A British Airways crew member was found dancing naked in a business class toilet at 30,000ft after allegedly taking drugs during a flight, according to reports.

The shocking incident occurred as the steward was supposed to be serving meals on a packed flight from San Francisco to London Heathrow. Colleagues became concerned after the steward disappeared during service, prompting a search of the double-decker Airbus A380-800.

The In-flight crew manager was stunned to discover him naked and dancing in the Club World cabin bathroom. He was swiftly dressed In spare First Class pyjamas and escorted to a First Class seat, where he remained for the rest of the ten-and-a-half-hour journey.

Upon landing at Heathrow around 11am last Sunday, the steward was met by police, arrested, and provided medical attention. He was subsequently taken from the plane in a wheelchair.

The incident reportedly left the remaining crew members working the entire flight without breaks.

The steward has since been suspended while investigations continue.

A source told The Sun: ?We think the guy popped pills when he was meant to be working.

It is an extraordinary thing to do.

?The plane was cruising at 37,000ft over the Atlantic, but this bloke seemed to be higher than anyone else. Rather than asking passengers ?chicken or beef?, he was stripping off and dancing in the toilet.

It was a long time before he was located and he was completely out of it.

?Not only is it really dangerous, it is a crazy way to end your BA career. This job can do ridiculous things to people, but staging a one-man disco in a Club World toilet is a new one on me.?
