AIRLINE brought the lives of easyJet workers into our front rooms and was the reality TV predecessor to shows including I’m A Celebrity and Towie.

Here we take a look at what the stars of the popular ITV series are up to now.

ITV

Where are the stars of Airline now?

Airline ran on ITV for eight years between 1998 and 2006, following the lives of easyJet staff across the country.

Each episode lasted 22 minutes and documented the dramas that unfolded after missed flights, cancellations, police operations, illnesses — and even the occasional wedding.

It was a huge hit, raking in millions of viewers each episode, over ten seasons.

But some fans may wonder what the stars of Airline are up to now.

With his calm approach, supervisor Leo Jones was the hero we didn’t deserve.

He quickly became a fan favourite for the patient way he handled aggressive customers.

Leo remained at easyJet until March 2018, and ended up being promoted to a regional manager.

The dad-of-two, who has sons Hugo and Zac, can be found sharing pictures and tweeting at @jones_leo.

In 2022, the 44-year-old was given a five-year restraining order, following being found guilty of stalking GB News presenter Ellie Costello.

The campaign of harassment lasted almost a year and a half — culminating in Leo showing up at the TV studio after meeting Ellie during a live interview.

He pleaded guilty at St Albans Magistrates’ Court to causing serious alarm, distress and mental anguish.

His sentence was a 26-week custodial sentence which was suspended for two years, as well as the five-year restraining order.

Leo was first interviewed by Ellie on GB News in August 2021, where he presented himself as a “travel expert” analysing the industry during the Covid-19 pandemic.

He further texted her with messages like: “You take my breath away”,”You motivate me beyond words”, and perhaps the most disturbing, “You are my sunshine I love you.”

As of 2025, Leo has switched careers and is working as a fitness instructor.

Jane Boulton, now 54 as of January 2025, had to put up with some very angry passengers during her tenure on the show.

Before quitting the industry in 2014, she worked at Luton, Heathrow, Belfast and Gatwick.

She now lives in South London and runs her own business, named Party Paradise UK.

It provides entertainment and cake for kids’ parties.

She is now married – and goes by Mrs Lee — with three kids of her own. .

Even though the show finished in 2006, she said she still gets recognised in the street and keeps in contact with Leo and Katrina.

Despite playing a big role on Airline, in November 2024 she revealed a surprising truth: she didn’t make any money from the show.

When asked on a podcast how much she made from starring in the series, she shared: “Not a penny.”

The situation was no different for her co-stars.

Jane added: “Before the series happened, we all signed disclaimers.

“We laugh now. Very bitter — if it happened now, we’d all be bloody millionaires.”

Katrina Leeder

Katrina Leeder’s health battle was documented on Airline[/caption]

Check-in staff member Katrina Leeder was many customers’ first point of call when they arrived at the airport.

Her problem-solving manner gained her an army of fans in the process.

As of 2025, she has used her expert airline knowledge to bag a job as a presenter on Travel Radio.

She is currently being treated for thyroid cancer, and was previously diagnosed seven other times.

Katrina announced her engagement to boyfriend Simon Drew in January 2024, with the couple tying the knot shortly afterwards on the 23rd of the month.

She wrote on Instagram: Wooo hooo, well we done it! Simon was feeling so weak and rough after his chemotherapy a few days ago in fact he was asleep up until an hour before the wedding, but he done it, we done it and I am very proud to be his wife, Mrs Drew. We will keep each other strong forever.”

Tragically, Simon is also facing cancer and his variant is incurable.

RAIDING the home of murder suspect Colin Cheetham, cops discovered a “gold mine of evidence”, chilling gun pose snaps and up to 600 large fizzy drink bottles filled with urine. 

It was the sordid but brilliant breakthrough Derbyshire Police needed to finally nail the wannabe serial killer, who murdered a “complete stranger” to discover “the pleasure of killing someone”.

Father of three Stuart Ludlam, 61, was a complete stranger to Cheetham[/caption]

Weeks earlier, they discovered taxi driver Stuart Ludlam, 43, in the boot of his cab, which was left with the engine running in the middle of a quiet country road next to Cromford train station.

The slaying in September 2009 was immediately identified as “an execution” by cops after they found two pools of blood by the vehicle and two bullet casings.

