Ferne McCann’s ex-lover is moved to cushy jail after just six years: Acid thug Arthur Collins sent to HMP The Mount where inmates can learn to be baristas

• Collins, 31, has been moved to the prison as a reward for ‘good behaviour’

Ferne McCann’s violent ex-boyfriend has been moved to a cushy new jail as a reward for ‘good behaviour’, it has been reported.

The former TOWIE star, 33, was pregnant with her daughter Sunday when then boyfriend Arthur Collins threw corrosive acid over a crowd on the dance floor at Mangle E8 in Dalston, within weeks of their pregnancy announcement.

He is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after being found guilty of carrying out the brutal acid attack in 2017, leaving 16 people with serious injuries. 

Collins, 31, was previously being held in Category A HMP Woodhill, Milton Keynes, but has since been moved to HMP The Mount in Hertfordshire — which prepares prisoners for release by teaching them barista skills.

A source told The Mirror that Collins was moved to the prison for ‘good behaviour’ after just six years.

They said: ‘This is a quick turnaround for someone given 20 years to be in such a sedate Category C prison. 

‘He will have the opportunity to be involved with making coffee, which is likely to give him a skill on the outside.’

HMP The Mount provides coffee for ‘Redemption Roasters’, which in turn provides the professional barista training in the prison.

The source told The Mirror: ‘The scheme is aimed at readying people for the outside, which might alarm his victims as he should have 14 years of his sentence left.’
