Over an hour later he returned to social media and added: "We are still sat on the plane stuck at the gate in Manchester... Believe us as soon as we get to Belfast we will be hot-footing it to hmv donegal arcade. The worst day for delayed flight problems. We will be there as soon as humanly possible."
