Another inmate even tried to 'bank' FIVE mobile phones in his bum.
Kemp tweeted: “They found a guy with five phones banked inside him.
“Lucky the answer machine wasn’t on.”
During the programme on Scotland's most notorious jail Ross Kemp was also left sickened when one paedophile he interviewed claimed children 'enjoy' being sexually abused.
The paedophile further left viewers open-mouthed when he said he believed he should be released - because he “didn’t see what harm [I] would do on the outside.”
With unprecedented access, Kemp immersed himself in prison life at the sharp end in the iconic jail which has a formidable reputation, having served the city for over 130 years.
