An escaped paedophile from Stoke who served 1 day of a 135 year sentence has become a celebrity in Indonesia after reaching the finals of a singing reality television show! Phil Globe – the so-called "Packmoor Paedo" – has become a hit on the show Asing Star – or Foreign Star – after drawing high praise for his rendition of the classic Indonesian romantic ballad, 'I Love Your Nose'.
Interviewed by the Jakarta Mail newspaper, he said: "The number of viewers is quite possibly bigger than the population of Stoke." Mr Globe, 64, who now works in Indonesia as a school caretaker, said he was not prepared for the amount of attention he has received.

The programme, which features expatriates singing in Indonesian, is watched by about 19 million people. "I didn't expect this to happen," he added. "If I'd realised it would get this much attention, I would probably have been too embarrassed."
Asked whether he would leave the country if offered a record deal, he said: "It would have to be a pretty good recording deal. And a country with no diplomatic relations with Stoke or the UK."
