A recall warrant was issued for him on Tuesday following his release from prison.

The Sun reported the 51 year old was sent back to custody after he was found with alcohol at a bail hostel in breach of his licence conditions.

Bannister was also given a new restraining order not to contact Tweedy.

He was jailed for 16 weeks at Wycombe Magistrates’ Court in March last year for repeatedly turning up at the Girls Aloud star’s home while under a previous restraining order.

In 2012, Bannister killed Rajendra Patel, 48, at a south London YMCA shelter. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter following the incident.
