DISGRACED veteran broadcaster Stuart Hall has had his 15-month prison sentence for sex offences doubled by judges in Britain's Court of Appeal.

Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge, Lady Justice Rafferty and Justice Macur, sitting in London, ruled that the original 15 months was "inadequate" and should be upped to 30 months.

Hall, 83, from Wilmslow, Cheshire, who admitted 14 counts of indecent assault against girls as young as nine between 1967 and 1987, kept his head bowed as he listened to proceedings via video link from prison and showed no reaction as the decision was announced.

The case was referred to the court by Attorney-General Dominic Grieve, who argued that Hall's sentence was "unduly lenient" as it failed to adequately reflect the gravity of his offending and the "public concern" about such crimes.

Former It's A Knockout presenter Hall was sentenced to the 15 months at Preston Crown Court.
