Ominous footage has resurfaced of Gary Glitter before he was outed and convicted for being a paedophile.
The former musician - real name Paul Gadd - achieved fame in the 1970s and 80s, but saw his career in the mud for good after being convicted for downloading child pornography in 1999 and then child sexual abuse in 2006.
He was later convicted of a series of sexual offences in 2015. And last year he was recalled to prison after a video was released where he appeared to ask about accessing the Dark Web.

Now, footage of Glitter has resurfaced showing him being interviewed on Channel 4's The Big Breakfast in the 1990s.
The 1992 clip shows him speaking to the late Paula Yates while both sitting on a bed in typical interview style for the nostalgic show.
Footage shows Paula asking Glitter what he spent his money on in order for him to be declared bankrupt, with the disgraced pop star saying he'd regularly 'ring up the Playboy Club in London' and ask for some Bunnies to be 'coached down most evenings' for 'lots of good sex, drugs and rock n roll'.

The footage quickly turns even weirder, with Paula asking Glitter 'who he coaches down now', with the pop star stumbling over his words before saying 'you sneaked that one in'.
Paula delves deeper, asking: "Are they very young? Whenever I think of you I do imagine you with very young, nubile girls."
Glitter says: "What do you call young? 24? 23? All the other ones are married, I missed out you know."

Seven years after the clip, Glitter would begin to answer for his crimes after being discovered with 4,000 images of child sex abuse.
The footage from The Big Breakfast has re-emerged on X, being viewed more than 700,000 times in the last two days.
One user praised Paula Yates, writing: "A shame Paula isn’t around still - she wasn’t shy at asking awkward questions."
Another said: "Brave and intelligent woman! She is missed."

His expression though. You can hear the gears grinding," commented a third, while a fourth added: "The look of dread on his face when she asks him is f*cking hilarious lmfao, he might as well have done a loud cartoon gulp and tugged on his shirt collar too."
