This morning The Sun told how the teenage son of an England football star has been suspended from his private school for making “killer clown” threats to other kids.

The lad was ringleader in a sick social media stunt that caused eight schools to be put in lockdown.

Hostile messages posted on social media along with menacing pictures claimed the creepy clowns would be congregating outside school gates.

The incident sparked a police alert after the clown group posted an online list of schools they intended to target.

The boy has been suspended but could be permanently excluded.

A source said: “He was suspended when it all came out but it looks like he may end up getting expelled as it’s not the first time he’s been in trouble.

“It seems a bit harsh to get rid of a kid for clowning around and he wasn’t the only one doing it.

“But it’s an expensive private school and they don’t mess about.”