But with no suspect, a range of theories emerged including Stuart’s death being “a targeted hit”, a “revenge attack” or the result of a “taxi wars” row over a parking space.

Eventually, monster Cheetham, then 61, was caught due to his unusual compulsive behaviours, which put an end to what psychologists feared could have been the start of a serial killer murder spree. 

Detective Chief Superintendent Tony Blockley said: “He had almost committed the perfect murder because he had covered his tracks and there were no links back to him and no witnesses.

“We have no idea why he did it. The only person who knows the answer is Cheetham, but it looks like it was just the thrill of killing somebody.”

The investigation that secured the conviction of the gun fanatic – who died in HMP Wakefield in 2020 while serving a 30-year sentence – is now being revisited in tonight’s episode of True Crime Presents: Murder Without Motive on ITV1.

In September 2009, police were initially baffled when visiting the crime scene – there was no suspect, no witnesses and nothing that would link the killing to Cheetham.

Stuart was found a short distance away from Cromford train station after a witness spotted “an arm sticking out the back of the taxi” and pools of blood. 

DCS Brockley said he had “never seen a crime scene like this” in his entire career, especially due to the way the car had been abandoned with the engine still running and the boot open, allowing the victim’s body to be seen. 

Facebook

He told the documentary: “There’s been no thought about disposing or hiding the body, if somebody’s going to kill somebody why would you leave the car in the middle of the road?”

There were two pools of blood, one by the driver’s door and one by the boot, and a trail of blood between them, suggesting Stuart may have walked or been dragged.

There were two bullet casings by the boot and two bullet wounds, which led officers to believe it was “an execution”.

DCS Brockley knew they needed to “solve this quickly” because there was “panic amongst the community, thinking there’s a killer on the loose”.

‘Taxi wars’ & burner phones

Without a suspect, cops investigated whether Stuart may have been killed as part of a “revenge attack gone wrong” because he’d fallen out with another cabbie, which was labelled part of a “taxi war”.

They interviewed multiple drivers, performed forensic checks on all of their cars and discovered the row turned out to be “nothing more than an argument”, leading to the theory being canned.

From the recovered bullets, analysis revealed striation marks – parallel lines imprinted from when a gun is fired – that “are the equivalent of the fingerprint of a firearm”.

It allowed them to identify the weapon as a .22 Rimfire Rifle, which they believed had been adapted due to the marks on the bullet, but there were “thousands [licenced] in and around Derbyshire”.

He wanted to find the pleasure of killing someone and it turned out to be [Stuart Ludlam]

Prosecutor Peter Joyce QC

Police were able to track down the phone number that called the cab rank that unknowingly summoned father-of-three Stuart to his death. The killer used a pay-as-you-go sim card on a burner phone.

They narrowed down where it was bought through triangulation – a process that allows triangle-shaped areas to be identified where a phone was switched on, using multiple cell towers. 

It revealed that the burner phone had been bought in a Morrisons supermarket nearby and that Cheetham had attempted a ‘dummy run’ of the killing by calling the cab number from the murder scene weeks earlier. 

The phone had been activated in the car park “shortly after it was purchased” but CCTV in the store didn’t cover the till where the transaction took place.

Cheetham had converted a gun, which in part, led to his conviction[/caption]

DCI Brockley said: “The mobile phone cost £9.99 and it came with £10 worth of credit on it but somebody had also topped up that mobile phone with a further £10 worth of credit.”

It was the decision to top-up that helped to incriminate Cheetham because of his compulsion to pay for anything under a tenner in cash and over on his card. 

Police discovered the £10 of credit was put on the phone at a Morrisons petrol station.

It was a transaction that cost £35 alongside fuel and because he used a credit card it gave them the killer’s name and a photo from CCTV, which matched his image on cop databases due to him being a gun owner.

Cruel ‘bully’

Cheetham was their prime suspect but police had nothing linking him to Stuart and details about his lifestyle to outsiders made him an unlikely murderer. 

He was a garment technician, who was forced to retire early due to disability. He was 20 stone and had high blood pressure, diabetes and arthritis. 

But it emerged that Cheetham was a “bully towards his family” with “compulsive behaviours”. The OCD was so bad that he lived primarily in the front of his house due to his unusual hoarding and his wife hadn’t left the home in 20 years.

