The former glam rocker, who has been released from prison after serving three years for molesting young girls, has been banned from returning to a marina where he previously stayed.

Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, moored his 40ft vessel Voyageur at Haslar Marina for a few months in 1997. But the marina owners have said he will not be allowed back.

The 64-year-old, famed for his hit I'm the Leader of the Gang, had been expected to arrive in London today, but refused to board a plane at Bangkok, Thailand, saying he had a heart attack.

James Beaver, operations director of Dean and Reddyhoff, which owns the marina in Gosport, said: 'He's not the type of person we would necessarily want in our marina.

'All customers who come to us are treated on individual merit, but I don't think we want him in our marina.'

Glitter who lived in Rogate, Petersfield, at the height of his fame, is being deported from Vietnam, where he was convicted of offences against two girls aged 10 and 11.

His lawyer said he wants to return to the UK and bought a plane ticket to London.

But there are no direct flights from Tan Son Nhat airport to London, allowing Glitter the option of buying another ticket when he changes planes.

In the months leading up to his release, Glitter said he planned to move to Hong Kong or Singapore.

Then last week revealed he wanted to come back to the UK to take advantage of the health service.

But if he decides to come back to Gosport, the disgraced singer, who sold 18m records and recorded a string of top 10 hits, will cause outrage in the community.

Leader of the Labour Party in Gosport, Councillor Dennis Wright, said: 'I'd think with the sort of record he has with children abroad that he wouldn't be at all welcome round here.

'I hope he decides to stay away from Gosport.'

Glitter was released from prison early after his sentence was reduced by three months last year for good behaviour during Vietnam's annual lunar new year prison amnesty.
