Paul O'Grady in foul-mouthed tirade at airport and threatens to start riot after flight is delayed

TV star Paul O'Grady has taken to Instagram to rant about his recent travel delays. The celebrity, like many others, has experienced significant delays while flying and has been left very unimpressed.

Travelling on a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight, who have been contacted for a comment, Paul was delayed for over two hours. Making some bold claims on Instagram he said he was ready to riot and was "fit to f**king kill."

He was critical of the captain. He said: "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."

Paul added: "Tempers are rising and I'm fit to f**king kill...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."

In an update video, also posted to his Instagram once he was home, Paul continued to complain about the queues in the airport and spoke about how he was dreading travelling later this year. He said: "The airports are chaotic so I am just warning you now if you are travelling and I am dreading July."