Behavioural psychologists described his behaviour as that of a serial killer and that may have been his first offence

DCI Tony Brockley

Detective Inspector Paul Callum said: “It was a very strange property, the house was a complete mess. We certainly found evidence of his OCD, we recovered five to six hundred bottles of urine which was really strange behaviour.” 

One of his compulsive behaviours was collecting mobile phones. He had six in his car, which had multiple cabbie numbers on them, but there were more incriminating compulsions too. 

“Each day of the week he’d do certain activities in a certain colour, when he went shooting he wore a certain kind of jumper,” DI Callum explained. 

“With money anything over £10 he’d pay on a card, anything under £10 he’d always pay in cash.” 

Knowing his compulsions allowed them to trap Cheetham, as he could tell them the shirt, jumper and jacket he wore on the day of the killing.

The latter had a blood smear on the upper left shoulder that correlated to blood on the door frame of Stuart’s taxi and was a match to his DNA profile.

Police described his home as a “gold mine of evidence” that would help to convict Cheetham. Despite this, he arrogantly believed he could use elaborate and constantly changing stories to exonerate himself.

Cheetham cruelly took Stuart’s life near to Cromford Station[/caption]

One of them was a collection of photographs of railway stations and timetables, which formed part of a ‘murder scrapbook’. One snap captured Cheetham’s reflection.

He excused it all as being his hobby but in reality, he was choosing the best murder location where would not be interrupted – he aligned the killing to a time when no trains passed through Cromford station for two hours.

Incriminating arrogance

Having researched Cheetham, police were advised by a behavioural psychologist to have him interviewed by a female officer and never confront him directly. 

They knew his “historical behaviour” could be better exploited if he was to “feel in control” and his “arrogance” would trip him up as he believed he could talk his way out of anything. 

DCI Brockley said: “We were told there’s no point directly challenging him, like ‘We know you’re lying’ because that will clam him up. Let him feel he’s in control because he will talk more.” 

They noted that he constantly “changed his story to fit the evidence” in police interviews but cops were closing in, due to compiling a mountain of proof that pointed to Cheetham’s guilt.

This included a coat that had been adapted to carry a longer weapon, photos of the gun nut posing with his weapons that showed his obsession and bullet casings that matched those found at the scene. 

Wannabe serial killer

Cops were also able to retrieve CCTV evidence of Cheetham going into Cromford and back out again to his home in Ripley, around 10 miles away, thanks to his eagerness to explain his route on the day of the killing. 

His story changed multiple times including once claiming he had taken a gun to the remote spot for a pal who wanted to ‘teach a drug dealer a lesson’, which was debunked.

Prosecutor Peter Joyce QC said Chettham “helped us build the case himself” but even in court spun lies and chose to speak on the stand, which for guilty parties is an unusual move. 

DCI Brockley said: “That was a demonstration of his arrogance, he thought he could stand up there, spin a story and the jury would believe him and he’d be found not guilty.” 

Noting cockiness was Cheetham’s undoing, Mr Joyce said: “He wasn’t bothered about covering it up, he wanted to commit a murder and say, ‘Look you can’t catch me.’

It transpired that the killer fired at Stuart through the rear windscreen of his cab, hitting him in the head. He was then forced to walk to the back of the car and kneel on the boot, where he was fatally shot in the skull.

Mr Joyce added: “He wanted to find the pleasure of killing someone and it turned out to be [Stuart Ludlam].”

In 2010, Cheetham was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, with a minimum 30-year term, but it ended 10 years later when he passed away behind bars.

The family of Stuart were relieved the monster was locked away for life, as were Derbyshire Police after receiving chilling analysis from experts.

DCI Brockley said: “Behavioural psychologists described his behaviour as that of a serial killer and that may have been his first offence.”

LUKE LITTLER is keeping a steely focus on being darts’ top thrower despite a long line of girls vying for his attention.

The world champion has amassed a small fortune over the past 12 months as he has become a household name up and down the country, but he’s keeping his feet firmly on the ground.

Littler, who turned 18 on Tuesday, has opened up on life since his £500,000 payday for lifting the Sid Waddell trophy at Ally Pally earlier this month.

