Gary Glitter has been banned from leaving the UK.

The convicted paedophile intended to travel to France and Spain but was stopped after a court order was granted to Kent Police last Thursday.

Glitter, real name Paul Gadd, was represented by Corker Binning Solicitors but was not present at the hearing at Ashford Magistrates' Court.

The singer returned to the UK last month.

He was met by police officers and placed on the sex offenders' register, meaning that he must inform authorities of his address.
