In a letter from her prison cell, 34-year-old Ms Philpott told her new boyfriend she is ready to have more kids.

Speaking about having children, she wrote: "When I'm 100 per cent sure then yes I will, I think you would be a fantastic dad.

"I think you could be the one ive been looking for for years and never found but ive found you now so im happy."

Ms Philpott filed successfuly for divorce from Mick while behind bars two years ago.

Earlier this year, she called her husband a "sick psychopath” in another letter from her jail cell, reports The Sun.

"I don't miss Mick - he is dead to me for what he's done to me and put me through. I feel like nothing because of him," Ms Philpott wrote, according to The Sun.

"What is he like, well where do I start - evil, horrible, violent, nasty, sick, sychopath [sic]. I don't know what attracted me to him to be honest."

The Philpotts allegedly set fire to their family home as part of a plot to catch the attention of Mr Philpott’s ex-girlfriend Lisa Willis and win back custody of five more of his 17 children. But the plan went horribly when too much petrol was used.

The house fire burned out of control, leaving Philpott unable to reach the children in temperatures approaching 537 degrees celsius, The Daily Mail reports.

The Philpotts and Mosley were jailed in April 2013 for manslaughter.

While Philpott received a sentence of life imprisonment and will serve a minimum of 15 years, his wife and Mosley received 17 years imprisonment for their respective parts in the plot.

Ms Philpott will serve half of her sentence in jail.
