Queenstown border cops have booted out reality TV star Gary "Gaz'' Beadle.
The Geordie Shore cast member, 28, flew from Australia on Tuesday to take part in a radio promotion.
But he was sent back to Australia yesterday, after being released on Tuesday night "on conditions", including letting him stay at pre-arranged accommodation, understood to be a posh local hotel.
Mountain Scene reported that it asked if Beadle tried to get in without a work visa, but Immigration New Zealand border boss Senta Jehle refused to answer for privacy and legal reasons.
She said temporary visitors must meet certain conditions and Beadle didn't.
