Paedophile rock star Gary Glitter has failed to board a second flight to the UK following his release from a Vietnamese prison.

The Foreign Office said Glitter refused to board the flight from Thailand to England last night and remained in transit, reportedly in a VIP area where travellers can rent small bedrooms airside at Bangkok airport. A second flight left Bangkok at 12.25pm local time for London but Thai Airways said Glitter, travelling under his real name Paul Gadd, was not aboard.
