Bronson: I'll run London marathon dressed as a lag & cuffed to a warder

He tells ex-wife of bucket list if released

CHARLES Bronson wants to run the London marathon in a jail uniform while handcuffed to a guard if he is released, his ex-wife says.

Britain's most violent lag laid bare the bizarre wish among a bucket list of things he plans to do.

Irene Dunroe said she has spoken to the 70-year-old most nights since his public parole hearing began this week.

And she revealed he is confident he will be freed after almost 50 years in jail.

Bronson told her friends have organised a Rolls-Royce to collect him if he leaves HMP Woodhill, Bucks, and take him to a string of bashes in his honour.

Irene, 70, who calls Bronson by his birth name Mick Peterson, said: "He called after the hearings and he told me he's very, very positive. Mick desperately wants to get out of prison.

"He can only ring for 10 minutes and the phone gets cut off.

"He's told me that his friends are organising freedom parties for him to welcome him back home and he wants me to sit next to him at them.
