Despite being in prison after being allegedly the subject of a vile acid attack, Arthur Collins, who once dated Ferne McCann and has a child with the star, is said to have made a connection to a former Love Island star.
Ferne McCann’s shamed ex boyfriend has found himself in a new relationship from behind bars, according to reports. Arthur Collins, 32, is currently serving 20 years in prison for a vile acid attack in a nightclub which left 16 people with chemical burns.
At the time of the attack, Collins was dating the former TOWIE star but he has now reportedly found a romantic connection with another reality TV star. Claims suggest Collins is romantically involved with former Love Island star Amelia Peters and has been flirting with her from inside prison.
It’s thought the duo first connected last October when Collins contacted the 26-year-old ex-Islander after spotting her Instagram account. A source claims the pair are now in regular contact, with Collins sending Peters bouquets of flowers.
She is also said to have been visiting him regularly in prison. A source told the Sun: “They talk all the time — despite the fact he’s in jail. He’s got a phone they speak on and he’s sent her flowers a number of times.”
A phone in prison is illegal, and Collins already received an eight-month sentence in 2018 for entering the jail while smuggling one.
The most recent reports come days after Collins was question about his involvement in a drug trafficking operation using drones into Cat C HMP The Mount.
Prison chiefs launched an investigation over suspicions dealers were flooding the jail with drugs using drones. There had been concerns that the thug – who shares daughter Sunday with ex-partner Ferne, 34 – had masterminded the plot in the Herts prison.
However, no police inquiries were made, and the Mirror revealed that he had been moved to a more restrictive jail. Collins has been the subject of a significant internal prison investigation, according to a source.
“It was suspected that drug dealers had been euthanizing HMP The Mount with drones.” The prospect of a drug tampering with tens of thousands of pounds entering the jail is a great concern.
“The police have not been called in because the situation has been handled internally. Collins has since been moved to a much stricter prison.
Ferne made a statement after Collins was jailed. She stated at the time, “Ferne’s thoughts are of course with the innocent people who were harmed by the events at Mangle last April. No one should ever experience violence on a night out.
She told Collins prisoner after the sentencing that this was their last chance to see either of us.
You have destroyed our lives, they say. You have done this, exactly. And you are missing out on this. You’ll never run into us again.
