Prison officer Katerina Tatus has been suspended after another staff member submitted an intelligence report, according to The Sun.
She has been accused of “having an affair and being too close to a prisoner.”
A source told the newspaper that if the accusations were true she had “ruined her career”.
The suspension is said to have “sent shockwaves around the jail” in Hounslow in west London because Ms Tatus was popular with staff and inmates.
She denied the claims, telling the Sun: “I didn’t do anything, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
On her Facebook page – which is now deactivated – Ms Tatus posed pictures of herself holidaying and partying with friends. Under one snap, a follower wrote: “Prettiest one in Feltham.”
The Prison Service said that it would be inappropriate to comment on a live investigation.
Earlier this year, HMP Wandsworth guard Linda De Sousa Abreu, 31, was jailed for 15 months for having sex with an inmate inside a cell.
The 31-year-old had sex with serial burglar Linton Weirich while another inmate, who was smoking cannabis, filmed the encounter.
When footage of one of the encounters went viral online, Abreu ditched her job and attempted to flee the country.
