There is nothing more annoying than when you go to an airport and all of a sudden you are being charged for extra luggage, hand luggage, overweight luggage and even for checking in itself.

And we’re definitely not the only ones who feel like this. This boyband singer decided that he REALLY didn’t want to hand over the cash and he ended up… in the hospital!

James McElvar collapsed from heat exhaustion when he was on a flight from London to Glasgow and wearing 12 layers of clothes to avoid paying for a bag.

The Rewind singer lost consciousness while he donned six T-shirts, four jumpers, three pairs of jeans, two pairs of tracksuit bottoms, two coats AND two hats.

The 19-year-old had started to undress when he boarded the flight but by that stage his body temperature had already dramatically risen and he began to sweat profusely before becoming extremely sick and losing consciousness.

James was brought to hospital where he recovered. The band posted from their Twitter saying, “For everyone asking, James is OK. He is being looked after in hospital now back home safe in Glasgow. He sends you all his love.”

Well, it’s probably safe to say that the lesson has been learned. Next time we think he may at least bring a carry-on!
