Britain’s most notorious prion inmate, Charles Bronson, appears to be moving on from his soap-star wife, Paula Williamson – with Simon Cowell’s ex.
Charles has started writing letters to model Jasmine Lennard, and the pair have apparently developed a strong friendship.

Charles is divorcing Paula, after seeing risqué pictures of her on a wild night out in Tenerife.
Paula initially brushed off the incident, taking to Twitter to insist it was no big deal.
“This was banter and having laugh,” she said. “Charlie would bd[sic] surprised if I didn’t! He knows an[sic] a flirt and loves mr[sic] for it!”
But Charles took the night out seriously, and elected to end his marriage, announcing his decision in a statement that was read out on Loose Women.
“Paula has disrespected me, my mum and most of all herself. I can’t accept that kind of behaviour from someone supposed to be my wife,” he said.
“She also has a drink and prescription drug problem, which makes her do crazy things, and I can’t be involved with somebody like that.”
In discussing the divorce on Loose Women, Paula admitted that her relationship with alcohol and drugs impaired her judgement and said she was determined to get help.
“I am upset, I have lost family,” she said. “But I have learnt my lesson. I want a life, now I am free, to go and find someone.”
And now Bronson seems to have found a new target for his affections – writing to model Jasmine, who reportedly dated Simon Cowell for six months in 2006.
The 33-year-old model has no idea where he got her address, but has written back, establishing a friendship with the felon, according to The Sun.
She’s also apparently set herself up in opposition to Paula – responding on Twitter to the former Corrie extra’s posts.

Paula expressed her heartbreak on Twitter, saying: “I can’t reply to any messages but my thanks for the lovely supportive ones. I’m broken. Don’t ever take love for granted x.”
Jasmine replied simply “You’re broken?! LOL [expletive] take.”
She also claimed that Paula was simply looking for attention, tweeting: “D’you not think you’ve caused both him and yourself enough embarrassment?
“Shut your trap. You have no respect. Every move you make is clearly motivated by a desperate need for oxygen of publicity. The interest is in him not you. No one cares about you. You can be gone now. Bye.”
Charles and Paula married last November after dating for five months.
