Child killer Mairead Philpott will be released next month after serving half of her 17-year prison sentence, it was reported.
The 38-year-old is in jail after being convicted, with her husband Mick Philpott, of starting a fire that killed their six children.
A source said she is “having a hard time” in jail for the crime she was convicted of.
Philpott, who supposedly has a new name now, is said to be “delighted” to be released from jail, where she is “not popular.”
A source told The Sun: “Mairead is delighted as a punch. She is not popular.
“Now she calls herself Louise Dunn and the other inmates nicknamed her ‘Dunn a shift.

“But everyone knows her as Mairead Philpott and has a hard time because her crime was so disgusting.
“No wonder I’m happy to get out.”
According to The Sun, after leaving HMP Downview in Surrey, she will be staying in a shelter with a new identity.
The newspaper reported that taxpayers will pay thousands of dollars for her to stay at the shelter.

Philpott, who planned the 2012 fire with her husband, burned down their three-bedroom house in Derby in an attempt to get a larger municipal home.
Children Duwayne, 13, Jade, 10, John, nine, Jack, seven, Jesse, six, and Jayden, five, all died after being trapped upstairs.
The parents, along with their friend Paul Mosley, were found guilty of murder.
Mick Philpott was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum period of 15 years.

Mick and Mairead got divorced while behind bars.
David Spencer of the Center for Crime Prevention said: “The case shocked the country and it will be nothing short of abhorrent if the children’s mother is released after 8 1/2 years. This is not justice. “
A spokesman for the Correctional Service said: “Offenders released on leave face strict conditions and may be returned to prison if they violate them.”
