Furious Liz Hurley left stranded with other British Airways passengers hit by Christmas flight delays

Model and actress Liz Hurley slammed British Airways’ “dodgy service” after becoming one of thousands of passengers whose pre-Christmas flights were grounded. Dozens of flights were cancelled and many others were delayed for a whole day.

The airline said its long-haul operations were hit by a technical issue which has since been resolved. Hurley’s flight from the Caribbean island of Antigua to Gatwick was among those which were severely delayed.

The 57-year-old wrote on Twitter: “Stranded at Antigua airport with no food or water, taxis or hotels offered yet. Plane delayed 20 hours.” Hurley, who lives in Herefordshire, later posted that she was “still stranded” and hit out at the airline’s “pretty dodgy service”.
