Super-hot boyband singer sick on plane
Print Edition
A British boyband singer collapsed with heat exhaustion during a flight while wearing 12 layers of clothing in a bid to beat the excess luggage fee, he said on Saturday.
James McElvar, 19, from the Scottish group Rewind, was about to board an easyJet flight from London Stansted to Glasgow on Wednesday when he was told he had one carry-on bag too many.
Staff said he was allowed to take only one bag on board, so would have to pay an excess charge of 45 pounds (US$70) or bin his second bag.
With his bandmates already aboard and just minutes to spare, he made a snap decision, emptied his rucksack and donned its entire contents.
McElvar was wearing six T-shirts, four jumpers, two jackets, a pair of shorts, three pairs of jeans, two pairs of jogging bottoms and two hats.
鈥淭here was a lot of clothes,鈥 he said on the band鈥檚 Twitter feed.
鈥淚t was very difficult to walk onto the plane. I managed to sit in the seat for a minute or two. But I just couldn鈥檛 take the heat.鈥
Barely able to move, he could not even get the seatbelt round him.
鈥淚 was sweating and they kept asking me to put the belt on but I couldn鈥檛 sort it,鈥 he said.
鈥淚t was just a nightmare I was having.鈥
As he was drenched in sweat and feeling sick, cabin crew laid him out, stripped down, on an empty row of seats, where he was violently sick and then fainted.
The singer has no memory of the rest of the flight and was taken off the plane at Glasgow Airport to a waiting ambulance.
