Christine’s stalker horror
39-yr-old facing sentencing played devils from Hell in movie
CHRISTINE Lampard’s stalker smears lipstick across his face as he plays a maniacal crossdressing demon in a horror film.
Our exclusive pictures show actor Christof King portraying a version of Cerberus – a mythological beast known as the Hound of Hades.
The 39-year-old is due to be sentenced on Monday after admitting one count of stalking last week.
He left Christine too scared to go out alone after allegedly bombarding her with messages on Twitter and emails for three years between January 2015 and last September.
On Friday, King admitted to one count of stalking Christine, but denied sending her tweets. A judge is to decide the matter at a further hearing tomorrow before passing sentence.
King took the role of a demon in a low-budget short film Taenarum the year he started his alleged campaign of harassment against Co Down-born Christine, 39, who is now pregnant with her first child.
Our exclusive images show King dancing erratically and wearing red contact lenses as he plays three versions of the same demon.
The actor boasts about the role – in which he wears tights, a women’s top covered with floral designs and crimson contact lenses – on his online profile.
A video of his part as Cerberus was posted two years ago on the Star Now website, which he uses to tout for acting work and advertises a string of cameos he has had in low-rent films.
Cerberus is a three-headed dog beast known as the Hound of Hades.
In Greek mythology he guards the underworld and stops the dead from escaping their fate.
The film in which King plays Cerberus tells of a musician hunting for his dead wife in nightmarish blackness while being tormented by his co-star’s depictions of three demons.
Telling of his acting dreams on the Star Now website, King says he is both an “actor and presenter”, adding he is determined to take “further roles that will enable him to demonstrate and extend his natural acting ability”.
King says: “I was shortlisted as presenter for the Health Show (live surgery) series on The Islam Channel.
“I have also worked for the BBC factual science series Horizon and on The Bohm Documentary, a film about the life of physicist David Bohm.”
King’s profile contains a link uploaded two years ago to a clip of his appearance on Taenarum.
The short film by Lithuanian director Viktorija Zilinskait, is billed as “documentary-style” footage telling the story of a musician who lost his wife.
It is based on Greek myth Orpheus, who had to search for his wife Eurydice in the underworld.
When the musician enters Hell, he is confronted with blackness and three demons played by King. As he calls out: “Where am I? Who’s there?” King appears in his three demon guises, poking his tongue through his fingers, smiling menacingly and rolling his head. One devil he plays is a grinning suit-wearer, another a spectre in grey clothes and silver face paint, while the third is a lipstick-covered cross-dresser. King’s other minor roles listed on his Star Now profile include a politician whose private material is exposed in short film The Smartphone Hacker.
He had a cameo as a “barber’s customer” in movie Night In Hatton Garden, starring Michael Caine and Ray Winstone as thieves who escaped with £14million in goods from a safe deposit centre in London.
King, from Kilburn, North London, left Christine hiding in the bedroom of the home she shares with husband Frank Lampard, 39, when he turned up at their house.
The stalker also left the star too scared to go out alone.
Tweets he allegedly sent Christine included one that warned: “I can hear the screeching of the nails as I sharpen them for your crucifixion.” Another alleged message said: “I am planning the writing on your gravestone.”
Christine – who is expecting her first child with Frank – received letters from King during the alleged campaign. And he went to the couple’s €11.5million Chelsea mansion.
Frank told how King turned up to their home on October 13 and his wife was horrified to see the stalker loitering at their front gate.
Prosecutor Alistair Smith told Isleworth Crown Court on Friday King was convinced it was his “destiny” to be with her. He said: “The motivation appears to be a belief that there’s a form of bond or pre-destined emotional relationship.”
In a statement, Christine said: “I do not go out alone anymore – I always go out with someone.”
Frank said in a statement his wife and their housekeeper Chona Angel “hid in the bedroom” because they were so frightened of King.
He added: “It has both made us feel very vulnerable. Christine became flustered and nervous and concerned for her safety. I could see she was very anxious and shaken.
“The housekeeper refers to her saying not to go outside because of the stalker.”
John Oliver, defending, said King
Frank did go out and say ‘You’ve got to stop it’s not normal’ CHRISTINE LAMPARD TALKS ABOUT HER ORDEAL
denies ever sending the tweets and claimed it was not a “continuous” campaign.
Last year, Christine told how Frank protected her when King booked into their hotel.
She told ITV’S Loose Women: “There was a chap who had been trying to get in contact with me for a while. He thought we were married in his mind. He randomly turned up at the hotel we were staying in, which does freak you out because there’s a sense he knows where you are. “Frank did go out and say, ‘You’ve got to stop, this isn’t normal behaviour’. We haven’t heard since.” King appeared in court on February 19 to apply to have the charge against him dismissed. His counsel on that occasion, Danielle Barden, said it was not accepted that King caused Christine “serious distress” and therefore a jury could not reasonably convict.
On Friday Judge Robin Johnson granted bail before sentencing tomorrow. He said: “I am adjourning this matter until Monday and if you have any doubts of what will happen I’m sure Mr Oliver will tell you.
“The terms of your bail are as they have been before.”
Christine married former Chelsea footballer Frank in 2015 after meeting him at the Pride of Britain Awards in 2009.
She is step-mother to Isla and Luna, Frank’s two daughters from a previous relationship.