And it would seem that one of the fallouts from his success is an abundance of girls trying to take him on a date – since his recent split from ex-girlfriend Eloise Milburn.

Speaking to the Mail, he said: “Extra attention comes with me winning the world title and certain reporting restrictions are lifted at the age of 18 so that will have an impact.

“And if I keep winning, I’m not making it easier for myself, am I?’

“I have had a few requests from girls to meet up, but I generally don’t reply.

“It’s just people looking at me and the money I am making, and they want part of that.”

Littler has his head screwed on properly, not least because his parents are making sure he keeps his feet on the ground.

He explained: “My mum and dad told me to keep the friends I have. Give it a few years and I may meet someone along the way.

“I have a couple of good friends from school and a few friends from different schools.

“They are doing well. They have apprenticeships, at Asda or McDonald’s, or want to be plumbers or electricians. All have good jobs and are trying to make money for themselves.”

It’s not just his mum and dad that are looking out for him though, Littler has also revealed that Sir Alex Ferguson made sure to tell his dad to keep him grounded.

Littler is making sure that his hefty winnings are kept for him and his family, who have moved out of their semi-detached house in Warrington into a five-bedroom “mansion” on a street known to locals as “Millionaire’s Road”.

But he’s had some time to treat himself as well as the ones he love – deservedly so.

The Nuke, who is only just old enough to buy himself a pint, splashed out on a £5,500 Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph watch, something he describes as the “only stylish thing” in his wardrobe.

And although he admitted that he doesn’t want “fancy bags or anything like that”, there is one other big purchase the tungsten tossing sensation would like next.

Littler has his eyes on his first ever car – a Mercedes – despite never getting behind the wheel before.

He said: “I just need to pass my test. But it’s about finding the time with my playing darts tournaments all over the world.

“I have never been behind the wheel. I’ve not done it but have always wanted to drive.

“There are crash courses in Blackpool and Liverpool where you do 40 hours for five days. I’ll do those in either place if I can, when I am not busy, which I usually am.”

A MAJOR tech brand is closing down its only UK store from an iconic London location in a matter of days.

The company had already closed almost all its retail destinations globally, leaving just a flagship London spot and another in New York.

Store opened in the UK for the first time in 2019[/caption]

Microsoft opened its 21,000-square-foot store right on Oxford Circus in summer 2019 – and just a stone’s throw from rival Apple‘s Regent Street store.

It served as the first and only UK retail spot for the tech giant.

Little-after, Microsoft decided to shutdown 83 stores worldwide in 2020 as a result of coronavirus.

The UK and New York sites were the only two saved from the chop.

But the locations were revamped into “experience centres” where people could try out the firm’s gadgets and latest tech, such as the Xbox, HoloLens headsets and Surface laptops.

The UK Microsoft Experience Centre was also home to special gaming events and was used to hold business meetings too.

However, the company is planning to close the location down for good in February.

In doing so, Microsoft is ending its lease on the building early.

“To better align with its focus on digital growth, Microsoft has decided to exit the lease at the Microsoft Experience Centre in London early,” a spokesperson told The Sun.

“We regularly review our locations and our workforce to ensure we are aligning to market opportunities and make changes to meet the demands of the business.”

This means New York will be the last physical consumer facing space for Microsoft across the world.

AS many pet owners will agree – nothing quite compares to the feeling of cuddling with your pooch.

And if it’s snuggles on the couch that you’re after, there are certain breeds you will want to consider when getting a dog.

Some breeds are labelled ‘velcro dogs’ because they’re so affectionate[/caption]

Like people, dogs have many different personality traits, and some breeds are more known for showing and receiving affection than others. 

Catrin George, animal wellbeing specialist at Animal Friends Pet Insurance, says: “There are a number of different breeds that have earned the name ‘Velcro Dogs’ because they want to be as close to their humans as possible.

“These include the energetic Brussels Griffon as well as the ever-loyal Labrador and Golden Retriever. 

“The Boxer is known for being a protective breed that gets on well with strangers too, making them a great addition to any family looking for an affectionate pooch.”

She adds: “Dogs that were bred to hunt in packs such as the Beagle and the Dachshund, are naturally inclined to enjoy the company of others, whether that’s dogs or humans, and as a result are known for being loving.

