Glitter, real name Paul Francis Gadd, was convicted of obscene acts with children in March 2006 and sentenced to three years in prison.

The incidents involved two Vietnamese girls, 10 and 11, from the southern coastal city of Vung Tau. He will be released on Tuesday.

"Police booked his ticket from Ho Chi Minh City to London and I have already paid for the ticket on his behalf," his lawyer, Le Thanh Kinh, said.

Kinh said Glitter told him several months ago he did not want to go back to Britain, but Vietnamese law requires he be returned to his home country.

However a Foreign Ministry spokesman, however, said that Glitter must leave because Vietnam does not want him, but where he goes is up to him. "He is not welcome in Vietnam," Le Dung said.

In a recent interview with the Cong An Nhan Dan (People's Police) newspaper, Glitter said he intended to resume his singing career and might move to Singapore or Hong Kong.

Last year authorities cut three months off Glitter's three-year jail sentence for good behaviour. He has been serving his term at Thu Duc prison 90 miles from Ho Chi Minh City.

Glitter was convicted in Britain in 1999 of possessing child pornography, and served half of a four-month jail term.

He later went to Cambodia but was expelled from that country in 2002, although officials there did not specify a crime or file charges against him.
