Troubled British singer Amy Winehouse was caught smoking on board a British Airways flight to Glasgow.
Winehouse, 24, reportedly infuriated passengers on board the the hour-long flight from London to Glasgow – by locking herself in the cubicle three times – for ten minutes each time.
According to British newspaper The Sun, a female crew member on board the flight eventually announced over the Tannoy: “Our famous little friend is smoking in the toilet. It’s just that the smoke alarm hasn’t gone off yet.”
Police have said that no complaint has been made – despite the fact that smoking on flights being illegal.
Winehouse was whisked away by minders as soon as the plane landed and she swore at a girl who asked her to pose for a photograph.
One of the passengers who was on board the flight told The Sun: “She was lolling in her seat and looked totally out of it.
“She kept locking herself in the toilet. Other passengers were having to troop to the other end of the plane and were getting annoyed.”
He also claimed that when the air hostess made her announcement Amy “was so zonked” that she didn’t know what was going on.
Another infuriated passenger said: “It’s one rule for her and another one for us.
“I’d have been arrested if I was caught smoking in the toilet and rightly so.
“Fair enough she’s stressed out but it’s not exactly a long-haul flight.”
A British Airways spokesman said cabin crew denied they had made the announcement, but there could be an internal investigation.
