Former pop star Gary Glitter, who was found guilty of sexually abusing three schoolgirls, has lost a challenge against his conviction.
Three judges at the court of appeal in London threw out the case brought by Glitter, who was jailed for 16 years in February.
Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, argued that he did not have a fair trial.
But the judges ruled that there was nothing unsafe about his conviction.
A jury at Southwark crown court found him guilty of one count of attempted rape, one of unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under 13, and four counts of indecent assault.
Glitter, now 71, from Marylebone, central London, denied the allegations against him.
He was not present in court to hear the judges dismiss his application for permission to appeal.
