He has sent her bouquets and she visits him in prison regularly, it is said.
A source added: 'They talk all the time — despite the fact he's in jail.
"He's got a phone they speak on and he's sent her flowers a number of times.'
Possessing a phone in jail is an offence and can lead to a loss of privileges or a longer sentence. Collins got an extra eight months in 2018 for smuggling a phone into jail.
His fresh antics emerged after The Sun on Sunday revealed that scheming lag Collins had a 'steroid' injected into his bottom in his cell.
The would-be Romeo was dating Towie's Ferne McCann in 2017 when he threw acid in the Mangle E8 club in Dalston, East London — leaving 16 people with chemical burns.
Collins planned to marry Annie Bull in 2022 after romancing her from his cell. He proposed during a visit, after which she had his name tattooed under her boobs.
Now Amelia, on Love Island in 2017, has fallen under his spell.
On his birthday last month, she posted on her Instagram an image of red roses with the letter 'A' above them.
She wrote: 'Happy birthday to the most handsome pain in the arse, Love you x.'

Our source went on: '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.'
Another source, close to Amelia, tried to downplay talk of a romance and said: 'She's visited Arthur but he is a family friend.'
Meanwhile, Collins has been transferred from The Mount Prison in Herts — where the injection footage was taken — amid fears he was scheming to import drugs using drones.
An anti-corruption team has found illicit items at his new home, HMP Buckley Hall, near Rochdale.
A source said: 'He's in trouble constantly and doesn't seem to care.
"He goes around like the big 'I am' as if he rules the roost.'

Gareth Bale stuns nation with bid to buy football team close to his heart
Gareth Bale has confirmed he is leading a consortium that is interested in buying Cardiff City and wants to be "part of growing the club" Gareth Bale has confirmed his role in leading a consortium with the aim of purchasing Cardiff City, expressing his desire to elevate his boyhood club back to the Premier League. The Welsh football icon shared his grand vision while attending the premiere of F1 The Movie, marking the first time he's spoken publicly about his intentions to acquire the Bluebirds. It emerged last week through Wales Online that Bale's consortium had made an offer to Cardiff owner Vincent Tan, which was turned down. Since then, speculation has been rife that Bale's public association with the bid could signal that another attempt is in the pipeline. Bale, who hung up his boots earlier this year after a spell at LAFC, remains optimistic about the consortium's chances of striking a deal. "We are interested in getting Cardiff," Bale declared. He said: "It's my home club, it's where I grew up and my uncle [Chris Pike] used to play for them. To be involved with an ownership group would be a dream come true. "It's a club close to my heart. It's where I grew up and I would love to be able to be a part of growing Cardiff and taking it to the Premier League where it belongs. "I know how amazing the Welsh fans and Cardiff fans are. It would be amazing to try and do something together." Gareth Bale has hinted at future involvement with Cardiff City, saying: "We are trying to engage with Cardiff and more news will come out on that in the future but hopefully we can get something done." The Welsh football legend's interest in Cardiff follows his ex-Real Madrid and Tottenham colleague Luka Modrić's becoming a co-owner of Swansea. Previously, there were whispers of Bale potentially investing in Plymouth Argyle, but that prospect seems to have fizzled out. Cardiff, who were recently demoted to League One for the first time since 2003, have now welcomed Brian Barry-Murphy as their new head coach. Bale, a towering figure in Welsh football, boasts a record 111 caps for his country and stands as the top scorer with 41 goals. His illustrious playing days included hoisting the Champions League trophy multiple times with Real Madrid and propelling Wales to two Euros and their first World Cup appearance since 1958. Now retired from the pitch, Bale is looking to leave a legacy beyond his playing career, potentially starting with Cardiff City, the place where his remarkable journey kicked off.

