Weirich has a partner who is seven months pregnant.

A source close to the partner, who we are not naming, told MailOnline: ‘This is the last thing she needs in her condition, it is extremely upsetting.

‘This stupid video has affected her health, she was admitted to hospital last weekend due to stress. She fears it will cause premature labour.’

Mrs De Sousa Abreu, 30, who is married, was arrested at Heathrow Airport on Saturday before she could board a flight to join her family in Madrid, a court heard yesterday.

She attempted to travel on a Portuguese passport, but her passport was confiscated by the Metropolitan Police.

Ms De Sousa Abreu appeared at Uxbridge Crown Court on Monday charged with misconduct in a public office by ‘participating in a sexual act with a prisoner in a prison cell.’

Wearing a gray tracksuit specifically designed for custody, she spoke only to confirm her name, date of birth and address.

Prosecutor Niamh McDonagh told the court: ‘Ms De Sousa Abreu was arrested at Heathrow Airport where she was booked on a flight to Madrid. I believe she has relatives living there.

‘When she was arrested, her Portuguese passport was confiscated by the police. She is a Portuguese citizen with a Portuguese passport.’

Gayathri Yogarajah defended her by saying that Ms De Sousa Abreu had informed HMP Wandsworth of her travel plans and that these plans had then been passed on to Scotland Yard.
