A three-foot convicted criminal has sparked outrage after he amassed more than 62,000 followers on social media in the past 48 hours – while still behind bars.
Aiden Henry, who is in jail for burglary, became an online sensation after he uploaded videos on a banned mobile phone while behind bars.
It is not the first time the 28-year-old from London – dubbed ‘Britain’s smallest prisoner’ – has managed to obtain a phone, as he previous released footage threatening to rape a boxing world champion and of himself bellyflopping into a bath.

The Londoner posted footage of himself diving into a bin bag filled with ice on Instagram, which racked up more than 100,000 views
Henry opened new social media accounts two days ago, which show him diving into a bin bag filled with ice, boasting about guns, grinding suggestively and posting topless selfies from behind bars.
The convict racked up 52,000 followers on Instagram in just two days under the handle @littleman-in-sauce, with famous fans like rapper Lethal Bizzle liking his social media activity. However his page was reported and deleted last night.
Henry is still defying prison rules and uploading content on Snapchat as @littlemanhmp, where he claimed to have 10,000 followers on the platform yesterday.

He was sentenced to 32 months for burglary of a property in Rugby, Warwickshire. It was reported he could face additional time in prison for posting illegal footage on YouTube threatening Britain’s world champion boxer Billy Joe Saunders.
It does not appear to have deterred the criminal who has been posting on Snapchat and promised to return to Instagram after ‘f**king pigs’ reported his profile.
The clip of him diving into an ice bin bag just two days ago racked up an impressive 123,000 views in a day, while another clip of him with the caption ‘Someone line up a big batty gal for me’ and dancing suggestively to a dancehall song amassed 164,000 views on Instagram.
In another video posted on Snapchat, Henry was seen inside his locked prison cell while inmates show off a diamond-encrusted watch.
In other footage, Henry and another inmate boasted about ‘having a trigger strapped 24/7 p****’. The three-foot-convict then imitates pulling the trigger of a gun at the camera and shouts ‘Boom’.

On his Snapchat account yesterday, Henry posted a photo in which he gives the middle finger inside jail. In the snap, he posed topless whilst wearing Nike sliders.
He also uploaded a second topless photo of himself in which he is seen posing with a cheeky grin beside a prison fence.
Henry’s social media followers praised the inmate’s ‘hilarious’ antics and some have even demanded that he get a television show and be given early release.
