A TV star was blackmailed by a drug addict who threatened to reveal his alleged fetish for being trampled on during cocaine-fuelled sex sessions with male prostitutes, a court heard.
The celeb, known to millions, paid £18,500 to Alex Garrigan, 26, over the course of six months to keep him quiet.
Garrigan, a dad-of-two, had had a "financial sexual relationship" with the star for three years, a court heard.
He would pay between £80 to £100 a session to be "trampled" on by Garrigan, a court was told.
The fetish involved him either walking or sitting on the celeb's body.
But Garrigan, from London, then threatened to reveal details of the star's "sordid sessions".
Prosecutor Paul Fairley told Croydon Crown Court: "The allegations related to cocaine-fuelled sex sessions, debts arising out of those, using rent boys, etc, etc, spending £2,000 a week on these so-called - as it was put - ‘sordid sessions’."
In one email Garrigan wrote: "If I ain’t got my fucking money, I’m going to start putting posters up everywhere as well. Is it really worth all this?"
The victim went to police who discovered Garrigan, a crack cocaine addict, was also blackmailing a teacher.
He was jailed for four-and-a-half years.
It comes as a number of celebrities have been targeted by sex tape leaks.
A number of high-profile celebrities, including Calum Best and Celebrity runner-up Joel Dommett, have recently had their videos - made with female models over Skype - leaked on porn sites.
Now others fear they could be next.
The Sun claims a former England footballer, a BBC presenter, a Hollywood actor and a former X Factor star are "panicked" that their own footage could make its way online.
