Yahoo News Russell Tovey Hilariously Live Tweets His Flight Next To The Passenger From Hell
Russell Tovey decided to take advantage of the free WiFi on board his flight from London to New York and live tweet the whole experience… but this wasn’t just any normal experience – No, for he was sat next to a special kind of passenger… the passenger from hell. *Cue evil laugh*

His ‘neighbour’ made it an unforgettable journey for all of the wrong reasons and the 33-year old who is, perhaps, best known for his starring role in the television drama Being Human, found that Twitter was the perfect outlet to share his woes.
Tovey was clearly impressed by the ability to tweet midair on the transatlantic journey, describing it as ‘the future’ in his first tweet.
However, his enthusiasm soon wore off, when less than a minute later the actor wrote: “Guy next to me thought I was Australian… He’s also stolen my blanket and sneezed around 7 or 8 times.. I said ‘bless you’ first three… I can’t be bothered anymore.”

We agree; it gets a bit awks after the first 3!!
Surely you’re over the worst of it though, Russ?
Not likely. He added: “Oh it’s coughing now,” followed by, “Coughing fit over… Eye mask on… Open mouthed snoring X #7.5hourstogo #awesome (sic).”
As the situation escalated, his frustrations grew…

We feel his pain - and just as the star was about to reaching breaking point, the power of social media came into effect, as fellow passengers, who had been following his airborne tales, offered him their spare blanket. HALLELUJAH!
What did the passengers want in exchange? A Twitter follow and some selfies together, sounds like a fair deal to us!

In fact, the mystery passenger, who we will forever be referred to as “blanket man” even got breakfast out of Tovey! #BFF
