He was there (as Health Secretary) when I used the CCR a few years ago - again with a noisy entourage and moving chairs around.

I'm a bit late here, but very surprised BA let him board :-

I hope he has an exit seat, or a whole cabin to himself, being a little tall.

Professor Brian Cox MRS to LHR



I am going to hazard a guess he is not sitting down the back in the Easyjet seats.

Liam Payne (formerly of One Direction) was in our F cabin (in 5K) en route JFK, spotted by my 14 year old daughter. He very happily posed for a selfie with her as we disembarked, much to the annoyance of his surly manager who barked at her 'that is your side of the cabin' pointing across to the A side, as she initially approached him at the end of the flight.

Said manager then had a message sent to US border control that a celeb was coming through and they wanted some special treatment. The CBP obliged but their 'VIP booth' was much slower than our Joe Public queue and we left them for dust.

He was, however, very nice and spent a fun few moments with daughter which made her holiday.

I am glad that Liam was a lot friendlier than another former One Direction member, Niall Horan. He was on our CX flight from HKG to SIN a few months ago and my daughter took a photo of him on the plane. Not only did he demand she deleted it but he also sent his security detail over to her to ask the same. Apparently he didn't want to be met at the airport by a bunch of screaming fans, even though he was performing in Singapore a day or so later.

There's a difference between asking for a photo and just taking a photo.
