"We reserve the right to refuse entry to the U.K. to anyone guilty of a serious criminal offense. Public safety is one of our primary concerns," Britain's Home Office said in a statement (via E! News). "Each application to enter the U.K. is considered on its individual merits."
But alas, Chris's merits weren't up to the U.K.'s standards.
