Take That "mortified" over hysterical fan

Take That were "mortified" when they were confronted by a hysterical fan at Heathrow airport earlier this month.

The band were passing through security when an X-ray machine worker had an unexpected reaction to their presence.

An airport source told the Sunday Mirror: "The band were going through a channel used by airline staff to get them through with the minimum of hassle and attention. But the security woman just went to pieces. She was screaming, 'I love you, Take That, I love you'.

"Then she started gyrating on the spot and trying to do Take That dance moves, waving her hands in the air. The whole area ground to a halt as people came over to see what was going on and it was just mayhem. The band looked mortified."

A spokesman for BMI, who the group were flying with, said: "We haven't made a formal complaint but we have pointed out to airport management that this sort of behaviour is not appropriate."

Take That were travelling to Belfast to kick off their Beautiful World tour.
