Britain's most notorious prisoner saw lads' mag model in jail 'while writing love letters to ex'

Britain's most notorious ­convict was reportedly in a love triangle ­between his ex-wife and a mens' magazine model. According to the Sunday Mirror, Charles Bronson, 70, was having prison meetings with Gemma Fernandez, who is in her 30s and posed for FHM, while writing love letters to first wife Irene Dunroe.

The newspaper said it told in February how Gemma contacted him after seeing Tom Hardy star in the film about his life. She is campaigning to release the con, who has spent 47 years in jail, and has met him inside. She said: “It was his first visit in two years – a big, big day.

“It was lovely to see him. I gave him a massive hug. It was really, really nice. He was all excited.” But he has told 70-year-old Irene, a former Ann Summers sales person, that he and Gemma have split because “romance and prison don’t mix”.
