A BLOKE sunk five pints of Guinness when his flight was delayed – before revealing his wife had left him for another man on national TV.

Archive footage from 90s documentary series Airline – which followed the fortunes of budget flights – shows the unlucky man calmly reacting to the day from hell.

He and other passengers fell victim to a four-hour flight delay on the way to Malaga, Spain.

After interviewing several other fliers, the presenters approached the mystery man in a departure lounge pub.

When asked how he was reacting to the chaos, he said: “I’m pretty chilled out about this actually.”

But he immediately added: “I’ve had five pints of Guinness… and my wife’s just left me for another man.

“I can’t mention the name – oh Jacqui – I’m ever so sorry about that.

“So actually, the fact that there’s a four-hour delay on a flight doesn’t bother me.”

The 1998 hit show followed Britannia Airlines at Manchester Airport, then easyJet on the continent.

Viewers watched passengers, airport staff, and flight crew battle with the complexities of budget flights.
