Ex-flight attendant reveals gross first-class behaviour of mystery Channel Nine star: 'Toes like chipolatas'
A former flight attendant has lifted the lid on the diva behaviour of a mystery Channel Nine personality during a first-class flight to Los Angeles.
Appearing on Triple M Breakfast with Beau, Cat & Woodsy on Tuesday, the air hostess known as Yolanda recounted the memorable experience which left crew members shaking their heads.
While she refused to identify the celebrity in question, she did reveal he was a 'well-known Channel Nine celebrity' and quickly ruled out one name that immediately sprang to mind for the radio hosts.
The former flight attendant said the incident unfolded before take-off when the star allegedly decided he was ready for bed before the aircraft had even left the ground.
'I'm doing pre-take-off drinks. He's taken his shoes and socks off, he's got his bed out,' Yolanda recalled.
When she informed him that passengers must remain seated upright for take-off, the celebrity allegedly pushed back.

'He said, "Oh, but I'm really tired," and I turned around and said, "Bad luck. You've got to put your seat up,"' she said.
The star eventually complied and accepted a glass of champagne, but the challenges were only just beginning.
According to Yolanda, things became even more complicated when meal service commenced.
After take-off, she approached the celebrity to take his lunch order, only to be met with indecision.
'He said, "Oh, I don't know,"' she recalled.
'I said, "Well, I can't make your mind up for you."'
Yolanda said she eventually offered to reserve a meal for him to eat later if he wasn't hungry.
However, the most memorable moment came when the television personality settled in for a sleep.

The description sparked speculation among the Triple M hosts, with Gus Worland suggesting it sounded like veteran Nine star Karl Stefanovic, but Yolanda was quick to shut down the theory
The former flight attendant claimed the Channel Nine personality reclined his seat, wrapped himself in bedding and stretched his enormous feet into the aisle.
'These feet were ginormous and his toes were like chipolatas,' she joked.
The description immediately sparked speculation among the Triple M hosts, with Gus Worland suggesting it sounded like veteran Nine star Karl Stefanovic.
'Well, it's not Karl then. I thought it was Karl there,' Gus laughed.
'Yeah, I thought it was Karlos straight away!' Aaron Woods added.
But Yolanda was quick to shut down the theory.
'No, it was not Karlos. I will say that,' she replied.
With the mystery celebrity's feet continuing to protrude into the walkway, Yolanda said she repeatedly pushed them back under the seat while moving through the cabin.
The sleeping passenger eventually woke up and confronted her.
'He turned around and goes, "What are you doing?" she recalled.
'I said, "Well, your feet are in the aisle."'
According to Yolanda, the star appeared unconcerned.
'So?' he said.
'I said, "Well, if I trip over them, I'm going to break my nose on the coat locker and I'd rather not do that, if you don't mind."'
Despite intense questioning from the hosts, Yolanda refused to reveal the identity of the Channel Nine figure, ensuring the mystery remains unsolved.
The amusing anecdote quickly had the Triple M team in stitches, with listeners left trying to work out which television personality could possibly have had such memorable 'chipolata' toes.
