Glitter on flight back to UK
Paedophile Gary Glitter finally left Bangkok on Thursday on a flight to London, the Foreign Office said.

But having failed to gain entry to Thailand on two occasions and Hong Kong once, Glitter - real name Paul Gadd - agreed to fly to London Heathrow.
Glitter had been at the centre of an international game of ping-pong as country after country refused him leave to enter.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We can confirm that Mr Gadd has left Bangkok and is heading to the UK."
He is expected to arrive at Heathrow about 7.15am on Friday and police will serve him an order which will put him on the sex offenders' register.
