Ferne McCann’s acid attacker ex Arthur Collins poses with phones

Arthur Collins was posing with alcohol and 12 smuggled-in phones from inside prison 

Acid attack thug Arthur Collins has been filmed posing with alcohol and 12 smuggled-in mobile phones while sat in his cell at a high-security prison.

The 25-year-old was smiling inside HMP Belmarsh in south east London after he was jailed for 20 years for hurling acid across the dancefloor in a busy London nightclub.

Collins, who was in a relationship with reality star Ferne McCann, 27, was wearing a £200 designer Stone Island tracksuit and held a bottle of white rum in the collection of images. 

He seemed to be celebrating meeting their daughter at the Category ‘A’ prison just weeks after her birth on November 2. 

One of the 16 people who were caught up in the attack said that seeing the first photographs of him in prison made her ‘feel sick’.

Sophie Hall, 22, suffered burns to her face and arm, told the Sun on Sunday: ‘They make me feel sick.

‘How can someone who has done something so evil have alcohol and mobile phones in prison? It infuriates me.’

The estate agent, from Poole, Dorset, added: ‘He’s shown no remorse and seems to carry on like nothing’s happened.

‘It shows that he couldn’t care less about his victims. After he was sentenced everyone thinks it’s been put to bed but we’re still dealing with it.’ 

Another victim said the pictures were ‘frustrating’ and ‘annoying’ and questioned how the prison allowed it to happen.  

Collins was jailed after he threw the corrosive acid over revellers when a fight broke out at the Mangle nightclub in Dalston, east London, in April last year. 

Collins and McCann had been living the high life in the weeks before the attack. He was wearing the same 'Candy Killer' T-shirt he wore in this picture during the attack

He went on the run after the attack and was eventually found at a home in Northamptonshire. Collins was convicted of five counts of GBH with intent and nine counts of ABH. 

A source told the newspaper: ‘After he first met his baby girl he got a few lads round his cell to celebrate. 

‘They were drinking 63 per cent proof Wray and Nephew rum mixed with ginger beer and joking around. He was still holding out hope he can sort things with Ferne.’
