First picture of jailed star

The roly poly singer scribbles on a pad during the first hours of his 15-month sentence.
Fallen idol ... George on Friday
George, 47, is said to be terrified of attack in jail and has already angered fellow inmates by lining up a soft job in the canteen.
He is set to earn £6 a week as a server, dishing out meals to lags on A Wing of HMP Pentonville in North London, where he is doing time for imprisoning and beating a rent boy.
One inmate told a pal on the outside: It won't go down well if he's seen to get special privileges. People have to wait weeks before they're given cushy jobs.
Gay George revealed his fear of being targeted over his sexuality while in a holding cell at court on Friday.
Richard Lyttle, 40, who was up on a driving charge, said: He was shaking like a leaf, a total wreck.
He kept sobbing, I can't go to jail, I'll be killed'. Richard said he was warned: Don't talk to him, he's a batty boy (homosexual).
The singer with hit Eighties band Culture Club had microwaved fish, chips and mushy peas in a plastic container for his first prison meal.
Star's cage ... Pentonville jail
The inmate said: It was bland. The dish was tastier than the fish. It must have been a shock.
"Conditions here are rubbish and so is the food, nothing like he's used to.
Prison is a great leveller. George has been very quiet. He's not been crying but seems to be in another world and sleeps a lot.
Victim ... rent boy Audun
They've put him in a cell with a Rasta guy to protect him and there is always a guard close by.
But the inmate, who snapped George on a mobile phone, added: A celeb is a celeb in here. People love fame. Everyone remembers Culture Club.
George, real name George O'Dowd, was jailed for shackling Norwegian Audun Carlsen, 29, to a hook at his flat in Shoreditch, East London, and hitting him with a chain.

Boy George sits forlornly on a bed in his tiny jail cell signing autographs for fellow prisoners.
It is the first picture of the fallen pop star since he was jailed on Friday.
A prison source said George's cellmate, a large Jamaican called Dread, is acting as his minder. He added: The prison authorities thoughthe might be picked on for being weak so they are paying this guy with cigarettes and polo mints to protect him.
They are normally given to new inmates as an one-off but this guy is getting regular supplies to look after George.
The source said ex-Culture Club singer George, 47, who has been wearing a T-shirt featuring a pair of glittery handcuffs, needed a minder because he seemed disorientated by life in London's Pentonville Prison.
He added: It's like he's in another world. He looks scared.
He keeps forgetting where his cell is whenever he leaves it. He loses his bearings. The source said prisoners have been flocking to meet the singer, whose real name is George O'Dowd. He added: They go to his cell all day in twos and threes for autographs.
He just introduces himself as George O'Dowd and shakes hands. He doesn't say a lot.
He's got a job as a kitchen worker which is a cushy number. It would take a normal prisoner months to get a job like that. The source said George sobbed in the van taking him to prison after he was sentenced to 15 months on Friday for chaining 28-year-old male escort Audun Carlsen to a wall at his East London home.
He added: He broke down in the van to the jail and received a bit of abuse for crying.
The officer told him to keep his head up. He was offered a place on the vulnerable prisoner wing but turned it down. Instead he is with the normal population, from murderers to remand prisoners.
Dread is believed to be on remand facing burglary charges.
George, a recovering junkie, is said to have been horrified when he arrived in his cell to find the sheets had not been changed since the last inmate.
He asked for fresh sheets and was issued with some.
