Footage shared on social media shows a 31-year-old male passenger repeatedly swearing, standing up and shouting before takeoff.‌A brave hostess stepped in, ordering the man to "stay seated" over 26 times. As she firmly blocked the passenger, the flight attendant warned him she would use physical restraint, and held her ground until the plane returned to the gate.‌Armed police eventually boarded the aircraft, escorting the man away. It was later confirmed that he was arrested on suspicion of being drunk on board an aircraft at around 5.30pm on Thursday, August 6.DJ Bou shared some details of the incident on Instagram, saying he was hoping to get some sleep during the long-haul flight. But after boarding, he immediately heard a lot of noise coming from the back of the plane.‌Video filmed by Bou's tour manager shows the flight attendant - later named as Sophie Turner - firmly dealing with the unruly passenger to ensure the safety of everyone on board as the flight returned to the gate. "I will be restraining you, sir, if you do not stay seated," the flight attendant warned the man.Content cannot be displayed without consentIn a clip posted on Instagram, the DJ praised the hostess for the way she dealt with the man - and called on BA to give her a raise.

After sharing a short clip of the man being arrested, the DJ said he couldn't resist producing a song in the aftermath of the incident.‌He then revealed that the hostess followed him on Instagram and when he saw that he was producing a song, she asked if she could go and say hi. Sophie wrote: "This is me!! You're on my flight!! I'm howling!!!" After he replied, "No wayyyy," the hostess wrote: "Can I come say hi."‌"You're a legend for holding it down," DJ Bou told her, before sharing a selfie with Sophie.

"And she came and performed a song with me live."Footage from the gig shows the DJ introducing the flight attendant and praising her in front of his fans.
