STAR Hobson's evil mum has been warned it "won't be long before someone attacks her" after being locked up in the same jail as Rose West.

Her girlfriend, Savannah Brockhill, 28, was jailed for life for stamping her lover's 16-month-old daughter to death.

Smith has now been banged up in a cushy cell at the rural West Yorkshire prison where Britain’s most notorious female prisoner Rose West is serving a whole life sentence.

But she has been warned other lags may have placed a price on her head and could be plotting to attack her after details of the tragic tot's death were revealed.

Smith, who has been housed in a single cell on the Willow House wing, is said to have a target on her back in exchange for prison currency.

A source told The Sun Online: "She’s a marked woman and it won’t be long before someone gets to her.

"She’s on the lifers’ wing so there are plenty of women with very little to lose who will attack her for the price of a few bars of chocolate or some toiletries."

And in a chilling post online, one person wrote: "Leave her cell door open".

Despite being spared from having a cellmate, Smith will eat her meals in the wing's dining area and shower in a communal block.

The 20-year-old reportedly moaned on the phone to her grandad David Fawcett after hearing her jail sentence could be increased.

The Attorney General has now been asked to review the sentences of Smith and Brockhill under the "unduly lenient ­sentence" scheme.

David told the : "She phoned me on Thursday and she’s a little upset because they’re reviewing the sentence. People don’t think eight years is long enough.

"She’s upset about it, to be honest. She’s lost a daughter and has to live with that for the rest of her life, that’s all she talks about."

Smith, from Keighley, West Yorks, was sentenced to eight years for her role in Star's death but was cleared of murder after the harrowing trial.

She will be spared from bumping into House of Horrors murderer West as she lives in a Rivendell House – a separate 30-bed unit for cons with personality disorders.

The serial killer spends her days with book clubs, knitting, painting and watching TV in the Closed Category prison.

Kidnapper Karen Matthews also served part of her eight-year prison term for snatching her own daughter Shannon in a twisted plot to gain the reward cash.

The prison – near Wakefield - is also home to a mother and baby unit for cons who gave birth while being banged up but Smith’s wing is on the other side of the nick.

She wept after being convicted by the jury while evil Brockhill laughed as the sentencing hearing got underway.

Mrs Justice Lambert slammed the pair for tarnishing Star's short life with "neglect, cruelty and injury".

She added: "She was also treated with, at best, callous indifference by you both and, on many occasions, with frank cruelty."

Medics said her injuries were usually only seen in car crash victims and had been caused by either "punches, kicks or stamps".