He wrote: "Yesterday, I took my 1st (hopefully last) ambulance ride for the 1st time in 44years. "That being said, this isn't a pitty post but I have some unfortunate news that I would have preferred to be private about, but, as a performer I have to be transparent to my fans who are expecting to see me at several upcoming events Im scheduled for. "For a few weeks now I was having some stomach issues that was causing me pain & discomfort. "I thought it was due to me excessively eating some foods I don't normally eat. So, I cleaned up my diet and thought it was business as usual. "As days went on, I just tolerated the pain and went on about my normal life of training hard,Weights in the morning, Conditioning in the afternoon etc." Ric Flair diagnosed with skin cancer as WWE legend, 76, reveals heartbreaking news However, the star admitted that the pain became too much to bear and some of the other symptoms started getting worse. He continued: "On Thursday night of this week I felt pretty rough physically, like I had a virus. "I spent the night with terrible hot/cold flashes, sweating profusely, head pounding, and some vomiting. "I toughed it out all night, and by Friday morning, I felt much better. So I decided to rest most of the day and rehydrate,etc. We went to the ER. After some test, ER informed me that it was very good that I came in and didn't wait longer. Luke Hawx "Saturday morning, I woke up with some discomfort but decided to crush a workout the gym. "As the day went on, my wife asked to go to the Dr because she wasn't comfortable with how I was feeling and how long I was feeling that way for. "I obviously argued against it and told her I was fine and it would go away eventually. She asked me to call one of my Dr friends to get their opinion, so I did that." He added:"My friend said he suggested I go get looked at asap, so I knew that was probably best and safest even though I wanted to continue to tough it out. 5 "We went to the ER. After some test, ER informed me that it was very good that I came in and didn't wait longer. "Then they informed me that I needed to go into Surgery and I wouldn't be going home. I was honestly heartbroken to hear this news." "I quickly called to my surgeon, who is a good friend of mine and he jumped on it right away. A few hours later, I was in Surgery. Surgery was successful and I am now recovering." Dwayne Johnson's fortune explained The wrester-turned movie star is worth a whole lot of money. Dwayne Johnson's net worth has increased substantially since he began his acting career in 2001. At the time, he had a net worth of $2M (around £3M today). Now 21 years later, his net worth has increased to an estimated $800M (£626M). Dwayne's initial wealth came from competing in wrestling tournaments, with him earning $1million in 1999 (around £1.5M today). However, his bank balance is now boosted by his acting career, TV appearances, merchandise, and his newly founded tequila company. He launched his spirit brand, Teremana tequila, in 2020 and oversaw the development of the product while it was made in Mexico. "It took 113 distillations to get to this point," he said in his May 2021 interview on The Today Show. "Everything is handcrafted, handmade.

Love Island fans fume over 'missing' Islanders as four new bombshells arrive
Love Island viewers have wanted to see more of Alima's relationship with Remell and are complaining that they have only been shown on screen tonight just as their relationship was put in jeopardy Love Island viewers are demanding answers after fan-favourite couple Alima Gagigo and Remell Mullins were only given screen time tonight (June 23) because their relationship was about to be threatened by new bombshells. Viewers have claimed that their blossoming romance is being ignored by the camera crew, and were left fuming tonight that it took a threat to Alima's connection for her and Remell to finally have one of their chats aired. One person took to social media complaining: " Love Island producers YOU WILL CRUMBLEEEE. Remell is talking about potentially making Alima his girlfriend. AND WE'VE SEEN NONE OF IT!!!" Another gushed: "FINALLLYYYYY ALIMA CONTENT! Love Island you will CRUMBLE for how you've had us starved." Fans were first introduced to Remell earlier in the series came into the villa alongside fellow bombshell Shea Mannings. During a spicy game of dares, sparks flew between Remell and Alima after she was dared to kiss the boy she'd couple up with. She chose Remell, and later admitted she felt an instant attraction to him, which he agreed was mutual. They did have an initial bump in the road when Remell was dared to reveal a juicy secret, and admitted that he once slept with five people in one night. Alima seemed stunned by his confession, and in the Beach Hut later said: "This is the first time that he's walking into a villa like with new people. You then go and say that you've slept with five people in a night. I'm like, why would you say that?" Despite their rocky start, things turned a corner for the couple and tonight Remell was even seen declaring that if things continue in this vein, he would consider taking his relationship with Alima to the next level and potentially asking her to be his girlfriend. However, viewers have made frustrated claims that the pair have been sidelined in recent episodes of the dating show. They became even more irritated when show bosses finally aired a brief scene between the pair right before one of the new bombshells chose to go on a date with Remell. One fan hit out: "Oh yeah of course they gave them screen time just for the bombshell to choose Remell. Love Island UK count your days." Another added: "Nah Love Island producers have absolutely mocked it by not showing us any Remell & Alima scenes… no idea how they are even progressing until a recoupling speech??" Some even said that Alima will only get screen time on the show if there is drama in her relationship, sighing: "I bet you if Remell likes any of these bombshells they will put Alima's face on the Love Island ITV banner because she'll be in problems. But while she's happy, she's furniture."
