DJ Chris Evans vented his fury at British Airways online after not being allowed on a plane to fly back to the UK.
The broadcaster, who presents the Radio 2 breakfast show, told his fans in a series of tweets how he had been stranded in France.
Evans added that he used his spare time in the airport last night to write a car review for a newspaper column and said the airline got “the odd mention”, before saying: “Right. Extra me time. Bar !!!”
Having told his fans that “they’ll always be a little part of me forever at that B.A. check in desk”, he made it back in time to present this morning’s show.
A British Airways spokeswoman said: “We are very sorry that some of our customers were delayed after we had to transfer them on to a slightly later flight. They returned to Heathrow Airport last night, an hour later than originally planned.”
