Banbury-born Gary Glitter is thought to be heading back to the UK today after being released from a Vietnam jail, where he was serving a sentence for child sex offences.
The former glam rock singer, real name Paul Gadd, was to be driven from Thu Duc to Ho Chi Minh City Airport, and is expected to arrive in London tomorrow morning.
Glitter, 64, was jailed in March 2006 after he was convicted of molesting two girls aged 10 and 11. His sentence was later reduced for good behaviour.
His lawyer said Glitter told him he wanted to return to the UK, had a ticket to London and was eagerly anticipating his release.
If he does fly back to Britain, Glitter will be met at the airport by police and required to sign the sex offenders' register.
He will then be monitored and will have to tell the police where he plans to live and if he plans to go abroad.
He could also face an order prohibiting him from going near children or using the internet.
In the months leading up to his release, Glitter said he planned to move to Hong Kong or Singapore, but speaking last week he said he wanted to come back to the UK to take advantage of the health service.
He has also spoken of plans to record a new album or write his autobiography.
