“Hot felon” Jeremy Meeks has been denied entry to the United Kingdom at Heathrow Airport.
The ex-con model, 33, was sent packing back to the US less than eight hours after landing at Britain’s biggest airport on Monday.
He had been due to take part in photoshoots in London and attend the cover launch of a new issue of fashion mag Man About Town.
But border control officers barred the former gangster from leaving the terminal and bundled him onto an American Airlines flight to New York last night.
Video filmed from the airport showed Meeks fuming: “I’m sick of this s–t. I’ve been denied. London don’t want me here having served my time. S–t is crazy.”
His manager, Jim Jordan, holed up with Meeks’ wife, Melissa, at a hotel in the capital, told the Daily Mail: “We went into the UK and we went through immigration and they detained Jeremy.”
“He wasn’t arrested but they deported him out of the country. They wouldn’t let him come into the country.”
He added: “He is really upset. He was police-escorted onto the plane.”
Meeks shot to fame in 2014 when California’s Stockton Police Department posted his doughy-eyed mugshot on their website.
He had been arrested in his hometown following an arrest for gang activity and resisting arrest.
Following his release in March 2016, Meeks has taken on a successful modeling career and appeared on the catwalk at New York Fashion Week in February.
