Shamed Glitter on flight back to UK
8:15pm Thursday 21st August 2008
Shamed pop star Gary Glitter has left Bangkok and is heading for London, the Foreign Office said.
The 64-year-old paedophile had reportedly been refusing to return to Britain following his release on Tuesday from a Vietnamese prison, where he had been in jail for abusing two young girls.
But having failed to gain entry to Thailand on two occasions and Hong Kong once, Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, agreed to fly to London Heathrow.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We can confirm that Mr Gadd has left Bangkok and is heading to the UK."
He is expected to land in Britain on Friday morning.
