Just when you think the world of celebrity relationships couldn’t get more tangled, Arthur Collins—yes, the same Arthur Collins currently serving a 20-year sentence—has allegedly found love again.
And this time, it’s with Love Island alum Amelia Peters.
Despite being locked away, that hasn’t stopped the drama, intrigue, and whispers of romance.
Who Is Amelia Peters and Why Is She Visiting Arthur?
Amelia Peters, known for her brief appearance on Love Island Season 3, is at the center of these latest headlines.
The 26-year-old former teaching assistant reportedly visits Arthur Collins regularly at HMP Buckley Hall, the prison where he’s now being held.
According to insiders who spoke with The Sun, Amelia hasn’t tried to hide her affection for Arthur.
She’s been telling close friends that she’s “crazy about him” and believes he’s changed for the better.
Not everyone’s convinced, though—some of her pals are seriously worried.
But apparently, Amelia is tuning out the concerns and following her heart.
A Birthday Message That Sparked Rumors
The romance speculation really took off last month, when Amelia shared an Instagram Story on Arthur’s birthday.
She posted a bouquet of red roses, placing the letter “A” prominently above the flowers.
Alongside the snap, she wrote, “Happy birthday to the most handsome pain in the a**e. Love you x.”
If subtlety was the goal, well… that ship has sailed.
Is Arthur Using a Smuggled Phone Again?
Here’s where things take a legally murky turn.
Reports claim Arthur regularly chats with Amelia via a phone—despite it being illegal for inmates to possess one.
If caught, it could tack an extra two years onto his sentence.
And it wouldn’t be the first time: back in 2018, he was sentenced to an additional eight months for calling his ex, Ferne McCann, from a hidden device in his cell.
Official Statements and Denials
While some sources insist Arthur and Amelia are romantically involved, others are singing a different tune.
Another person close to Amelia told The Sun that the pair are simply “family friends.”
Meanwhile, HMP Buckley Hall and Amelia herself have yet to make any public statements.
Arthur’s Dating History from Prison Walls
If you’re keeping a scorecard, Arthur’s love life hasn’t exactly hit pause since his incarceration.
In 2022, he was reportedly engaged to Annie Jane, a former Page 3 model and adult TV presenter.
Annie confirmed the engagement via Instagram, even flaunting a tattoo of Arthur’s name inked on her stomach.
Sources close to Annie said the two connected spiritually through letters, phone calls, and visits.
Despite knowing his criminal history, Annie felt Arthur was remorseful and was willing to stand by him.
She believed they were soulmates, even planning to marry behind bars and eventually start a family.
Ferne McCann’s Life After Arthur
Before all this, Arthur was in an on-off relationship with TOWIE star Ferne McCann.
Their daughter, Sunday, was born not long after his conviction.
Ferne was pregnant at the time Arthur committed his horrific nightclub acid attack in 2017—a violent act that injured 16 people and resulted in a 20-year prison sentence.
Judge Noel Lucas described the crime as a “despicable act.”
Thankfully, Ferne has moved on. Now 34, she’s happily engaged to businessman Lori Haines, and the couple shares a daughter, Finty, who is almost two years old.
Their engagement was announced in July 2022, just months after they went public with their relationship.
Where Does It Go From Here?
As always in the world of reality TV and prison romances, one question lingers—what’s next?
Will Amelia double down on her relationship with Arthur despite the risks?
Will prison authorities crack down on the alleged phone usage?
Or is this just another fleeting headline in the tabloid whirlwind?
Only time—and maybe Instagram—will tell.
