Ferne McCann's ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins has had his jail term extended after he was caught smuggling a mobile phone into prison
Collins, 25, was sentenced to 20 years in prison last month after throwing acid in a packed London nightclub which saw 22 people injured and left 14 people with serious burns.
He was also given an extended licence of five years, and shockingly winked at his family before leaving the courtroom.

He was caught smuggling a mobile phone into prison hidden in his crutches, which he was using after he broke both of his ankles after jumping from a window last April whilst on the run from police for the acid attack.

His defence lawyers argued that he had kept his mobile phone with him so that he could keep in touch with Ferne, who was pregnant at the time.
He'd also hidden two SIM cards and two USB sticks in his crutches, which were all discovered on 10 September by a prison officer who found them while he was showering during a cell search.
His barrister Rebecca Randall said: "His girlfriend at the time was heavily pregnant with his first child.
"That child is now two months old and occasionally visits him with its mother and his sister."
Judge Nicholas Heathcote Williams, sentencing, said: "The presence of a mobile phone or component part such as a SIM card has many implications, not only for the prison establishment, but also the wider environment.
"It provides a prisoner or prisoners with an opportunity to communicate they would otherwise not have.
"This therefore allows them to act in a way prison is supposed to prevent them from doing."
He has now been given a further eight-month prison term to add to his current 25 years, which also adds four months to his earliest possible release date - meaning that the minimum term he will serve at HMP Belmarsh is 13 years and eight months.
Apparently, he showed no emotion as he was sentenced, appearing via video link from the prison.
