Gary Glitter to be deported back to Britain after he completes jail sentence for molesting children

Gary Glitter will be kicked out of Vietnam next week  - and is expected to be deported to Britain.

The 64-year-old paedophile, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, is to be released on Tuesday after serving time for molesting young girls.

But where the former pop star will settle as he reportedly tries to revive his singing career remained a mystery last night.

Under Vietnamese law, deportees must be sent back to their country of birth.

Glitter's lawyer confirmed that he has already booked the singer's flight to London.

But a foreign ministry spokesman in the capital, Hanoi, said last night that while Glitter must leave Vietnam, where he goes is up to him.

'He's not welcome here in our country any more,' said Le Dung.

' He has committed serious offences, he has served time in our prison for those offences and so we will not be allowing him to remain in Vietnam on his release.'

Glitter had moved into a rented house in the seaside resort of Vung Tau after being deported from Cambodia, where he was accused of child- sex offences.

In 2006, he was found guilty of molesting two Vietnamese girls, aged ten and 11. Despite denying the charge, he was sentenced to three years in prison.

In Britain, he served half of a fourmonth sentence in 1999 for possessing 4,000 child pornography images.

Glitter will have to sign the sex offenders' register when he arrives in the UK, Home Office sources said last night.
