The family of Muslim cleric Abu Qatada have left the UK and are thought to have joined him in Jordan, where he faces terror charges.
The Home Office confirmed his wife and five children had boarded a plane out of Britain and had dropped their bid to stay in the country.
A Home Office Spokesman said: "Abu Qatada's wife and five children have now left the UK.
"The family has formally agreed to drop an outstanding application for Indefinite Leave to Remain."
The move comes after the Government finally deported the extremist to Jordan on July 7 following a decade-long legal battle that cost the taxpayer millions of pounds.
The family is said to have boarded a flight to Jordanian capital Amman, where Qatada is awaiting trial on terrorism charges, on Thursday evening.
The spokesman refused to comment on whether the family would be allowed to return if they wanted to.
Good riddance!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let the Saudis pick up the tab for their upkeep!
