Paul O'Grady backs upcoming BA strikes after nightmare flight

Paul O'Grady has come out in favour of the upcoming strikes at BA after experiencing the chaos first-hand.

The Birkenhead-born comedian was forced to wait on a plane journeying from Amsterdam's Schipol Airport for two hours as the pilot gave passengers multiple excuses before telling them their baggage was stuck in a holding area.

In a series of rants posted to Instagram, the 67-year-old made it clear he wasn't happy, stating he was "fit to f****** kill" and would have preferred to spend time in a jail cell. He said: "The captain pops his head out now and then with endless lame excuses and he’s just informed us that the luggage is stuck in some holding area and cannot be reached so if we do take off then it’s without luggage.
