James May caused havoc on a transatlantic flight after a last minute hitch meant he was downgraded to an economy seat.
The presenter was travelling with his crew when he was bumped from his business class seats.
Now as anyone would know, travelling in such squalor is simply unacceptable when you are a jet setting Top Gear presenter so naturally, a tantrum was in order. James apparently shouted:
"I'm flying business. Or I am not flying at all! Sort it!"
Aware of his superior status, staff were happy to solve the issue by shafting a family of four, who had paid £16,000 for tickets, into economy to make room for uber celeb and VIP, James May.
James defended the move claiming he had a newspaper column that just had to be written during the ten hour flight from Texas to the UK. Perfectly reasonable we think, as anyone with half a brain knows, it is essential when writing to be laying on a flat bed with silver cutlery and a superior film selection.
Duh! Even we know this and that’s why we are only ever writing strictly horizontally, or not at all.
A BA source said:
“James May was a complete arrogant oaf – a complete diva. He lost the plot and began ranting about being given special treatment. Staff buckled and had to downgrade premium-paying passengers.”
The only thing that needs special treatment, regarding James May, is his hair.
If he ever was our weird crush (we're admitting nothing) then he most certainly has been replaced.
