Pam Ann boards Elton's private jet

Comedian Pam Ann is to fly to the South of France for a weekend  - for a private party with Sir Elton John.

The glamorous air stewardess, the creation of Australian comic actress Caroline Reid, will be interrupting her Edinburgh run next month to take a private jet to Nice to entertain Elton and his partner, David Furnish.

But it won’t be the first time the snooty stewardess has performed for the celebrity duo.

Pam was invited to crew a private jet for 100 celebrity  guests for Furnish's birthday party in Venice in 2002 after being spotted on London’s gay cabaret circuit.

And she proved such a hit with the A-listers that she kept being asked back.

Reid said: ‘I’m chuffed to bits, because Elton certainly knows how to throw a party and lay on a private jet.

‘I'm a bit of a regular on his private jets these days. Talk about art imitating life. But it’s always an honour.’

But she’ll have to rush straight back from her jaunt on August 21 for her show, Flying High, at the Pleasance.
