By his own admission at the time he offered in conversation with the OH and me, that it wasn't his finest hour. We hadn't even asked him about it, he was clearly not proud of what had happened.
What I can say though is that if you are ever lucky to meet the man himself, it would be difficult not to consider him one of the most gracious people you could ever wish to meet. If you've ever seen him on Saturday Kitchen, for example, that's pretty much the same bloke you'll find yourself chatting to.
Anyway back to the celeb thread!

According to a mate, Mario Balotelli is sitting in front of her on BA559, FCO to LHR in J. As I don't follow football, I had to look him up.

I am really surprised he wasn't in F, even with family in tow. He certainly has the money for it and no doubt will get heaps of (unwanted) attention back in J.

William Hague (and Ffion) in F to DEL. Could debate the celebrity qualification, but he did get asked to pose for a photo on the way to immigration
(not by me)

ETA - and he’s pretty nippy, was up and into the loos to change within second of seatbelt signing going off (lot of turbulence meant there was a tight window before landing)
