Disgraced Hey Dad! star and convicted paedophile Robert Hughes will be released from Sydney’s Long Bay prison and deported to Britain after being granted parole on Thursday morning.
Hughes, 73, was convicted in 2014 of a string of sexual and indecent assaults on girls in the 1980s and 1990s.

Having renounced his Australian citizenship in 2019, Hughes will be deported to Britain when he is released from prison in a fortnight.
