Lostprophets singer and convicted paedophile Ian Watkins has been hospitalized in critical condition after being held hostage and brutally attacked by three fellow inmates at HMP Wakefield. Watkins, 46, was sentenced to 35 years in prison for a string of 13 child sex offences, including the attempted rape of a baby, in December 2013.

The attack occurred on Saturday morning when the three prisoners targeted Watkins on B-wing, dragging him into a cell and subjecting him to a terrifying ordeal. They threatened to stab him in the neck, leaving him injured and in fear of his life. The prison authorities quickly responded to the hostage situation, and riot officers were dispatched to the scene.
