The killer has jobs as a laundry worker, earning £8 a week, a kitchen worker - another £8 a week - and a library worker.
A source told the Mirror: "She gets almost £20 a week, which in prison money is a lot. She buys loads, and loads of junk food. She's put on loads of weight, she's got quite fat, you wouldn't recognise her. It's all put on around her face.
"She was moaning that she's the fattest she's ever been. She weighs 72 kilos [almost 11 stone 5oz] - she's not fat, but fat for her, you know as she was really, really skinny."

Mum on death row for killing husband as son watched has 'disgusting' hobby
A British mum is languishing on death row, facing execution by hanging, for the murder of her husband after allegedly drugging his biryani and slitting his throat in front of their nine-year-old son. Ramandeep Kaur Mann, from Derby, was convicted of conspiring with her lover to kill her husband Sukhjit Singh, 34, while they were on holiday in 2016 with their two children, according to the Daily Mail. The judge at her trial at Shahjahanpur District Court determined Mann slit Sukhjit's throat after he fell into a deep sleep - aided by her lover Gurpeet Singh. The gruesome crime is believed to have been driven by financial motives. Prior to his death, Mann had taken out a £2million life insurance policy for her husband and was also set to inherit his property. Mann was found guilty in October 2023, with her son's testimony proving pivotal. Her lawyers are now arguing that her son was 'coached' to provide false evidence that he witnessed the murder, reports the Mirror. Mann's legal team has initiated an appeal with a document alleging that Arjun - now aged 18 - was supposedly instructed what to say by his grandmother Bans Kaur - Sukhjit's mother and Mann's mother-in-law. The Daily Mail reports that the document also alleges collusion with police and relatives to concoct the case against her. Mann has consistently denied committing the murder. She claims she was set up by her husband's family who, she claims, were the actual murderers of Sukhjit as they wanted to stop him from selling land he owned in India. Gurpreet Singh was said to be the killer's lover Currently detained at Shahjahanpur District Jail in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, Mann is sharing dormitory-style accommodation with 55 other female inmates. Since her imprisonment, Mann has begun painting and her appeal emerges as fresh images show her displaying her creations whilst meeting local dignitaries, as her standing as an artist grows increasingly recognised. She encountered local officials who toured the jail earlier this year to commemorate India's Republic Day, just weeks following Mann's participation in a Christmas showcase of her prison artwork. Charity representatives have also visited Mann to observe her creations, which include a vibrant array of sketches and paintings, though not everyone welcomes the development of Mann's newfound artistic abilities. Bans Kaur, Sukhjit's mother, told MailOnline: "She does not deserve any applause and has no right to celebrate Christmas or any other occasion while I continue to suffer. I will be speaking to the jail officials about this. For the sins that she has committed, she should be suffering in a cell not being given a chance to paint and have a comfortable life. "She is a cunning and evil woman, and I don't believe for one minute she has changed. This [her art] is all being done for her appeal against the death sentence and is an attempt to win favour with the jail authorities. It's absolutely disgusting. "It's ludicrous to suggest that I 'coached' Arjun and got him to lie. He gave a very lengthy statement which had a lot of detail in it. How could we have got him to fabricate all this? How can you instruct any teenager what to say? We will be contesting this appeal because there is no doubt that this woman murdered my son. "I will battle to the end to secure justice for my son because what this woman did is unforgivable. I don't care how skilled she is at art or what a model prisoner she has become because it means nothing." Following his mother's conviction, Arjun told MailOnline he did not regret testifying against Mann and that he wanted to watch her hang. He said he witnessed his mother suffocate his father with a pillow before her lover Gurpreet hit Sukhjit in the head with a hammer and Mann then cut her husband's throat.

Prince William and Prince Harry's cousin, 20, found dead next to gun
A young relative of Princes William and Harry was tragically found deceased with a firearm by her side, as revealed at an inquest on Sunday. Rosie Roche, aged 20 and a granddaughter of Princess Diana's uncle, was discovered dead by her mother and sister on July 14. A firearm was located near her at the family residence in Wiltshire, where she had been preparing for a holiday with friends. At the inquest hearing at Wiltshire and Swindon coroner's court, area coroner Grant Davies confirmed that the police "have deemed the death as non-suspicious and there was no third-party involvement". At the time of her passing, Rosie was pursuing an English Literature degree at Durham University. A university spokeswoman expressed that she "will be sorely missed". The inquest has been postponed until October 25, reports the Mirror. The sad news of Ms Roche's passing follows the death of Thomas Kingston, who wed Harry and William's cousin Lady Gabriella in 2019. He passed away in February last year at the age of 45, with a firearm found beside him. Princess Diana and her Aunt Mary Roche (centre) - Rosie's grandmother. (Image: PA) The financier had sustained a "traumatic head wound", and a gun was discovered near his body in an outbuilding at his parents' home in the Cotswolds, according to an initial inquest at Gloucestershire Coroners Court. Police have concluded that his death was not suspicious. Despite having no apparent relationship or financial issues, as a family friend told The Times, another close friend mentioned that Mr Kingston always prioritised others, potentially to the detriment of his own mental well-being. The ex-financier, an alumnus of Bristol University with a degree in economic history, survived several life-threatening incidents, including a notorious suicide bombing at a church in 2004 that took 22 lives. Reverend Canon Andrew White, who managed the sole Anglican church in Baghdad, Iraq, and where Mr Kingston is said to have served as a hostage negotiator, recounted: "We couldn't move, and I can remember saying 'What do we do Tom?'". "And he said, 'Pray'. I said, 'Lord, have mercy on us' and suddenly a huge oil tanker about 25 metres ahead of us blew up. If we hadn't been in the traffic jam, we would have been killed instantly. But this was a kind of daily thing that happened." Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest news from the Irish Mirror direct to your inbox: Sign up here.
