His dodgy diet in Stafford prison of chocolate bars and cheap curries has not helped matters and has caused his bunk-mates to complain about the smell.

A friend of his family told The Sun: “Rolf’s flatulence has got really bad.

“It gets particularly worse whenever he’s had a curry, there’s no denying that, and Rolf really is fond of his curries.

“But the after effects, good God, it’s not pretty.

“It’s like living next to an abattoir whenever Rolf’s around.”

“His inmates are always complaining about him.

“If it’s starting to smell a bit like the drains have gone off you can always bet that it’s Rolf who’s behind it.

“He eats tons of curries and even follows it all up with a bar of chocolate or two.

“It can’t be that good for a man of his age.

“He gets terrible wind, and he isn’t shy of just letting one go whenever he thinks he can get away with it.”

Rolf’s estranged daughter Bindi Nicholls, who has launched a campaign to prove her dad’s innocence, said: “Dad is just a regular guy.

“He goes to the loo, and he farts and burps likes the rest of us do.

“It’s all rather embarrassing, really.”

In 2014 Rolf was sentenced to five years and nine months of jail for indecent assaults on four young girls between 1968 and 1986.

The Sun revealed last month how the shamed star has been spending his time making didgeridoos out of loo rolls.
