Langham loses his appeal
Actor won't be out by Christmas
Chris Langham has lost his appeal against a ten-month sentence for downloading child pornography.In a private hearing, a High Court judge told The Thick Of It star he would not be released before Christmas.
The 58-year-old was jailed in August after being found guilty of 15 counts of downloading indecent photos. With remission and the time he had served awaiting trial, he would be expected to be released from Kent’s Elmley Prison at the end of December.
A prison source told the Daily Mail: 'He is genuinely gutted that his appeal has been rejected.
'He is having a hard enough time of it from other prisoners and now he knows he will have to spend Christmas and New Year in jail instead of with his family.’
