Vanessa Feltz vented her fury at British Airways on Sunday after she and her grandchildren were stranded in Sardinia due to a system failure.

The broadcaster, 64, had flown to the Italian hotspot for a holiday with her family, but has shared on Instagram they were stuck in a 'hellish' queue waiting to see whether they could board their flight.

Vanessa shared a video ranting that she and her family had received no updates from British Airways on the status of their flight.

However, she managed to see the lighter side, with the single star joking that 'maybe she would find a man' while waiting in the queue.

She said: 'British Airways in Sardinia, the whole system is down, we're all standing in the queue, waiting and waiting and waiting. 

'They've got no plan, there's no alternative, I don't know what they're going to suggest, and we're all just waiting, waiting.

'I've got four little grandchildren, and we're actually, we're forming great relationships, and maybe I'll find a man to marry me in the queue, I don't know, but so far, nothing!'

In a second video, she added: 'Still standing in this hellish queue that just doesn't move at all because the whole British Airways system is down. 

'No one is telling us anything, no one knows, everyone is thinking ''throw away our luggage, just throw it away. 

'What's in there anyway, a few old things from Matalan, a few old things from Dunnes Stores in Ireland in 1807, I don't care if I never see my suitcase, I just want to go home!'' that type of thing.

'And no one's caring, apparently they could possibly do it manually but they need authorisation, from who, God himself what the hell? What the heck?'

When she returns to the UK, Vanessa is set to launch her own YouTube series, after her daytime show on Channel 5 was axed.

It was revealed last month that bosses 'blindsided' the presenter, 64, when they made the decision to axe her chat show after just one year on air.

A determined Vanessa told viewers in her final episode last month that she 'is not going to hide under a rock'.

And less than a week later, the star announced her new social media show which will be filmed at her home with her friends.  

She wrote: 'Welcome to At Home with Vanessa a brand spanking new show coming to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and the universe in mid-August. 

'Filmed at Feltz Towers - my real house, with my real chums, bottomless bagels and cocktails on tap, I'm hoping you'll pop over to Vanessa Feltz on YouTube, subscribe for free, get on board and thoroughly enjoy the ride.'

Her TV friends including Ruth Langsford and Charlotte Hawkins quickly took to the comments to show their support to Vanessa and even Holly commented: 'Yay.' 

The news comes days after the golden girl of daytime TV Holly dropped her new YouTube show, Together Together.
