A woman has opened up about her encounter with disgraced Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins as she said she’s still physically stick over his requests of her and her daughter
A woman has said she is physically sick when she thinks of what paedophile Ian Watkins requested of her and her nine-month-old daughter. The Lostprophets singer was jailed for 29 years for 13 horrific sex offences, including the attempted rape and sexual assault of children under the age of 13.
One of the infants was just 10 months old. Watkins was killed in prison over the weekend, and two inmates have been charged with his murder.
Now, a woman has spoken out after allegedly becoming besotted by Watkins until he made a demonic demand of her. The woman named Hannah said she wanted to get the singer to notice her on social media when she was a teenager.

Watkins requested to see the 17-year-old naked on a webcam, but he allegedly turned his attention to her baby daughter. “I didn’t realise how much it has affected me – it’s really, really bad,” she said.
“It’s sickening really – it makes me physically sick,” Hannah told the Sun. She refused Watkins’ request to go on the webcam, but it didn’t deter him.
Hannah has claimed Watkins asked if she and her daughter would meet him, but she refused. Watkins allegedly asked if her baby would call him dad and if they “could be used as sex slaves”.
She said not long after her encounter with Watkins, he was arrested. A total of 27 terabytes of data storage from computers and devices found in Watkins’ possession of child abuse photos and films.
His heinous online library was encrypted, and the sick pervert used a reference to child abuse as his password. A former Wakefield inmate has said Watkins never showed any remorse and remained a ‘self-centred loner’ before he was killed in prison last weekend.
Insiders have said that after being locked up, his weight yo-yoed, and hair dye from the prison shop was the only thing keeping his thinning hair jet black. Yet, the proud paedo kept a deluded fan base of young women during his time inside.
He was reportedly even allowed regular visits from three ‘goth groupies’ and was spotted holding hands and giggling with his visitors. A sickened onlooker claimed they once saw him kissing one fan.
Watkins hoarded 600 pages of letters from different women, some including sexual fantasies. At his trial, the court heard that Watkins was a master manipulator and used his frenzied fan base of young women to gain access to children, including babies.
In 2019, Watkins had another 10 months added to his sentence for possessing a mobile phone in jail, which he used to contact a woman he was previously in a relationship with. The subsequent court case revealed grim details of his time inside.
Watkins used the phone to contact his former girlfriend, who first met him when she was 19. They had been in a relationship, but she cut contact in 2012.
Speaking about possible repercussions following his case, Watkins accurately predicted his own grim fate. “Chances are someone would sneak up behind me and cut my throat. It’s not like one-on-one. Stuff like that, you don’t see it coming.” In 2023, Watkins was brutally attacked by three other inmates and nearly died as a result of his injuries.
