A Briton convicted of having sex on a Dubai beach has arrived back in the UK.
Vince Acors, 34, of Bromley, south east London, landed at Heathrow Airport, his lawyer confirmed.
Acors and Michelle Palmer, 36, of Oakham, Rutland, were initially given three-month jail terms for unmarried sex and public indecency, but these were suspended on appeal.
Acors had made repeated attempts to return to the UK but hold-ups in the deportation process, combined with problems with his tickets, delayed his homecoming.
His lawyer Andrew Crossley said: "I can confirm that Vince has now returned to the UK. He's in good spirits and is pretty jolly. He's absolutely delighted that he's home for Christmas.
"I've just spoken to him and he's very pleased he has finally got back and is looking forward to spending time at his home. He spent the flight back relaxing and watching DVDs."
Acors and Palmer were seen having sex on Jumeirah Beach in the early hours of July 5 after meeting at a champagne brunch in a five-star hotel.
They denied having unmarried sex and public indecency but admitted being drunk.
Palmer, who was working in Dubai as a publishing executive, was sacked after the allegations emerged. Acors was visiting the country at the time.
Hassan Matter, who represented Palmer and Acors during their trial in Dubai, confirmed earlier that Palmer arrived back in the UK several days ago. He said: "I worked on her deportation. She didn't have any problems because she had been in Dubai to work."
