FUNERAL CROOK STOLE

A THREE-foot-tall convicted burglar amassed 62,000 online followers in 48 hours after posting jokey videos from inside jail.

Aiden Henry became an online sensation when prison stunts recorded on illegal mobile phones went viral. In one video, the 28-year-old – dubbed Britain’s smallest prisoner – dives into a bin bag filled with icy water as fellow lags laugh uncontroll­ably.

Others feature Henry, currently serving a 32-month sentence for burglary, boasting about his muscles, grinding suggestive­ly and posting topless selfies from inside his cell.

His Instagram page, called @littleman_in_ sauce, gained 52,000 followers in two days with celebritie­s including Lethal Bizzle.

It had a further 10,000 followers before being shut down on Tuesday – only to be restarted under a slightly different name yesterday.

In one video – which racked up 164,000 views and was captioned “Someone line up a big batty gal for me” – Henry grinds suggestive­ly as a stereo blasts music.

The person filming the clip repeatedly shows off a diamond-encrusted watch on his wrist.

Followers were quick to comment. on@mrselfie said: “These guys having more fun in jail than I’m having on road”.

@Nilepowerr­ranger demanded: “TV SHOW WHEN U TOUCH ROAD”.

Henry hit the headlines in November last year when a video appeared of him threatenin­g to rape WBO middleweig­ht champion Billy Joe Saunders. The tiny inmate, from London, was banged up for 32 months last November for burglary at a property in Rugby, Warwicks.

It is understood the latest page was shut down after authoritie­s were alerted.

On his newest account, Henry said: “Back up account f *** the Feds (police) HMP.”
