Paul O'Grady 'ready to riot' as he is delayed for hours in travel chaos

Paul O'Grady was fuming as his flight home from Amsterdam's Schipol Airport was delayed on the runway.

He said that he was "ready to riot" after being stuck on the aeroplane for at least two hours, having got no further than the runway. Taking to Instagram, the 67-year-old said that the pilot provided passengers with "endless lame excuses" before telling them that their baggage was stuck in a holding area.

In a lengthy rant, the Birkenhead-born comedian said that a "police cell would be preferable" to being stuck on the runway. The star was missing a charity event due to the delays and said that his temper was rising so much that he was "fit to f****** kill."
