Jeremy Wolfenden was a foreign correspondent and British spy at the height of the Cold War.
He won a scholarship to Eton where he was known as 'cleverest boy in England', then to Magdalen College, Oxford where he obtained a first in PPE. He was recruited by the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) before becoming the Daily Telegraph foreign correspondent in Moscow where he indulged in his twin passions for sex and alcohol and was eventually compromised by the KGB.
Interestingly, Jeremy Wolfenden was the son of John, later Lord Wolfenden, [pictured] who chaired the committee responsible for producing the Wolfenden Report in 1957 - which was instrumental in the decriminalization of homosexuality in England and Wales.
