Monster mother Mairead Philpott has told her evil ex-Mick, who is serving life for the fire plot that killed her six children, to 'stay away' amid reports he wants to reunite. 

Philpott, 39, who is in a bail hostel after being released early over the 2012 Derby fire has told friends that Mick can 'do one', The Sun reported. 

Mick, 65, has reportedly told friends he wants Philpott to visit him in Wakefield Prison where he is serving a life term. 

'He may want a romantic reunion but he is not having one.

'He's an idiot. I don't want anything to do with him. He can do one,' Philpott, who divorced Mick in 2014, reportedly said to a friend.

The Sun reported that Philpott is planning to ask prison and probation officials to bar him from contacting her, describing him as a 'vindictive psychopath' who 'wants to get his claws back in'. 

'I'm over him,' she reportedly told a pal. 

Mick will need to serve a minimum of 15 years of his life sentence before being eligible for parole in 2027, according to The Sun. 

He reportedly told a friend during a phone call from prison that he was 'desperate' to see Philpott.

'He's never really accepted that they are separated,' The Sun reported, citing The Mirror.

The Philpotts' devious plan to frame an ex for killing their kids

Mairead and Mick married in 2003 and shared a cramped three-bedroom council house in Derby with his lover Lisa Willis and their children.

Mick led his wife and accomplice Paul Mosley into a scheme to get a bigger council house by burning down his home and framing Willis for the crime after she walked out on him.

He also hoped to win back custody of his five children who had recently moved out of the home.

His intention was to rescue the sleeping children through an upstairs window but the plan went disastrously wrong after too much petrol was used and the fire burned out of control.

The blaze claimed the lives of Duwayne, 13, Jade, 10, John, nine, Jack, eight, Jesse, six and Jayden, five.

Mick, who had previously been jailed for stabbing a girlfriend 27 times, wove a web of lies trying to get away with the crime and even plotted to 'get rich quick' off generous donations from the local community meant to pay for the funerals of his children.

In the days that followed the fire, Mick began his elaborate ruse to appear blameless and even appeared at a press conference appealing for information.

During a fortnight of surveillance at the hotel where the couple were put up by police in May after the fire, they were heard whispering about the case, with Mick being recorded telling his wife to 'stick to your story'.

They were charged by police on May 30 in connection with the deaths and Mosley was arrested in the months afterwards, having told a friend the plan had been for him to rescue the children.

Police initially charged the trio with murder but downgraded this to manslaughter because, while their actions were sickeningly reckless, the defendants had not intended to kill the children. 

Mick was found guilty of the horrific crime at a trial in April and sentenced to life behind bars.

The judge described the plot as 'a wicked and dangerous plan' that was 'outside the comprehension of any right-thinking person'.

'He wants her to come to visit him in prison and is talking about filling in the paperwork.

'He asked me to contact her family to find out how to get in touch with her but I don't want anything to do with it,' the friend reportedly claimed, adding that Mick was 'deluded if he thinks the authorities would allow it'.

Mairead Philpott was freed after serving eight and a half years but is subject to strong bail conditions which reportedly include not being allowed to contact her ex husband or to visit Derby. 

While living in the hostel, she has to comply with a curfew, drugs and alcohol tests and room searches.  

She is able to stay in the accommodation for up to 12 weeks while authorities and a charity help her to find somewhere to live and employment or education opportunities. 

Philpott has reportedly expressed fears regarding both Mick and the former couple's accomplice in the fire Mosley. 

Mosley, 53, is nearing the halfway-point of his 17-year term and is due for a parole hearing, meaning he could be released within months. 

'I'm really worried about Paul getting out because I don't know if Mick will ask him to do something,' Philpott is said to have told friends.
