Britain’s worst intercourse beasts ‘licking their lips’ at likelihood to get fingers on Russell Brand

Britain’s worst sex offenders are “licking their lips” at the prospect of getting their hands on Russell Brand behind bars, its claimed. Prison insiders have warned the convicted rapist that he will need to “look over his shoulder constantly” as there will be a “bounty on his head.”

The sicko comedian was said to be ‘petrified’ as he spent his first night in jail after being found guilty of rape and sexual assault following a lengthy trial on Thursday (November 5).

Brand is believed to be being held in HMP Belmarsh – a high-security Category A men’s prison in Thamesmead, south-east London – ahead of his sentencing on Monday.

The notorious nick has held some of the UK’s most infamous criminals, terrorists, and high-profile figures including Ian Huntley, Charles Bronson and Lee Rigby’s killer Michael Adebolajo.

Brand was kept secluded in his holding cell after being placed on remand – and his nightmare is far from over.

A prison source said: “This is a man notorious for taking the mick out of people.

“He has built a career on laughing about women, his sex life, and he is a predator. Nothing more, nothing less.

“But like with any famous face that gets a long sentence, he will be a celebrity behind bars too – and not in a good way.

“Prisoners will be licking their lips at getting their hands on Brand once he is settled in. There will absolutely be a bounty on his head.

“Many will try to be friends with him, but there’s a lot of dark people behind bars and a lot of people wanting to make a name for themselves here.

“What better way to gain notoriety yourself than hitting headlines as the person who hurts Russell Brand? He is going to have to watch his back.”

Brand will be assigned a specific jail after his sentencing at Southwark Crown Court on Monday.

Describing his first night in a cramped cell, the insider claimed: “It was not a pleasant experience, obviously it is not meant to be. But he was given one call of a couple of minutes and that was it.

“It will be a very short sharp shock to him, that this is now his life for the forseeable future.

“He was kept segregated last night and today, and to be honest, probably will for the whole weekend.

“Nothing can happen to him before that sentencing date, that would not look good on the prison service. To be honest he’s lucky that he will be seen on Monday, that’s a pretty quick turn around for court cases.

“It will mean he is no mans land for less time. But this weekend will not be nice for him. He will no doubt be absolutely terrified, and with good reason.”

It is understood that Brand is set to have a mental health review today (Friday, November 6) to ensure that he is not a danger to himself or others.

“He will be being treated as a vulnerable prisoner right now,” the insider continued. “Round the clock watching, he is a prisoner of interest and I don’t think that will be being downgraded any time soon. He is a wanted man, on the outside and the inside.

“It will be a bleak few weeks for him while he acclimatises and that is the most dangerous time for most newly incarcerated prisoners.”
