Beauty Towie Ferne, 31, fell for him when she found out he threw acid on a crowd of nightclubs in East London.

Collins, who has a three-year-old daughter with Ferne, is locked up at Class ‘A’ HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes, Bucks.

Sources say he has known Gemma for years, and on New Year’s Eve she shared snaps of herself posing in red pajamas embossed with the name “Arthur” which had been tagged in the page his personal Instagram.

Gemma, 29, of Londonderry, Northern Ireland, also shared a photo taken before he was jailed.

A comment on an account attributed to Collins read “My Girl”. She replied, “Love you.”

A source said: ‘Arthur may have been beaten up but that doesn’t stop him from talking sweetly to her from the inside. They became romantic last year and are officially a couple.”

The Sun understands that Woodhill sheriffs ordered a search of Collins’ cell phone after learning of the post but could not find it.

It is unknown if he has access to the phone or if someone is acting on his behalf.
