Camera!……..Lights!!……..Action!……….and enter stage left what is now the ex-stewardess!
Scene One: Rumours spread of a Five Mile High encounter between British actor Ralph Fiennes and Qantas stewardess Lisa Robertson in the business class toilet of Qantas flight QF123 flying between Darwin and Mumbai.
Scene Two: Under threat of suspension after being reported to Qantas management by a fellow crew member, 38-year-old Robertson claims that nothing happened between the pair.
Scene Three: Robertson reveals to a British newspaper how, indeed, she fell for Fiennes in Seat 2K… and how after a passionate fling he abandoned her to face the sack – not the sack she migh have expected!
Scene Four: In a one line statement, Qantas Airways announces
“that flight attendant Ms Lisa Robertson’s employment contract to operate on Qantas aircraft had been terminated”.
Robertson told the UK’s Mail on Sunday newspaper:
“It’s true.”
“We did make love on the plane that night.”
“At first I denied it because I was so desperate to keep my job and I didn’t want to hurt Ralph.”
She also revealed that the couple continued their steamy relationship in Mumbai after Fiennes called her at her hotel, the Grand Hyatt.
Fiennes was staying under his own name in room 663, a lavish corner suite on the sixth floor of the Mumbai Intercontinental.
Robertson told the Mail on Sunday that they made love several times before Fiennes told her the following morning that he was busy and needed her to go.
“I didn’t even have a shower.” “I just went into the bathroom, tied my hair back and put on my flip-flops”.
……….and he said:
“See you on the next Qantas flight,”
…………….to which I said,
“You will never fly Qantas again.”
……………And he said:
“Oh yes I will.”
