Baby P’s mother is back in prison after she was allegedly caught trying to sell pornographic photographs of herself online.

Tracey Connelly, 34, was locked up at women’s prison HMP Styal in Cheshire today ahead of a Parole Board hearing, after she breached her bail conditions, according to The Sun on Sunday.

"Authorities believe she was uploading images of herself and trying to flog them - possibly to sick perverts getting a kick out of her notoriety," a source told the paper.

Connelly was jailed for six years over the death of her 17-month-old baby, Peter, at her flat in north London in August 2007.

He was found dead in his cot and was found to have suffered more than 50 injuries despite being on the at-risk register and receiving 60 visits from social workers, police and health professionals over the final eight months of his life.

She was freed 18 months ago on licence.

Her boyfriend, Steven Barker, 41, was jailed for 12 years and his brother, Jason Owen, was jailed for six years.
