'B****r. Forced to land in Dubai': Stephen Fry was on board Qantas plane forced to make emergency stop after one of its engines failed

Stephen Fry was on board a Qantas plane which was forced to make an emergency landing after one of its engines failed.

The London-bound A380 was four hours into a flight from Singapore when it suffered oil problems today.

The star Tweeted: 'B****r. Forced to land in Dubai. An engine has decided not to play.'

He was flying back to London tonight after being allocated a seat on an Emirates flight following a 16-hour delay.

There were 258 passengers on board the Qantas flight when the pilot was forced to shut down one of the four engines and make the unscheduled stop.

Fry complained that he had been left waiting on the plane before he was allowed to go into the building. His misery was then compounded when he left his wallet on the plane.

The author and comedian wrote: 'I've left my wallet on the sodding plane. Hell's teeth this really isn't my day. Will not leave without it.'
