Bronson in love triangle ...from his cell

Superlag wooed Gemma as he wrote love letters to ex

NOTORIOUS prisoner Charles Bronson wooed TWO women from his cell at the same time – including former wife Irene.

Bronson, 70, grew close to 30-something former model Gemma Fernandez, as the Sunday Mirror revealed in February.

They enjoyed prison meetings. But he was also sharing twiceweekl­y letters and daily calls with first wife Irene Dunroe – a former Ann Summers saleswoman and mum to his son Mike, 49.

Bronson, who calls himself Charles Salvador, has now written to Irene to say he and Gemma have split. He also talked of a “lovely” trip with Irene if he gets parole.

Irene, who reveals she has a pair of garden gnomes depicting her and Bronson, tells us: “I had no idea I was in a love triangle with somebody called Gemma.

“I thought she ran his Free Charles Salvador web page. As for love triangles, there isn’t one now. “He and Gemma aren’t together.” Bronson’s note to Irene said: “I’ll get a motor chauffeur and we will have a whole day out. Seaside.

Country. Spoil ourselves. Even book into a nice hotel for the weekend. Just a lovely, happy time.

“Do us good! Catch up on life. It’s bloody mental how after all this time how close we are. You can’t make it up Irene!

“I’m no longer with Gemma. We split. Romance and prison don’t mix. It’s two different worlds. I believe in freeing ones you love.”

ATTACKS

Bronson and Irene married in 1972. and divorced in 1977. He wed twice more during nearly 50 years in jail. He was jailed for armed robbery in 1974 but added to his seven-year sentence with a string of attacks on prisoners and guards.

Currently at HMP Woodhill, Bucks, Bronson is due for a parole hearing soon. Irene, who refers to him by his birth name Mick Peterson, adds: “The man I loved wasn’t the notorious Charles

Bronson, he is Mick – a great dad and loving husband. He has turned his back on crime and it’s time he was freed.

“I’ve two gnomes in the garden that represent our relationsh­ip – Mick’s is wearing glasses and I’m next to him with a glass of wine.

“He thinks they are great. He said recently you never forget your first love, which I think is true. He also told me he dreamt we remarried. I wonder, will we or won’t we?”

Irene has a new book out about their relationsh­ip. She says he kept her in the dark about his criminalit­y for years before owning up.

And Irene, 70, adds: “He later told me that every time he went out to do a robbery, he wore a pair of my knickers to bring him luck.”

Gemma was approached

for comment.

»My heartfelt sympathy goes to Manchester United footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodriguez, who tragically lost their baby son during childbirth.

They were expecting twins, but only their little girl survived.

Ronaldo’s statement read:

“It is the greatest pain any parents can feel.”

His love for both his nuclear and extended family is clear to see on his social media feeds.

This terrible loss will be felt by all his fans, and all those others who have lost a child.
