Paul O'Grady said he felt ready to start a riot after getting stuck on a plane for over two hours at Amsterdam's Schipol Airport.
The television presenter, 67, took to Instagram on Monday to document his ordeal, telling his followers a "prison cell would be preferable" to being stuck on the runway.
To make matters worse, Paul said the captain had informed them they would be taking off without luggage after bags got stuck in the holding area.
The star had been due to go to a charity reception but said he is now unable to go due to the lengthy delays amid the airport chaos.
Sharing a frustrated selfie, Paul, who wore a black face mask, vented: "What a joy flying is. I’ve been sat on a KLM flight for over two hours and we haven’t got any further than the runway.
"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.
"Tempers are rising and I’m fit to fucking kill as I’m supposed to be going to a reception at The House of Lords in aid of The Paul Cottingham Trust which isn’t going to happen.
"We’ve had half a glass of water and a few crisps and endless excuses and if this stinking heap doesn’t take off soon I’m afraid I’m going to start a riot. A police cell would be preferable to being stuck here."
He later added: "It’s also freezing on this thing, and then after passengers complained they turned the heating full on, consequently I’m sweating like a w***e in confession."
10 minutes after his impassioned rant, Paul shared a video from his plane window as it began to take off. He wrote: "AT LAST!!! Nearly 3 hours late but we’re finally in the air."
Mirror Online has contacted KLM for comment.
Thousands of passengers have had flights cancelled in recent weeks or have missed take off while waiting in nightmare queues for check-in and security clearance, while undelivered and unclaimed luggage has been piling up around the country's airports.
The trade association for the world's airlines has urged the Government to introduce fast-track security clearances for new workers or face even worse delays when the school summer holidays get underway.
With passengers facing cancellations, delays and nightmare queues at UK airports, baggage handlers have revealed their horror at having to watch pilots unloading suitcases from their planes while other staff regularly break down into tears.
According to one baggage handler writing in The Times, understaffing is the root cause of the chaos - yet security clearances for new workers are still taking up to six months to process.
The anonymous worker said: "I have been a baggage handler for more than a decade and this is the worst disruption I have ever seen.
"Before this year, I had never seen pilots helping to load and unload suitcases. In recent weeks, I have seen captains and first officers mucking in. At other airports, I hear it is now commonplace."
