret Relationship

Derek Rose, 32, and Jakir Uddin, 19, allegedly warned the TV star's agent Dana Malmstrom they would go to the press with a story about Ecclestone's relationship unless they received the six-figure sum.

The daughter of billionaire Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone turned to cops in December (11) after her would-be extortionists sent an email demanding the money.

The men were arrested on 5 April (12) and bailed at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London with a condition that they do not contact either Tamara or Malmstrom.

Prosecutor Tony Connell told the court, "This offence involves a blackmail made by email to Tamara Ecclestone's agent to the sum of £200,000."

Rose and Uddin are each charged with a single count of blackmail and will appear at Southwark Crown Court on 19 June (12).
