Pictured: Charles Bronson wants to become a father behind bars

Britain's most violent inmate is demanding sex visits so he can become a father after marrying his former Coronation Street star in prison.

Charles Bronson, 64, wants to have a daughter with actress Paula Williamson, who he proposed to six months ago.

Bronson is one of the country's most notorious prisoners and has spent the majority of the past four decades imprisoned for a series of violent crimes.

But despite his past, he believes he will be an ideal father and is calling on the justice system to allow him to become a father after hours.

The criminal, who currently resides in HMP Wakefield, told reportedly told a friend: 'Ten years ago in this very jail they started giving out condoms so where I come from that's encouraging sex. Why can't I have sex like they do here? I want to be a dad and come out to a beautiful angel with a beautiful wife.'

The lifer whose crimes include kidnap and threatening to eat a terrified inmate told newspaper The People: 'I want a little baby. I've always fancied a daughter and I'll be the best dad in the world.

He added: 'I've even got my girl's name, Sophie, the angel of all angels. My life will be a dream come true.'

In 2013 Charles Bronson began writing to Paula, who has had small roles in Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks

He plans to marry his partner Paula, 37, in autumn, hit out at current prison legislation which will prevent them conceiving naturally.

The inmate at the top-security jail in West Yorkshire, said: 'Last month in prison down south two filthy, stinking paedophiles got married. They're doing bird in the same prison and they was allowed to get married.'

Bronson knows his only hope is being allowed to have a test-tube baby.

The fitness fanatic told the paper: 'I'm 65 now, I can't hang about. When I'm 90 my angel will be 25 and my wife will be 72. Lovely ages.'

He first struck up a relationship with Paula - who also had roles in Emmerdale and Hollyoaks - back in 2013 after they started writing to one another.

On Valentine's Day this year Bronson, who also calls himself Charles Salvador after the artist Salvador Dali, popped the question.

Last night the smitten actress confirmed she is hoping to have a baby with her jailbird fiancé.

She said she hadn't contemplated having children until she finally met Bronson in real life.

Paula said it was him who first broached the subject, concerned that she would miss out on the chance to become a mother.

After turning 37 last week, she said she realised she 'wasn't 25 any more'.

The television actor from Stoke-on-Trent said: 'It was Charlie who first raised the subject of having children. He wants me to experience as much of life as I can. He feels awful he's stuck in there. There's no one else I would want to have children with.'
