Ferne McCann‘s ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins has allegedly struck up a romance with Love Island star Amelia Peters.
Arthur, 32 is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after being found guilty of carrying out a nightclub acid attack in 2017, leaving 16 people with serious injuries.
He was recently moved to HMP Buckley Hall in Rochdale where he is said to have been visited by Amelia frequently.
A source told The Sun: ‘Amelia has made no secret of her relationship with Arthur and has told her friends she’s mad about him and thinks he’s the one.
‘She says she thinks Arthur is a changed man.
‘Some of her mates are worried about her getting involved with him but Amelia won’t listen.’

Arthur was in an on/off relationship with Ferne for a year after meeting in 2016. She was pregnant with their daughter when he carried out the acid attack
Arthur is said to have a phone in prison that he uses to talk to Amelia ‘all the time’.
It is illegal to possess a phone in prison. If found guilty, the maximum penalty is a further two years imprisonment and/or a fine.
In 2018, Arthur was jailed for another eight months for using a smuggled mobile phone to call his reality TV star ex-girlfriend Ferne from his cell.
Amelia, 26, hinted at romance last month on Arthur’s birthday when she posted a picture of a bouquet of red roses with the letter ‘A’ above.
She wrote on the Instagram snap: ‘Happy birthday to the most handsome pain in the a**e, Love you x.’
A separate source told The Sun that Amelia and Arthur are simply ‘family friends’.
MailOnline has contacted HMP Buckley Hall and Amelia for comment.
Former teaching assistant Amelia appeared on season three of Love Island – which was ultimately won by Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies.
She entered the show as a Casa Amor bombshell but failed to couple up and was dumped from the island after just two days.
At the time, she was the youngest star to have ever appeared on the show, entering the villa aged 18.

Businesswoman Annie Jane, who presented an adult show on Babestation for 11 years, confirmed the couple’s engagement on Instagram, telling friends and family ‘I said yes’ while sharing a tattoo of Arthur’s name she has inked on her stomach.
A source close to Annie told MailOnline: ‘Arthur and Annie met prior to his prison sentencing through mutual friends.
‘They plan on getting married while he’s still behind bars later this year after dating for the past six months.
‘Annie is aware of Arthur’s past but is prepared to commit herself to him, even getting a tattoo of his name to prove her love.
‘They have a lot in common; Annie also has a young daughter, and believes the pair connect on a spiritual level.
‘They fell in love after writing to each other and talking through prison visits and Annie believes Arthur is truly sorry for everything that happened.
‘Annie has done a lot for Arthur’s rehabilitation, she feels they’re soul mates, and together they are looking forward to the future and one day having a family life of their own.’
