BBC presenter kicked off flight by 'screaming' pilot after warning passengers of daughter's peanut allergy


Georgie Palmer, who is known for presenting the weather on BBC, has described her ordeal after being told to disembark her flight to Turkey with her family amid a row over allergies

She revealed how the pilot and cabin crew "refused to make the standard announcement on behalf of our daughter" leading her to inform the other passengers about the nut allergy and ask them not to consume them - which she said they obliged with. She wrote: "The moment I thanked the beautiful souls on our plane for helping us -many of whom hugged, cheered & held our hands - us as were forced to disembark…..discriminated against for simply having an allergy -@sunexpress captain and cabin crew refused to make the standard announcement on behalf of our daughter (they have “updated” their policy around allergies) asking people not to eat nuts on the plane before we took off (we’ve got over a decade of experience requesting these). The hand holding, tears & emotion from the passengers as we were hoofed off the plane after the angry little captain shouted at us from the cockpit……people are (mostly) kind.
