An Irish newspaper is claiming Victoria Beckham spent almost two hours circling the Isle of Man at the weekend, while a transatlantic flight dumped fuel.
It's reported the British Airways jet, travelling from London to Los Angeles, flew around over the Irish Sea after developing fuel system problems.
The Irish Times says the pilot declared an emergency less than an hour after taking off from Heathrow.
It says the plane performed a series of circuits at 33,000 feet, shortly after 6pm on Saturday, and had to get rid of tens of thousands of litres of aviation fuel to reduce its weight for a safe landing, back in London.
Afterwards, British Airways said there was no risk and the aircraft had returned as a precautionary measure.
Thirty-six-year-old Victoria Beckham was on the flight and was said to be 'shaken and upset' by the incident.
