Charles Bronson’s ex-soap star wife has claimed the notorious prisoner is a cry baby and has fooled everybody into thinking he’s a ‘hard geezer’ when actually he’s a ‘frail little old man.’
Paula Williamson, 38, married Bronson last year after he proposed to her on Valentine’s Day by serenading with a personalised version of the Frank Sinatra classic ‘My Way.’
But after less than a year, Bronson, 65, vowed to divorce her after a photo emerged of a young man with his head between her breasts during a wild night out in Tenerife.

Now Bronson- who is currently serving time in HMP Frankland, County Durham- has been branded ‘soft’ by his estranged wife.
Paula Williamson, 38, told the Daily Star: ‘Charles Bronson is a liar and a phoney and people need to know the truth.
‘He has thousands of fans who look up to him and think he’s this tough gangster type.
‘Well he’s not this hard geezer – if anything he’s a frail little old man.
‘At his parole hearing he started crying when he found out he’d been turned down. He also blubbed at our wedding – he’s soft.’
She also revealed that Britain’s most notorious inmate is no longer as muscular as he once was.
The 38-year-old added: ‘Charles isn’t buff any more. He’s lost loads of muscle mass and has saggy skin – I’m glad I never had to have sex with him.’
‘I used to visit and spend £20 on lunch in the canteen for him. ‘He’d scoff eight pasties in a row then go back to his cell for dinner.’
Bronson first struck up a relationship with Miss Williamson – who also had roles in Emmerdale and Hollyoaks – back in 2013 after they started writing to one another.
They continued writing while Bronson was engaged to his former partner Lorraine Etherington in 2015.

The former couple finally met for the first time in November 2016 when Williamson visited him in HMP Wakefield.
They married in November last year and walked down the aisle to the Death March.
In April this year Williamson admitted they were facing problems in their marriage, which she said had been rocked by Bronson’s bad behaviour and bizarre demands.
She had reportedly been ordered by Bronson to stay slim by doing 400 sit ups a day as he told her ‘don’t get fat’.
In August, the former Coronation Street star, had an apparent dig at her ex-husband by writing ‘Ya b*****d’ on her arm with pen and drew his famous moustache alongside it.
In recent years Bronson has turned his hand to art and changed his surname from Bronson to Salvador in tribute to the Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali.

Who is Charles Bronson?
Bronson, real name Michael Peterson, was first locked up for armed robbery in 1974, but during his time inside he has taken hostages in 10 prison sieges, attacked at least 20 prison officers and caused £500,000 in damage in rooftop protests.
In 1999 he was given a life sentence after taking prison art teacher Phil Danielson hostage at HMP Hull after he criticised one of his drawings.
Bronson, who does 2,000 press-ups a day, tied a skipping rope round the teacher’s neck and led him about ‘like a dog’ while holding a knife and broken bottle to his throat before releasing him after 44 hours.
