Beckwith admits to flight mishap

Celeb Air star Tamara Beckwith has confessed that she once missed a flight for no reason.

The socialite was at the airport ready to board her plane, but did not think to get on it.

She told Teletext: "I missed my flight once while sitting at the gate!

"I don't know how - I watched everyone get on, watched the plane leave. It did not occur to me I should be on it - it was a malfunction of the brain."

Beckwith is one of 11 celebrities learning to become airline employees for the ITV2 reality show. Other famous faces taking part include Neighbours actor Dan O'Connor, Lisa Scott-Lee, Mica Paris and former X Factor star Chico Slimani.

The series, which kicks off next month, will be fronted by former CBBC host Angellica Bell.
