The disgraced singer has reportedly been told he must get on a plane on Wednesday after he refused to board two previous flights from Bangkok to London.

The next Thai Airways flight leaves Bangkok at 1.10am local time (7.10pm BST) and immigration officials are hoping Glitter will be on-board.

Colonel Puttipong Musikul, of Thai Immigration police, said Glitter was in a good mood despite waiting in the transit lounge for almost 20 hours.

"Now we are talking and he seems to be (in) a great mood - laughing and enjoy(ing) chatting with our negotiators," he said.

"It's kind of breaking the ice first before asking him to change his mind."

Glitter, who is travelling under his real name Paul Gadd, was released from a Vietnamese prison after serving two years and nine months of a three-year sentence for abusing two girls aged 10 and 11.

After his flight from Ho Chi Minh City landed at Bangkok on Tuesday night, Glitter had been due to board a connecting flight to Heathrow but refused.

An immigration official said Glitter - who was treated for tinnitus in prison - had complained of earache and was taken to an airport clinic.

The official said he was checked over by a doctor before being returned to the transit area of the airport.
