Brand is currently in prison at HMP Wandsworth, widely regarded as one of Britain's worst prisons.

It seems Brand hasn't left his perceived arrogance at the prison gates, with one insider claiming he "came floating in almost as though he was the Messiah".

While the prison source claimed there was "this air of superiority about him", it was "immediately" clear that Brand was "putting on an act".

"He was incredibly pale, almost as though he was going to be sick," the source added to the Daily Mail.

"Whatever confidence he was trying to project, you could see the fear beneath it."

"It was as though the reality of what had happened had finally sunk in," the inside said, revealing that Brand also asked whether he could have privacy when using the toilet.

Reports suggest Brand has already been subjected to abuse by his fellow inmates since arriving at Wandsworth.

One inmate reportedly shouted at him: "You’re not a superstar in here, Brand. You’re just another nonce."

The prison source believes Brand's fame will do him no favours as they stated: "His fame makes him a target, and there will be prisoners who would love nothing more than to make a name for themselves by attacking him."
