TV presenter James Corden entertained fellow passengers after they were forced to vacate a plane in Lisbon. As images of the 45-year-old Gavin and Stacey actor looking frustrated circulated on social media, many were quick to remember his label as one New York restaurant’s “most abusive customer” – despite the owner’s U-turn on his statement. However, one passenger on board the flight has debunked suggestions that Corden was giving anybody a hard time, and provided an insight into what really happened.
The plane Corden was on struggled to gain altitude as it left the Algarve in Portugal and was forced to circle for 45 minutes before announcing an emergency landing. The former Late Late Show host, who recently revealed his hit sitcom Gavin and Stacey will be returning for one final episode this Christmas, is said to have entertained and posed for selfies in an attempt to keep passengers’s spirits up. “I made a joke and went, ‘Oh if we’re all going to die, you could tell us how the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special ends?’ and he went ‘Do you really want to know?’” said a passenger named Vanessa, who saw the events unravel, in an interview with Metro.
Vanessa then said Corden hinted that a long-standing Gavin and Stacey mystery might be answered in the forthcoming special. “He said ‘I can’t tell you, but do you want to know what happened on the fishing trip?’ and I was like ‘Yes! I do!” and he was like, ‘I can’t tell you that either.’.
