Former reality TV contestant and ex-footy WAG turned professional boxer Arabella Del Busso is spending her time behind bars whipping fellow prisoners into shape.
Daily Mail Australia has learned the glamorous ex-girlfriend of rugby league star Josh Reynolds is leading prison yard fitness training with other women locked up in the 531-inmate capacity Dillwynia Correctional Centre, in Sydney's north-west.
Australia's largest women's prison is currently home to Del Busso as she prepares to appeal the severity of her sentence for stealing from her employer.
The 33-year-old lingerie model was jailed on February 13 for stealing $52,000 from Rheumotology Specialist Care, where she worked as a receptionist in its practices at Kogarah, in Sydney's south, and Randwick, in the city's east.

Magistrate Hugh Donnelly sentenced Del Busso to a minimum 12 months behind bars for what he described as an 'appalling breach of trust'.

Now seven weeks into her sentence, the former SAS Australia star will appear in the NSW District Court, represented by lawyer Andrew Stewart, in a bid to get out of jail earlier.
Mr Stewart told Daily Mail Australia that Del Busso was hoping to get a sentence reduction as she was remorseful and is 'trying to turn her life around'.
''It's not to pleasant being in jail for anyone. She is trying to get as much support as possible,' he said.
Del Busso has been adjusting to life in prison which includes spending about 17 hours each day in her three-metre by five-metre cell, prison meals served on a foil tray and associating with inmates serving time for violent offences.
