Strictly Come Dancing star John Whaite was left fuming after his flight was cancelled at the last minute as Manchester Airport suffered a power cut. The reality TV star, 35, and his husband Paul Atkins were set to fly to Greece for their summer holiday, but while he was on his way to the airport, he found out passengers were stranded in long queues for hours - and flights were cancelled. Unable to contain his anger, the dancer took to Instagram to release his frustration that his holiday was becoming a distant memory.
He posted a picture of himself rolling his eyes and wrote: "Supposed to be going to Greece today. But Manchester airport is apparently a s**t show and @tuiuk has emailed to say don't leave home." In a desperate bid to add humour to the tragic situation, he added: "Has anyone got a Greek beach, simulation booth installed in their back garden I could lie in for a week?" This comes after the chef, author and presenter married his long-term partner Paul earlier this year.
The couple have been together for 16 years and finally tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in New York. However, it wasn't that long ago that his relationship with Paul fell into dire straits when he appeared on Strictly last year - and many had said at the time, he had fallen victim to the show's curse. The notion of the Strictly curse comes after many celebrities embarked on relationships with their pro dancers despite being in a romance with someone else, outside of the show.
