In the footage filmed by Sandra herself on the plane before take off, she stood in the aisle and argued she should get a different seat. ‘There’s one person there,’ she said, referencing a man by the window, insisting ‘I’m not showing your face’ as she kept his head out of frame.

‘And there’s one person there and they want me to sit there,’ she continued. ‘No! I’m a celebrity, I’m Sandra Gogglebox. I’m a celebrity… get me out of here!. ‘I cannot sit in that spot. I can’t breathe, I’m gonna faint, I’m gonna fart.’.
