But the pair have no had their day release revoked after they used their work privileges to organise suspected trysts.

A Prison Service spokesperson said: 'We are investigating these photographs and the prisoners involved have been suspended from release on temporary licence.'Prisoners found breaking the rules will be punished.'

The pair are reported to have been meeting on the way to Kandice's job in Hounslow and even posed for selfies on the street.

A source told the Sun that the pair have been seen canoodling illicitly and have been trying to squeezee in romantic walks during their release

They said: "Kandice is only allowed out to go to work - but she and her new partner have been meeting up in secret.

"They've been meeting up on her way to work and her way home.

"It's frustrating that she's still in prison but they're now meeting up for, you know, 'time together' shall we say.

"They've been taking pictures together and talking about their future together."

The pair are staying at East Sutton Park Women's Open Prison, near Maidstone in Kent, and are have reportedly been together for as many as seven months.
