Tiger King star Joe Exotic is reportedly planning to launch a new radio show from inside prison.

The 57-year-old is currently serving a 22-year jail term for charges of animal cruelty and a plot to murder his big cat rival Carole Baskin.

Exotic has been unable to watch the hit Netflix series due to his incarceration but is said to be "over the moon" with its reception and is now hoping to capitalise on his global fame.

"This radio station here in the US wants him to have his own radio show from inside the prison," Exotic's husband Dillon Passage told Metro. "So we'll see what happens with that. It's kind of mind-blowing.

"I know he absolutely loves the attention. He's got a load of really good feedback, a lot of letters, a lot of emails."

Passage also revealed that Exotic has now tested negative for coronavirus, having been isolated over fears that he had caught the deadly disease.
