But lags ensured he came to no harm at privately run HMP Forest Bank in Salford, Gtr Manchester.
A source told The Sun: 'Sometimes people will be targeted if other inmates know they have money, but they looked after him instead.
'They know he's famous and also American so not really aware of how prisons work over here.
'He had no treats so all he could do was order the basic food you're offered. When it was lock up at night-time, some of them were shouting, 'Sing us a song Chris!'.'

Brown also wrote and signed a note to an inmate called Dave before he was released on £5million bail on Wednesday.
It read: 'To Dave, Thank you my brother, I appreciate everything you've done for me while I've been banged up. Keep being a good person. God sees all and he sees your heart. You'll be home soon my bro. Cheers!!'
Brown was arrested at 2am last Thursday at Manchester's Lowry Hotel.
He was sent to jail the following day after a magistrate rejected his bail request.
The singer faces trial after being charged with committing grievous bodily harm to music producer Abe Diaw in February 2023.
He is alleged to have attacked Mr Diaw in London nightclub Tape with a bottle.

Yesterday, fans were camped outside the Lowry hoping to catch a glimpse of him.
Brown and Akinlolu are due to formally enter pleas at London's Southwark crown court on June 20.

HAIM respond to Glastonbury Festival 2025 rumours:
The group will be in the United Kingdom for the Dreamland Summer Series in Margate on June 27. Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... HAIM have addressed the rumours that they 'could' perform at Glastonbury Festival 2025. The discussion arose during an interview on BBC Radio 2 overnight with Jo Whiley. The band, however, merely stated that they would be 'in the area' around the time of the festival. One of the more persistent rumours alongside Pulp performing a secret set at Glastonbury Festival later this month is that of the potential that HAIM 'could' fill one of the secret slots. Whether it be the sisters performing under the pseudonym Patchwork, or perform one of the litany of TBA slots revealed since the launch of the official timetable, many believe that the group - who last performed at Glastonbury in 2022 - are going to make an appearance. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad To finish off the UK leg of their 'I quit' tour, American rock band Haim will play the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on Friday, October 31. | Getty Images for Prime Video So when the band appeared on Jo Whiley's BBC Radio 2 show earlier this week (June 10 2025), the question was brought up by the host, with HAIM responding in cryptic fashion. 'Well, we're playing Margate,' Este explained, before the sisters would suggest that they 'shall be in the area.' When asked what their favourite stage at Glastonbury is to play on, Alana responded 'We love the Park Stage. The Park Stage is our favourite (because) that was like the first time we came to Glastonbury (...) it felt like a movie.' She continued: 'It was like 'What is going on? How did we get here, and also just like - you never forget the first time you step onto the farm. It's the most insane feeling, I think, that you'll ever have.'

Love Island viewers ‘get second hand embarrassment' as two boys make horrifying blunder – did you spot it?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island viewers cringed for two boys last night and accused them of making a horrifying blunder. It followed a genius twist introduced by Maya Jama on launch night. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 The Love Islanders were thrown in at the deep end on day one Credit: Eroteme 4 A shock twist saw three lads standing for Shakira Credit: Eroteme 4 Harry was picked by Shakira - sending Sophie home Credit: Eroteme She announced the show's first ever American bombshell and immediately gave her the power to steal a boy. Las Vegas VIP waitress Toni swiped Ben - leaving Burnley lass Shakira single. Shakira then had 24 hours to make a new connection or be dumped from the island. If Shakira could convince a boy to split from his partner she'd be saved. When Maya Jama returned to the villa, three lads said they were willing to leave their couple and stood up for Shakira. Harry, Conor and Blu all threw their hat in the ring. But Conor, Helena's partner, and Blu, who is in a couple up with Alima, had to awkwardly sit back down. Taking to X, one viewer said: "It must be so awkward to have stood up and not get chosen… the second hand embarrassment is crazy." A second echoed: "Imagine having to sit back down next to the girl u just publicly said you'd dump after not getting chosen pmsl." And a third said: "No because the thought of the boys that don't get picked having to sit back down acting like nothing has happened." Love Island fans name show's real villain branding them 'rotten to the core' - blonde Meg during the divided girls chat The ITV2 show beauties were left worried last night when Shakira confessed she was interested in "everyone". Shakira, 22, ruffled feathers with her antics. She pulled Dejon - who is coupled up with Meg - for a chat first. Shakira then wasted no time and asked Harry for a chat on the terrace and things quickly turned flirty. Shakira teases: 'Haza you little minx!' Harry then replies: 'It's day two come on let's keep it PG.' Putting the effort in to find a new connection, Shakira then pulled Conor for a chat and he told her: 'You surprised me, you came in with massive energy, but I feel like you're not like that, you're chill and smart.' Shakira admitted: 'I love the Irish accent, it's sexy! I've never dated an Irish guy.' She also caught up with Blu telling him: 'I think it's good cause it gives everyone a kick up the bum…I think you've got a good vibe…you're very calming and I don't have to put on a bravado.' Their flirty banter came after fans had called for the lad to be kicked out - and his partner saved. Shakira's effort didn't stop there as she also pulled Tommy by the pool telling him: 'I think it's best I try to get to know everyone.'

