Actor Ralph Fiennes, who became famous in the film The English Patient, is caught in a mile-high sex scandal with an airline stewardess.  Lisa Robertson says that she did indeed meet and have sex with Fiennes in the plane’s lavatory.

After chatting together, there was, she has admitted, a lot of ‘body language’ between them and even the odd kiss or two.

She gave him her phone number. Finally she decided to take matters into her own hands.

‘I just stood up, reached down for his hand and told him to follow me,’ she told friends.

‘We went into the toilet and locked the door and off came much of our clothes.’

She said they then had passionate and apparently unprotected sex.

Other crew members, more than a little suspicious, waited outside the door and later reported her to airline bosses.

Miss Robertson, 38, told friends she was so overwhelmed with the moment that she did not care who was listening, what they saw or what they assumed had been going on.

Fienne’s long time girlfriend Sirin Lewenden has ended her five-month relationship with him because of his wandering eyes and hips.  Robertson went on to add that the passion didn’t stop when the airplane hit the end of the runway.

Miss Robertson claims they went on to share a passionate night in a Mumbai hotel - at the star’s invitation.

After the plane landed in Mumbai shortly after 7pm local time Miss Robertson travelled to the Grand Hyatt, a 20-minute drive from the city’s international airport.

Staff at the hotel confirmed to the Daily Mail that the Qantas crew had been booked in as usual that night.

But Miss Robertson apparently did not use her room.

They met at a hotel and spent a passionate night together, this time practising safe sex.

‘Lisa was completely smitten by him,’ said a friend. ‘She just hoped that the relationship could continue on from there but perhaps she was hoping for too much.’

And of course the best line from this story.

It is understood she has not heard from Fiennes since their encounter.
