Six months later she was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery and later given a shattering diagnosis of bowel cancer.

I do!’ and he was like, ‘I can’t tell you that either.’”She continued to speak on Corden’s demeanour, saying: “He was just really nice, he would have been well within his rights to sit and sulk in his seat like the rest of us would be doing but he didn’t.”Vanessa then explained the context behind some photographs of Corden speaking with a staff member after passengers were forced to vacate the plane following its emergency landing.“We’re in the terminal and there was not a member of British Airways staff to be found,” Vanessa claimed.
