Loose Women's Janet Street-Porter has told a shocking story in her trademark matter-of-fact way that she was in a plane incident resulting in her not being afraid of much in life, as the panel discussed phobias and fears.
First revealing that she used to be scared of butter beans during the Tuesday, May 2 episode, Janet dropped into the conversation casually that she wasn't scared of flying, like her co-panelist Ruth Langsford is, because, as she put it: "Was in a plane crash."
Talking about her butter bean fear, Janet said that as an adult she got over that issue because she appeared on TV cooking shows and said: "Guess what they just just tasted normal."

What's not normal, though is the length of time journalist Janet took to drop the bombshell that she'd almost been in a plane crash, when Ruth and Denise had spent quite a bit of the segment detailing how flying made them nervous.
Janet told Ruth, as well as fellow Loose Women Denise Welch and Kellie Bryant: "I'm not scared of flying, Ruth because I was in a plane crash. I was filming in Mexico and was in a four-seater CESSNA when the landing gear wouldn't come down.
"We had to fly around for four hours, using all the fuel in the wings. Wrote my will on a film carton, because my husband was a photographer, cut the engine out, glided in landed... tipped up."
Ruth said she would have been crying to which Janet absolutely denied crying, and we believe her to be honest. The ladies were talking about fears as new I'm a Celeb... campmate, Dean Gaffney is about to enter the show on Tuesday, May 2, 17 years after his first stint and he admitted he was still a wimp about all things trial-related.
Elsewhere on the show Dragons' Den star Sara Davies made homemade coronation decorations and the panel talked about forgiveness.
