Disgraced ex-footballer Adam Johnson is applying for an £11.50-per-week job as a fitness instructor in prison, a role seen as one of the cushiest available on the inside.

The role at Armley Prison in Leeds is one of the most desirable as it means extended hours out of cells.

The job involves giving advice on work-out plans, making sure the fitness equipment is kept clean, and fetching and carrying drinks for staff and fellow inmates. A source told The Sun that due to his experience as a footballer, Johnson will be seen as ideal for the role.

"The authorities like to place people with certain skills in relevant jobs.

"Johnson's knowledge of health and fitness will be invaluable in the gym."

"Nevertheless, his having such a position will upset a lot of people. The idea of Johnson living a cushy life in jail, and being paid for it, will grate. It doesn't sound like punishment."