“The Bichon Frise and King Charles Spaniel also fall into the affectionate breed category, as both are known for being lap dogs, and would make a great addition to the family if you are looking for an attentive dog.”

And they’re not shy when it comes to showing their love, with their tails and noses often giving them away.

Catrin continues: “Whilst every dog is different, research has shown that they do love their owners and they’ll show this in their own ways.

“Signs to look out for include wagging their tails, leaning into you, nudging you with their noses, or even sitting near or sometimes, on you.”

Alternate ways to show love to your pets

Whilst hugging is one way to show your pet affection, it’s not the only way to build a connection with them.

And some breeds will prefer alternate forms of touch and petting. 

Catrin says: “When it comes to dogs, look out for the signs that they aren’t comfortable when cuddling, these include them leaning away or licking their lips when you touch them.

“They might also avoid looking at you or move further away from your touch. If they show these signs, it’s best to stop and find other ways to show your love and be affectionate.”

She adds: “Taking the time to get to know what they like is important and again, this can vary a lot by breed.

“For example, arctic breeds, such as a Siberian Husky enjoy playtime with their owners, and being active with them is a great way to build a connection.

“Similarly, sporting breeds, for example Spaniels, running, swimming, and playing fetch will likely make them happy. 

“Lastly, breeds such as the Chow Chow or Shiba Inu can be a little more aloof and will likely want to come to you, as opposed to you going to them. They prefer things to be on their own terms.”

EMMERDALE viewers have been left stunned after discovering Zoe Henry had a surprising past in another ITV soap before her time as Rhona Goskirk.

Before making her debut in the Dales in 2001, Zoe appeared in several other well-known TV shows, including Casualty and A Touch of Frost.

Jealous Toyah Battersby plotted to split the couple up[/caption]

However, some fans fans are only just learning about Zoe’s stint on Coronation Street.

Zoe first showed up on the cobbles in 1998 as Log Thwaite, Spider Nugent’s vegan girlfriend.

Despite just appearing in six episodes, Log made quite the impression, especially when Toyah Battersby tricked her into eating a bacon sandwich.

This ultimately led to Spider breaking up with her.

Fans were quick to share their surprise online, with one viewer admitting: “I had to Google it and it is her!”

Another added: “I did not recognise her.”

“I didn’t know that was Rhona, she was young there,” a third shared.

Zoe reflected on the role during a recent interview with Metro, saying: “It was my first job out of drama school, and I was absolutely thrilled.

“Log was an ex-girlfriend of Spider who turned up out of the blue, but Toyah drove them apart. Georgia Taylor, who plays Toyah, is always very sweet when I see her now.”

But that wasn’t the last time Zoe popped up on Coronation Street.

In 2007 she returned as Casey Carswell, who became friends with Claire Peacock before having an affair with Claire’s husband, Ashley.

Meanwhile on Emmerdale, Zoe’s character is currently involved in a dramatic storyline.

Rhona’s stepdaughter April Windsor suddenly went missing on Christmas Day.

After her family was left fearing that she was dead for weeks, police discovered CCTV footage of her in Leeds.

It is still unclear what happened to the girl, and viewers are worried her mysterious disappearance may be the result of a kidnapping.

DONALD Trump’s return to the White House could have been foreseen by books from the 1800s, it’s been claimed.

A pair of obscure novels by American author Ingersoll Lockwood are fuelling wild conspiracy theories that claim to predict political chaos, Trump’s own family ties and even if he could be “the last president”.

One of the novels follows a young aristocrat named Baron Trump, who is portrayed as an intelligent, curious and often arrogant child[/caption]

Born in New York in 1841, Ingersoll Lockwood had an eclectic career as a lawyer, diplomat, and author.

While his novels never achieved widespread success during his lifetime, wild theories about his stories are being widely shared on TikTok.

One post, now with over 5.9 million views, highlighted the eerie similarities between reality and fiction.

The short video gathered thousands of comments, with some comparing the situation to other alleged pop-culture predictions, such as The Simpsons episodes that eerily mirror real-world events.

“Too many coincidences is mathematically impossible,” one wrote.

Skeptics, however, dismiss the theories as pure coincidence, saying that any parallels to modern events are simply the result of overactive imaginations.

