A prisoner claims to have filmed notorious lag Charles Bronson in what is believed to be the first footage of the inmate in a decade.
Convicted drug dealer Sam Walker has been uploading videos to YouTube while imprisoned in Leeds and later Peterborough.
He has uploaded footage to his channel in the past week, as well as posting on his Twitter account, which has around 19,500 followers.
Walker claims to be filming infamous inmate Bronson in one video, with the serial offender acting coy around the camera.
The caption for the video states 'Big Charlie Bronson becomes camera shy while I video him. All 6ft5ins & 20 stone of him', according to Mail Online .
Bronson, dubbed the 'most violent prisoner in Britain', has spent a total of 45 years behind bars and was the subject of a Hollywood film starring Tom Hardy.
Walker, 36, is building a money-spinning brand from his cell by getting pals to post web videos made inside.
They include violent attacks by other lags and Walker interviewing other cons at category B Leeds prison.
An insider told the Sunday People: “It’s disgusting he could end up profiting from his crime. He’s clearly an attention seeker, desperate to be famous.”
His clips have been viewed thousands of times on YouTube.
YouTube stars make money each time a user plays one of their clips.
Walker, from Liverpool, is believed to have racked up around 63,500 plays.
Experts say users can expect that number to net almost £1,000 from advertisers – although it is not known whether Walker or his associates on the outside have received any cash.
Sources say he has been inspired by stars such as Joe Sugg, who got a lucrative gig on TV’s Strictly Come Dancing after finding fame posting web videos.
A YouTube channel which collects all Walker’s videos has been set up while he serves 33 months.
He was jailed last year on drug and driving charges, plus skipping court by allegedly hiring a private plane to fly to West Africa.
In one video posted on his account a man is badly beaten by other lags.
Walker boasted about his unusual address on his twitter biography, giving it as HMP Leeds, LS12 2TJ. He added: “Someone is posting on my behalf as I can’t post when I’m away.”
Sources at the Ministry of Justice previously told the Sunday People that Walker did not have a phone in his cell.
But hours later, Walker posted a selfie-style video which appeared to have been taken inside.
An MOJ spokesman previously said: “We do not tolerate mobile phones behind bars and are spending an extra £100million on blocking technology, airport-style security and new scanners to stop phones getting in.”
Walker reportedly has at least 45 convictions for 130 offences. His rap sheet includes doing up to 100mph in a BMW in a police chase on Merseyside.
Last February he admitted hiding a mobile phone in his bottom while he was being held at HMP Liverpool.
Two years ago during a brief period of freedom Walker hit the headlines by footing the bill for eight homeless people to spend two nights at a luxury hotel.
He said he collected them from streets around Liverpool city centre.
He added that he wanted to give something back to people in a situation that “we could all find ourselves in at any point”.
