Posh Spice was left shaken and distressed when her
plane, with Romeo and Cruz on board, almost
crashed during take off... and she was wearing standard aircraft pyjamas and NO make-up. Luckily, the plane didn't burst into flames and bystanders were spared the even worse sight of Victoria without the hefty coat of varnish that normally protects her from the elements.
Posh, Romeo and Cruz were on the jet when a bird flew into the one of the plane's engines just before take-off. The plane was then pulled to a stop and fire crew were soon at the scene dousing the engines with foam.
Passengers were in a state, screaming for help but Victoria knew what she had to do. She got into the emergency position and grabbed her high heels, designer accessories and her lipstick. After all, if you're going to die, you might as well look good in the process.
A source said:
"It was really scary when the pilot suddenly slammed on the brakes.
The plane was taxiing down the runway and we were set for take-off. We had no idea what was happening and you immediately fear the worst. I was
sitting a few rows back from Victoria and her sons, who were at the front of
the plane."
"Who knows what could have happened if the bird had flown into the engine a
few seconds later, after take-off."
Victoria may not have had time to apply her lipstick? It's just not worth imagining.
Victoria eventually left the cancelled plane after she had changed back into her usual designer attire to catch another flight out of LA. An outfit she was prepared to sleep in this time, just in case.
You've got to look good for the reaper! The devil does wear Prada after all...