Disney+ deal cuts subscription price to £1.99 - but you'll need to act fast
Disney+ deal cuts subscription price to £1.99 - but you'll need to act fast The Disney+ deal is available to both new and returning customers, but won't be around for long - here's everything you need to know including how to get the offer The streamer has brought back it's cheaper price (Image: Getty ) Disney+ has reintroduced a highly sought-after streaming deal, offering subscriptions for £1.99. The streaming giant has launched a 'limited-time promotion' that provides a 60% saving compared to the regular price. The offer lets new and returning customers subscribe to Disney+ Standard with Ads for £1.99 a month, a deal which will last for four months. Ordinarily, this would amount to £19.96 in total, but it's currently available for only £7.96 – a saving of £12. However, this bargain won't be available indefinitely and is set to finish on June 30. Following the four-month promotional period, Disney+ Standard with Ads will automatically renew at the prevailing monthly retail price unless cancelled. This deal puts Disney+ as the cheapest big streaming site, even when compared to the lowest subscription tiers of Netflix (£5.99), Amazon's Prime Video (£5.99) and Apple TV+ (£8.99). The timing of this offer coincides with an exciting summer schedule of new and returning films and series, headlined by the Disney blockbuster Snow White, which is currently available for streaming. Other releases slated for this summer include Marvel's Ironheart (June 25), season four of The Bear (June 26) and the new prequel series Alien: Earth (August 13). These additions will further enrich an already extensive library featuring recent hits and critically acclaimed series such as Andor, Welcome to Wrexham, Rivals, Only Murders in the Building and Shōgun, reports the Mirror. Get Disney+ for £1.99 a month £1.99 Disney+ Buy Here Product Description Disney+ has brought back its popular deal that lets new and returning customers join its Standard with Ads plan for £1.99 per month for four months. For £1.99, subscribers can access a wealth of entertaining content, including Stolen Girl, Good American Family, and the second season of the hit reality show, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. While some may worry about ads disrupting their viewing experience, Disney+ has limited commercials to an average of less than four minutes per hour, fewer than traditional TV broadcasts. Additionally, ads are only shown before a movie begins, not during the actual screening. Those willing to commit to a full year upfront on the Standard or Premium plan will essentially receive two months free. By opting for an annual subscription, users can enjoy 12 months of access for the price of 10, saving up to £25.98 in the process. This upgrade also includes superior video quality, with up to 4K UHD and HDR, as well as the ability to stream on four devices at once. Members of Disney+ have expressed their satisfaction with the service on Trustpilot, with one reviewer stating: "Offering a fantastic and constantly updated collection." Another fan raved about the addition of new content, stating: "I love Disney+. I'm a Star Wars and Marvel fan but since the addition of Starz it boosted my love, there's even more content for adults now that's worth it all round." Article continues below However, this same reviewer felt the service fell slightly short, commenting: "The only reason it didn't get five stars is Disney are not using their other brands in the subscription. If they did this, it could easily be the best subscription service ever, but there is much more content locked behind their own service." Yet another glowing five-star review reads: "Good servers, good services, this nostalgia when watching old cartoons from TV. The subscription is really cheap compared to other streaming services."
