A GANG of burglars who stole more than £33,000 in valuables from telly chef Marcus Wareing have been quietly booted out of Britain — without paying a penny back.
The four Chileans broke into the £5million home of the MasterChef star, 55, and his wife Jane, 53, in October 2019.

They ransacked the master bedroom of the property in Wimbledon, South West London, taking Rolex and Cartier watches and jewellery.
Now The Sun on Sunday can reveal the thieves, who were jailed for 40 months, have been expelled from Britain.
Prosecutors confirmed Jorge Rojas, 27, Danko Carvajal-Donaire, 25, Nicolas Portilla Astorga, 32, and Claudio Donoso, 25, were deported without handing over any of their ill-gotten gains.
CPS bosses said they had “no available assets to confiscate”.
Kingston Crown Court earlier heard the stolen items and damage to the home came to £33,711.
Judge Jonathan Davies said: “No one here or abroad should be under an illusion that somehow the UK is a soft touch.
“Each of you came to this country with one purpose — crime. No other reason for your visit to the UK has been offered to me.”
He sentenced all four men to three years and four months in prison.
Mrs Wareing told the court the family had spent a lot of money on extra security, adding the loss of the sentimental jewellery was “deeply upsetting”.
The Judge said three orange dots were sprayed on the back fence of the home, to tell the burglars it was a high-value property.
He added: “I mention that so others are made aware to be on their guard if they see such markings.”
