Paedophile pop star Gary Glitter has reportedly had a coronavirus jab behind bars.
The serial sex offender was vaccinated last week at HMP The Verne in Portland, Dorset, according to The Sun.
The 76-year-old, whose real name is Paul Gadd, is almost six years into a 16 year sentence for attempted rape, unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under 13, and four counts of indecent assault in 2015.
The Ministry of Justice has been criticised as some key workers and vulnerable people are yet to receive their jab but insists that prisoners are not getting preferential treatment.

A Northern Ireland council has banned a Christmas song by disgraced pop star Gary Glitter from being played in a town centre following complaints from the public.

Officials admitted they had made a mistake in playing the song.
Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, is currently in prison after being convicted of downloading child pornography in 1999 and child sexual abuse and attempted rape offences in 2006 and 2015.
