British teacher Jeremy Forrest who went missing with his teenage pupil Megan Stammers will not fight extradition proceedings against him and has agreed to return to the UK “as soon as possible”, his lawyers said today.

Schoolgirl Megan Stammers is expected to fly home to the UK today more than a week after she went missing with her 30-year-old maths teacher, it was reported.

The teacher of missing schoolgirl Megan Stammers was in custody in France tonight as the teenager’s family expressed their joy that she had been found.
