Charles, who has been dubbed Britain's most notorious prisoner, is currently serving a life sentence for armed robbery and kidnap.

Despite being locked up, Charles and Paula first began their romance by exchanging letters in 2013 after she read his book Broadmoor: My Journey into Hell. The pair kept in contact and as one thing led to another they tied the knot behind bars in November 2017 in a chapel at HMP Woodhill.

The pair hit a rock patch last year after a photo surfaced of another man's face between Paula's boobs but they seemed to move on from the tough time.

However it's now been reported that their marriage is over after Charles reportedly sent his wife the revealing catsuit outfit to wear to make other inmates jealous.

A source told the Daily Star that despite Paula being "madly in love with him" their turbulent relationship is "over once and for all".

They explained: "She was stunned when he got a friend to send round a catsuit and told her he wanted her to wear it for a prison visit.

“He loves showing his wife off. He’d want the other prisoners to see her in it."
