Fun galore at Charles De Gaulle airport the other day when Blue boys Lee Ryan and Duncan James fell out with security guards who asked the duo to remove their belts and shoes when they set off a security scanner. A source tells the Daily Mirror: "Lee told the humourless security men his baggy jeans would fall down if he took his belt off, but they ordered him to do it, so he did. And his trousers slipped down to his knees. It was hilarious. But Lee was furious because the security guys were all laughing their heads off. And there were loads of fans milling round the airport who were goggle-eyed at it all."
"Duncan had had enough by then so he shouted at them: 'This is fucking ridiculous'. The security team took this very badly, confiscated their passports and called the police.
The police said if he didn't say sorry they'd be arrested and taken to the police station. So Duncan relented - he didn't want them to miss their flight. Although Duncan had said sorry one of the security guys said he wanted his apology in writing. It was outrageous and a total farce. Duncan said no way, but the police threatened to take him to the station if he didn't."
Dramas galore - though compared to my traumatic journey from London to Glasgow in the hands of BMI on Friday I think they got a good deal.
