Charles Bronson’s ex-lapdancer fiancee confesses her £500-a-night escort past – but he’s ‘proud as punch’
CHARLES Bronson's soap actress fiancée has confessed all about her £500-a-night escort past to the notorious lag who told her he's "proud as punch".
Paula Williamson said she revealed all about her seven years in the business to the man dubbed Britain's most violent prisoner during one the couple's four meetings at HMP Wakefield.
Paula, who once played a stripper in Emmerdale, said poverty forced her into the sex industry after she graduated from drama school insisting she has never take handouts to pay her way.
But, she also revealed that it led to some "dark times".
She insisted her time in the industry is behind her saying: “I might pole dance again but it will be in the house I live in with Charlie! He’s obsessed with keeping fit."
Paula didn't reveal the truth about her past during her three years of writing to Bronson because she wanted to tell him in person.
Paula revealed that ahe started working as a pole dancer, moving on to lap dancing and then becoming a high-class escort.
Her revelations didn't stop Bronson, 64, proposing on Valentine's Day with a personalised rendition of Frank Sinatra's My Way.
The pair are planning a prison wedding "sooner rather than later" as Paula campaigns for Bronson's release from prison.
Sun Online exclusively revealed that Paula has launched a petition pleading for her hardman sweetheart to be given the chance to prove he is a changed man.
The petition reads: "On Valentine's day 2017 I got engaged to the love of my life, he's known to the world as 'the most dangerous prisoner in Britain' but the reality of the real man couldn't be further from that heinous title.
"Charlie is a kind and caring man of 64 years of age who bears little or no resemblance to the 'Bronson' image portrayed in the media.
The Sun Online revealed yesterday the piece of art created by smitten Bronson and given to Miss Williamson, complimenting her body and boasting about his upcoming marriage to her.
Bronson, who now goes by the name Charles Salvador, writes: "Paula's got the body of an angel."
He writes: "How f***ing lucky am I?", before adding: "She said I'm her apple pie and custard" and "Didn't I do well? What a bootiful bum."
The portrait shows Bronson in a straight jacket and appearing to scream, with a mouse on his shoulder and a bird resting on his ear.
He also appears to be wearing a bandanna which has the word "Salvador" - the name Bronson prefers to go by - written on it.
Above his head are the words: "Born to love an angel."
The prisoner, who was originally imprisoned for armed robbery but has had his sentence extended repeatedly due to prison violence, also writes in the piece: "I'm an artist, not a gangster."
The former bare knuckle fighter proposed to Paula, who has also appeared in Coronation Street, on Valentine's Day.
Bronson, who is trying to reinvent his hardman image, also recently raised £1,650 for brave cancer battler Bradley Lowery, by getting pals of his to auction off other artwork.
The five-year-old’s terminal cancer plight has touched the hearts of millions, including Britain’s most famous lag.
He got pals to auction off the detailed piece, which took a week to pen and gives an insight into Bronson’s life behind bars.
And in an accompanying photograph of himself, Bronson wrote: “Come on you lovely people. Dig deep in those pockets.
"Let’s sort Bradley out.”
The youngster’s family received another original artwork from Bronson in December, along with a Christmas card.
Supporters estimate Bronson has raised some £250,000 for good causes and have told how he has also written an open letter to young people pleading with them not to follow his lead.
Paula appeared on television earlier this week insisting the romance is not a sham and telling ITV's Loose Women she wanted to have his baby.
