SHAMED football star Adam Johnson's sister has hinted he will soon be released from prison in a Christmas Twitter post.

However, his sister Faye today tweeted: "Merry Christmas everyone. One more Christmas to go and then my brother is home and my family is back together."

Along with the message of hope was a photo of herself as a baby with her older brother.

Faye has stood by the former Sunderland star from the beginning of his downfall and her tweets seem to point to the fact she believes he will only serve around half his sentence in HMP Moorland, South Yorkshire.

It's not the first time Faye has posted about her brother's release as in November she tweeted: "Not long now till we have him back home where he belongs."

Earlier this year she announced she'd taken her six-year-old son to visit his uncle in prison for the first time in an 'emotional' reunion.

In a picture posted on Twitter, she's seen holding Lucas' hand with the words: “After a long 16 month Lucas finally got to visited his uncle, so emotional seeing both faces but my little boy can’t stop smiling now (sic)."

Johnson admitted grooming the girl and one charge of sexual activity with a child, relating to kissing her. He denied there was any further sexual activity with the girl in his Range Rover when he met up with her in County Durham.
