Jefferson King

Jefferson King

Jefferson King (born 1 July 1961) played Shadow in the ITV show "Gladiators". As his alias Shadow, he was legendary for his icy stare and his record in the 'Duel' event. He once hit his opponent so hard in the event 'Duel' that it clearly damaged the ends of the pugil stick. He also successfully served as captain for the Gladiators.

He was dramatically sacked from Gladiators due to steroid abuse [ [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_19950131/ai_n9631182 "'Gladiator' sacked for taking steroids"] , The Independent, January 31 1995] [ [http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/37918/What-happened-to-the-Gladiators- "What happened to the Gladiators?"] , Daily Express, March 13 2008] . This shock removal of one of Gladiators most well-known heroes brought home notion that no Gladiator was bigger than the show, however much their egos might suggest otherwise.

King now owns his own business in London and has two twin children named Theo & Tiffany.
