Georgie Palmer, who presents the weather on BBC South East, was set to fly to Turkey with her family when the incident unfolded after she asked for a nut ban on board
BBC weather presenter Georgie Palmer, 49, has claimed that she and her family were removed from a flight to Turkey after she requested fellow passengers not to eat peanuts due to her daughter's severe allergy.
She added, "There's no beef with simple asks like these. People get it! The hand holding, tears and emotion from the passengers as we were hoofed off the plane after the angry little captain shouted at us from the cockpit.", reports Edinburgh Live. The presenter concluded: "Rosie is in a terrible state about this. It has ruined her holiday. We don't go away all the time, we maybe fly once a year and have never had problems with other airlines."
"Due to the insistent behaviour of the passenger to others on board that they should not consume nuts, the captain decided it would be safest if the family did not travel on our flight."
