The plane was on the runway ready for take-off but was turned around at Heathrow after Sam “kicked off”, sources said.

Its passengers had to get off and were put up in a hotel.

They made the journey the next day.

Police said a woman in her 50s was arrested on suspicion of being drunk on board an aircraft and bailed until March.

Sam said she is helping with the investigation and is “deeply sorry for any disruption caused”.

The star was hit by tragedy in March last year after her sister Vanessa died suddenly following a heart attack, aged 50.

The sisters were very close; ahead of her 2017 autobiography, Forever, Sam told how Vanessa saved her when their alcoholic dad Pat attacked her.

Sam, 56, recalled: “I thought he was going to kill me and begged him to stop. When I tried to get up he kicked me so hard in the stomach it winded me and he wouldn’t stop.

“My sister Vanessa heard what was going on and jumped on his back to get him off me.”

It is the latest heartache for model and pop star Sam – who first appeared in The Sun 40 years ago – coming eight years after her long-term partner Myra Stratton died of cancer.
