Shamed Glitter in Thai hotel claiming a heart attack

PAEDOPHILE singer Gary Glitter did not board a flight to the UK last night after claiming he was having a heart attack.

Glitter, 64, real name Paul Gadd, finished a prison sentence in Vietnam for abusing two children yesterday and was due to be deported back to Britain.

He arrived in Bangkok, Thailand, where he was due to catch a connecting flight with Thai Airways.

However, it was reported last night he had collapsed in a bedroom he had rented for the night in the Louis Tavern at Suvarnabhumi International Airport. It is understood Thai immigration officials have refused him entry to the country.

The former 1970s glam-rock star served two years and nine months of a three-year sentence for abusing two young girls.

If he eventually arrives in the UK, he will be met by police and have to sign the sex offenders register. He will also have to tell authorities where he will live and if he plans to go abroad.
