LONELY: Rolf Harris is avoiding other lags by playing sudoku in Owen's old bed

The convicted sex offender blows a large chunk of his £25-a-week cash on puzzle books ordered from a local newsagent.

The 86-year-old, who is also enraged after being told he is sleeping in the bed previously used by convicted Baby P-killer Jason Owen, is deliberately trying to avoid other inmates.

"He just tries to shun all contact with other inmates," said a source.

"He doesn't want to get into a situation where he annoys someone and a row breaks out.

"He also likes to stay close to his cell because other prisoners know he has a few quid and a lot more possessions than most inmates and things tend to go missing.

"Even seemingly trivial stuff like half a tube of toothpaste is valuable behind bars."

The songwriter, painter and comedian is serving a five year and nine-month prison sentence at HMP Stafford for 12 counts of sex offences on youngsters aged between eight and 19 years old.

His Southwark Crown Court trial heard how six charges related to one of Harris' daughter's friends when she was aged between 13 and 15.

One charge claimed that he sexually assaulted an eight-year-old girl who asked for his autograph at a Hants community centre in 1968 or 1969.

Harris will receive nearly £1million while in jail over the liquidation of Rolf Harris Enterprises andfriends say Harris wants to buy a holiday home.

Rolf Harris has driven fellow lags mad by making a toilet roll digeridoo.

But they're apparently getting their own back by taunting Harris for staying in Owen's old digs.

Ex-junkie Owen was jailed upon appeal for six years in 2008 for "causing or allowing the death of a child or vulnerable person" but was released in 2011.

It surrounded the torture death of 17-month-old Peter Connelly in August 2007, who suffered 50 injuries including a broken back.

In 2014 Jason Owen grew a beard and converted to Islam to protect himself from prison attacks.

The source added: "Harris has just been told about one of the previous occupants of the cell he's in and was distraught when he found out.

"He is constantly claiming his innocence so knowing that a child killer was in the cell before him is hardly going to let him rest easy in his bed."

In April this year, Harris pleaded not guilty to eight new sexual offence charges and will face a second trial on January 9, 2017.
