Jane,
Revealing that she was due to head to Gatwick Airport after attending a podcast recording, Jane found herself stuck in traffic that prevented her from arriving on time.
Appearing that karma was out to get her, she said to the camera: "Came to for an interview with Lewis Nicholls yesterday and, guess what guys, for the first time in my life it was not easy because I did not get there on time.
"We got stuck in the most horrific traffic on the way to Gatwick, there was an accident and literally we came off the motorway to queue up for the Gatwick turn off and it took us probably an hour to get from there."

In a bitter blow, Jane was just ONE minute late to the check-in desk.
And despite being Britain's most well-known check-in lady, her
celebrity
status and previous credentials did not help her as she was still denied the chance to board the plane after asking very nicely.
Jane continued: "We missed the check-in by how long? One minute. And as
nice
as I was... but no, she wasn't having any of it.
"So we missed our little flight with Eastern Airways and had to book on a train, so we should have arrived here at 10 yesterday morning and we got here at about four, three o'clock.

"So I know how people feel now, and I can honestly say a lot of people out there are probably thinking 'karma'."
Jane was based at Luton Airport working for EasyJet on their check-in desk and

She often clashed with unruly customers and was never afraid to put them in their place.
Her fans were quick to make light of the situation as they quoted many of Jane's viral catchphrases that she often used on late passengers on the show, back to her.
One wrote on the post: "Well I'm sorry but a coffee shop does not look like departures (love you Jane)."
Another added: "Jane, it's a plane not a bus, much love as always though."

As a third said: "It is easy if you get here on time as Jane Boulton once told a customer."
Jane ceased working in the airline industry in 2014 and shortly after began running her own business, Party Paradise UK.
She found herself thrust back into the spotlight when Airline found a new lease of life via TikTok with various clips and episodes going viral - 20 years after they were first aired.
It saw Jane make a return to mainstream fame in 2023 and she has since built up an impressive online following.
She has appeared on This Morning and various podcasts reflecting about her time on the show.
Jane has also become a favourite for brand partnerships and has raked in the cash working with a whole host of companies.
One full circle moment saw Jane collaborate with EasyJet as a brand ambassador for a series of viral video clips last year.
