Romantic Charles Bronson treated his ex-wife to a "luxury" hamper for Christmas - including wine, cheese and chocolate. The infamous lag sent Irene Dunroe the festive gift from inside HMP Woodhill.
Irene, 71, and Bronson, 70, divorced in 1976 but stayed in touch - and met up for the first time in 50 years in August. Irene says Bronson - Britain's most notorious prisoner - wants to rekindle their relationship when he's released.
And he showed his affection this Christmas by sending the hamper - complete with a big gold bow. Mum-of-three Irene, who works in Ann Summers, said she returned home to find the present waiting earlier this week.

She said: "I received his lovely hamper on Wednesday. It's done in a great big gold bow - he's very generous and he always wants to know if I need something.
"He's a gentle giant and wants to make people happy. It had a lovely bottle of red wine, two great big wheels of cheese, chocolate, peanuts, crisps, biscuits, some lovely jams and marmalades and some pickles.
"It was like a lucky dip of luxury stuff!"
Irene, from Brimstage, Merseys., and Bronson met when they were teenagers and married soon after. She said she was taken by his dapper dress sense - and Cockney accent.
Then known as Michael Peterson, Irene still affectionately calls him Mick. They married in 1971 and have a son, also called Michael, now aged 51.
The pair divorced just five years later while Bronson was serving time for armed robbery. Both remarried, Bronson twice and Irene once.
She also had two other children

infamous “sausage fingers” during the coronation earlier this year, a new royal documentary reveals.The monarch’s meaty mitts have been a topic of discussion since the historic occasion, and have often made the King the butt end of the joke on several occasions.But it seems as though there are no hard feelings on his part, as even he joined in on the quips during a conversation with his eldest son and heir to the throne, Prince William.As William uses his hands to close a small clasp holding a lavish robe around his father in the coronation rehearsal, the King’s sense of humor shines through.“On the day, that’s not going to go in,” William can be heard telling Charles, who hilariously references his own hands by responding, “No, you haven’t got sausage fingers like mine.”The funny exchange was captured in the “Charles III: The Coronation Year” documentary, set to air on Dec.
