BRITAIN’S “Human Ken Doll” who once appeared on ITV’s This Morning is facing a prison sentence after admitting a “sextortion” blackmail offence.
Jimmy Featherstone, 25, had told Alison Hammond that he spends £1,000 a year on plastic surgery to maintain his “perfect face”.

Now the wannabe reality TV star has been warned he could be locked up for blackmailing a man.
The police had, in a statement, previously described the offence as involving “sextortion”.
Neil Coxon, prosecuting, said that the blackmail offence affected not only the man, who was the victim of it, but also his partner.
A statement from the partner was being obtained as part of the prosecution case, said Mr Coxon.
Recorder Ian Mullarkey told Featherstone: “You have pleaded guilty to what is a serious case.”
All options would be considered at the next hearing, including a possible prison sentence.
Featherstone was warned that, if he failed to attend at court next time or he committed any further offences, he would be committing a separate offence.
His bail was on condition that he lived at his home address and that he did not contact the blackmail victim in any way, whether directly, indirectly or through social media.
He was accompanied at court by a female supporter.
Featherstone, known for his colourful persona, appeared on the TV programme Hooked On The Look, which featured the world of cosmetic surgery.
In 2021, Featherstone appeared on ITV’s This Morning, alongside Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary, where he discussed his addiction to fake tanning and tanning injections.
Featherstone has been fake tanning since he was 15 and using tanning injections since he was 18 – even though they are illegal in the UK.
Straight after using tanning injections, Featherstone explained how he’ll then jump on a sunbed.
In fact, he will try “anything” when it comes to tanning.
Having just been compared to the Ken Doll at the time, Featherstone admitted he loves the plastic look.
He said: “I’m a very happy person. There’s nothing wrong with the way I feel, it’s not that I haven’t got supportive friends or family, because I have.
“I purely do it because I wanna change the way I look and that’s because I like the outcome.”
When Alison asked if he was happy with the way he looks, he said: “No. There’s a long way to go.”
