Best Answer

You are currently overstaying in the UK. The UK authorities will deport you if they find out and they will deny a new entry if you try to come in again and if they recognize your status.

You seem to hope that your new passport will wipe the slate clean, but the UK has records from an Advance Passenger Information system if you came by air, rail or ferry.
