Baby P’s monster mum Tracey Connelly is already making a fresh bid for freedom just two months after being recalled to prison and could be back out in weeks.

Baby P’s monster mum Tracey Connelly is already making a fresh bid for freedom just two months after being recalled to prison and could be back out in weeks.

Connelly, 42, was handed an indefinite sentence with a minimum term of five years in 2009, after covering up her 17-month-old son Peter’s injuries caused by her twisted lover.

The tot died at home in Tottenham, north London on August 3, 2007 and Connolly pleaded guilty to causing or allowing the death of a child in 2008.

It was a crime which shocked the nation and united it in anger.

Connolly has struggled to stay out of trouble since her initial release in 2013, having repeatedly breached her licence conditions.

The vile mum was recalled to prison in 2015 after selling naked photos of herself online to depraved male admirers.

That act breached conditions that barred her from ‘developing intimate personal relationships’ online.

The then-justice secretary Dominic Raab tried to prevent Connolly from being released in July 2022, but she was again allowed out and moved to a secret bail hostel under a fake name.

She was then recalled to prison in September for a breach of her licence conditions.

It is not known exactly what caused the breach, but Connolly had reinvented herself on a WeightWatchers forum as a woman named Connie, where she posted about her weight loss journey having ballooned to 20 stone.

Now MailOnline can reveal another bid has been made.

A Parole Board spokesman said: ‘Yes she’s referred for her parole review. She is still at the initial assessment stage.’

This means her case will be looked at by parole experts.

They may decide to release her there and then, depending on the circumstances surrounding how she was recalled and her behaviour since.

They may also direct a hearing to take place, where a panel will decide after assessing various pieces of material, evidence and information.

Or they could decide not to release her.

She posted numerous pictures of herself at the gym, reading birthday cards and enjoying fry-ups.

If the breach does relate to the WeightWatchers posts, sources say there is every chance the Parole Board could be sympathetic.

A source said: ‘She is likely to argue that the two incidents that got her recalled are very different in nature.

‘With the government focused on freeing up prison spaces nobody would be surprised to see this rushed through.

‘But it would could outrage. This is a woman who has been recalled on previous occasions as well.’

Connelly’s lover Steven Barker was jailed in 2009 for a minimum of 12 years while his brother, Jason Owen, received a six-year jail sentence for allowing the toddler to die.

When Connolly was first released, she was made subject to 20 licence conditions, including having to wear an electronic tag and disclose all her relationships, having her Internet use monitored and obeying a curfew.

She was also banned from going to certain places to ‘avoid contact with victims and to protect children’.

The Parole Board said that she had been cleared due to a low risk of reoffending and that probation officers and prison officials supported the plan.

It will now be a matter for the Board to decide if the latest breach of her conditions was so serious that she should not be released.
