Disgraced former Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins has been caught joking about his child sex offences.
Watkins spoke to a female fan while in prison the day after admitting to two counts of attempted baby rape. He said; "I'm going to put out a statement on the 18th just to say it was mega lolz. I do not know what everybody is getting so freaked out about."
"It was like either I go up there and say: 'Come on it was not that bad. Nobody got hurt,' or try to win them over with my charm and end up saying: "I was off my head and do not remember anything."
It was revealed that in a second conversation with the fan the following day, Watkins explained that most of what he said in online chat rooms was "bullshit chat that I did to shock when I was off my head".
The singer was only just sentenced to 35 years in prison for his numerous sex offences.
