80s pop legend Sam Fox spent a night in jail after being arrested for an alleged drunken bust-up on a plane.
The model and pop star, 56, was on a British Airways flight to Munich when she allegedly got into a dispute with another passenger.
The plane was on the runway ready for takeoff but was turned around at London Heathrow after Fox “kicked off”, sources said.
Its passengers had to get off and were put up in a hotel. They subsequently made the journey the next day.
Police said a woman in her 50s was arrested on suspicion of being drunk on board an aircraft and bailed until March.
Fox said she is helping with the investigation and is “deeply sorry for any disruption caused”.
The star was hit by tragedy in March last year after her sister Vanessa died suddenly following a heart attack, aged 50.
The sisters were very close; ahead of her 2017 autobiography, Forever, Sam told how Vanessa saved her when their alcoholic dad Pat attacked her.
Fox, 56, recalled: “I thought he was going to kill me and begged him to stop. When I tried to get up he kicked me so hard in the stomach it winded me and he wouldn’t stop.
“My sister Vanessa heard what was going on and jumped on his back to get him off me.” It is the latest heartache for model and pop star Fox – who first appeared in The Sun 40 years ago – coming eight years after her long-term partner Myra Stratton died of cancer.
Fox’s sister died days after she filmed her appearance in Celebrity MasterChef and Fox became emotional as she discussed her stint on the cooking competition in an interview with The One Show last year.
Fox explained: “I’d practised [for MasterChef] for a good couple of weeks with my sister as my sister is a fantastic cook. She’s always done the best Cottage Pie ever and so we practised together and I taped it – she’s my younger sister, you can hear her bossing me around and going ‘you’ve got to clear as you go, clear as you go! Unfortunately, I lost my sister just after the filming of MasterChef.”164

She added: “So yeah, my Cottage Pie was my sister’s recipe and I’ve still got all of her pots and all of her mash potatoes things. She’s gonna be so proud and she was so proud when I got the show because she’s a massive fan of the show.”
