Big Brother’s Narinder Kaur has claimed she was ‘kicked, punched and verbally abused’ by a passenger on a recent flight.
The TV personality, 51, who starred on season two of the reality TV show back in 2001, shared her experience on a flight to India for which she paid £1,000.
She said she was ‘flung forward’ by a woman as she slept after rowing over a reclined seat on the Air India flight.
Sharing the details to X, Narinder wrote: ‘Air rage is real and I had a terrible experience with a woman literally punching and kicking my seat forward as it was reclined (I was sleeping) whilst she was trying to eat behind me.
‘She literally flung me forward and I didn’t have my belt on. She proceeded to verbally abuse me. FYI she wasn’t even drunk.’

The radio presenter added: ‘Air India your staff failed to give me options on having her arrested on landing. Why are there no legal consequences for unruly and violent passengers?
‘Why is there a lack of clarity on who has the jurisdiction to penalise the offending passenger: the airline’s country of operation, the country of departure or destination, or the passenger’s country of citizenship?’
In another post, Narinder continued: ‘I was sleeping..I didn’t know food was being served at 4am..and she could have ASKED politely- kicking and punching my seat and verbally abusing me is not acceptable.’
‘I didn’t pay £1k to sit upright the entire flight..the man in front of me was fully reclined and I had PLENTY space..’
MailOnline has contacted Air India for comment.
Narinder starred on Big Brother in 2001, she was evicted on Day 29 with Brian Dowling going on to win the series.
Since her stint in the house Narinder has gone onto present a show on London’s Lyca Radio, and also published a tell-all book about her time in the house titled: Big Brother – The Inside Story in 2007.
She has since appeared on programmes such as Jeremy Vine, GB News and Talk TV.
Earlier this year, Narinder became locked in a fiery debate with Big Brother’s Kerry Riches as they argued whether children should be paid for helping out around the house.

Kerry, a 40-year-old NHS manager from Essex appeared on Good Morning Britain to argue that chores should have a financial incentive.
While hosts Charlotte Hawkins and Ben Shephard watched on, Kerry explained how her parents would pay her to do things around the house.
She said: ‘Nothing would fill me with more pride than going to the sweet shop with my £5 note that I earned.’
Yet Narinder fired back: ‘I don’t want to be raising a generation of slobs. You’re paying your kids to do the bare minimum, what they should be doing around the house anyway.’
She added: ‘You will not be rewarded for everything you do in life. You should be part of the community.’

There were no hard feelings between the women, despite the terse debate, as when Ben, 49, remarked that season two star Narinda and season 20 star Kerry should have been on Big Brother together, Kerry formed a heart with a hands in direction.
Ben ended the segment by reading out the results of GMB’s public Twitter poll on the subject, published before the show began.
The results showed that just 38 percent of viewers agreed with Kerry that children should be paid to help out around the house.
That left 62 percent on Karinder’s side: believing paying children to do basic tasks would set a bad precedent for the future.
