George Michael 'moving to open prison'

George Michael will reportedly be transferred to an open prison next week for the remainder of his jail term.

The former Wham! frontman was jailed this week after admitting causing an accident while driving under the influence of cannabis.

Michael was handed an eight-week prison sentence on Tuesday, and was taken to Pentonville Prison in North London.

PA reports that the 47-year-old will now be downgraded from a category C prisoner to a category D prisoner and moved to a less secure facility.

A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "Prisoners are regularly transferred within the prison estate according to their needs and individual circumstances."

Earlier today, a bail application made in Michael's name was withdrawn.
