Charlotte Church has infuriated fellow airline passengers after she managed to talk her way onto a flight after arriving late.
The Crazy Chick arrived at a British Airways check-in desk alongside boyfriend Gavin Henson at 6.25pm for a 6.45pm flight to Ibiza.
Despite airline rules stating that check-in closes 30 minutes before take-off, the pair were allowed onto the plane after signing autographs for starstruck staff.
"It's a bloody cheek," one BA flyer complained to The Mirror. "Anybody else missing check-in time would be forced to pay for another flight."
A spokesman explained, "If passengers can still be booked after check-in has closed, without delaying the flight, we have the discretion to do so."
