Paedophile singer Ian Watkins was reportedly attacked by fellow inmates who were "jealous" about guitar lessons he was providing behind bars.

The former Lostprophets frontman, 46, is said to be in a stable condition after being held hostage by fellow prisoners for six hours and stabbed in the neck.

Watkins was jailed for 29 years in December 2013, with a further six years on licence, after admitting a string of sex offences, including the attempted rape of a baby.The former singer and sex abuser is said to have suffered stab wounds and beatings before eventually being freed by prison officers around six hours after he was taken, The Mirror reports.

An insider said: “He was known to have hangers-on who asked him about music and being a rock star."“He even gave some of them guitar lessons — which made other inmates in there angry so they wanted revenge," the source told The Sun. “He is also high-profile and a lot of the lads in there think they will get a move to another jail if they attack someone well-known."The insider added: “They want to be shifted out of Wakefield, although it does not usually work like that.”This comes after West Yorkshire Police gave an update on Watkins' condition on Monday.