With time travel, mysterious portals, and uncanny parallels to real life, the books are sparking fresh intrigue on America’s latest leader.

Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey (1888), and the 1896 novel The Last President have long been a niche fascination for conspiracy theorists.

Some say there are striking connections between the novels and Donald Trump, his youngest son Barron, and events from his presidency.

The first novel follows a young aristocrat ironically named Baron Trump, who lives in Castle Trump.

He is portrayed as an intelligent, curious and often arrogant child.

Guided by a mentor named Don, the boy embarks on fantastical journeys to discover magical portals, including one in Russia.

The character’s full name, Wilhelm Heinrich Sebastian Von Troomp, hints at German ancestry — much like the Trump family, whose roots trace back to Germany.

The second book, The Last President, is where things get even stranger.

It describes a shocking and contentious election that leaves New York City – Trump’s hometown – in chaos.

Protesters storm Fifth Avenue – where Trump Tower stands today – led by anarchists and socialists outraged by the election of a populist president.

Adding to the intrigue, the fictional president appoints a man named “Pence” to his cabinet.

These uncanny details have fuelled conspiracy theories suggesting the books were ore than mere fiction.

Some speculate that Lockwood had access to prophetic knowledge – or even that Trump himself is a time traveller.

The latter theory ties back to Trump’s late uncle, John G Trump, a renowned scientists who studied the papers of Nikola Tesla.

Not only was Tesla a man associated with futuristic ideas but the one behind the name of Trump BFF Elon Musk’s famous car company.

Theories about Trump’s time-traveling abilities have floated around since his 2016 presidency, but Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey and The Last President have now provided a new layer of mystery.

LOVE Island star Tanyel Revan has branded Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard a “game player” – saying “they’re two actors”.

Curtis Pritchard, 28, and Ekin-Su, 30, have been getting to know each other for the past two weeks in the All Stars villa.

But fans were quick to slam their connection as a “showmance” after they declared they’re officially “closed off” after nine days.

And Tanyel, who appeared on series eight in 2023, agrees saying they are a pair of “actors” and are faking the whole thing for a career boost.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Tanyel said: “The best way to say this, is they’re two actors. They’re faking it.

“I’m sorry but Curtis would give me the ick.

“I think she’s [Ekin-Su] just good at acting. I personally think she knows what she’s doing.

“I don’t think she’s gone on there for the right reasons.

“She went on Big Brother and told everyone she didn’t want to be known for Love Island and put Love Island down 24/7 on that show, that’s why she got so much hate when she went in and contradicted what she said – it doesn’t weigh up.

“I’m assuming the producers tried to convince her to come on, she probably thought I could make myself look better again, obviously because she didn’t have the best experience on Big Brother.

“She’s trying to be the mother of the villa.”

“No one’s personality can change that many times on three different shows, it doesn’t make sense.”

Tanyel Revan

Tanyel pointed out Curtis’ big slip-up when he admitted things were “moving too fast” but then agreed to “close things off” with Ekin within 24 hours.

She said: “I think he realised it was too much, but then has to keep acting. She doesn’t care if he’s got the ick, because she doesn’t want him anyway, she’s not going to lock it off on the outside.

Tanyel added: “No one’s personality can change that many times on three different shows, it doesn’t make sense.”

Love at first sight?

Earlier this week, some fans were left baffled as Ekin-Su and Curtis declared they’re officially closed off after just nine days.

Ekin-Su wanted an update on their relationship and to make sure they were on the same page.

The former Traitors USA personality wondered if they were either going too fast or too slow as she enquired about the progress.

Curtis seemed enthusiastic with the way things were going, as he told her he was happy with the speed of their blossoming relationship.

He said: “I am a one woman man,” as he assured her about his commitment.

The pair then decided together that they were both ‘closed off’ within the villa, and had no intention of looking elsewhere.

Both Ekin and Curtis then shared yet another kiss after their ‘boring’ date on last night’s episode.

However, Love Island fans were left in shock as they have only been a couple for nine days.

One viewer exclaimed: “CLOSED OFF?!!?!? We are 9 days in. They are a showmance.”

A second fan claimed: “Closed off after a week, I can sense Curtis changing his mind like he did with Amy.”

And third added: “Ekin and Curtis closed off?? what is going on?”
