Gary Glitter Facing Expulsion From Thailand

Gary Glitter faces unconditional expulsion from Thailand after he refused to board a flight back to Britain.

The disgraced pop star had been due to catch a connecting flight to Britain from Bangkok airport last night but claimed he was suffering a heart attack.

He told officials that he wanted to stay or be allowed to travel to another Asian country.

Speaking to the Reuters news agency, Thai Police said Glitter was being viewed as a “persona no grata” and would be "deporting him to his home country, England, unconditionally".

It’s understood that he will be flown back the UK as soon as possible.

Glitter was deported from Vietnam yesterday morning after serving nearly three years behind bars for child molestation.

He was jailed in March 2006 for molesting two girls aged eleven and twelve. His sentence was reduced by Vietnamese authorities last year.

If Glitter does return to the UK he will undergo immediate police questioning and be forced to sign the sex offenders register.

Previous reports have claimed that Glitter plans to revive his music career following his release.
