Pop Idol runner-up, Gareth Gates was flying back home to Bradford from Norway for his homecoming gig when he discovered his luggage vanished.

“The airline told him his suitcase had gone to another airport” he publicist told a magazine. “There was a mad panic because it contained all his outfits, including his favourite leather shirt.

“Luckily, his stylist sent another outfit up in the car and he managed to get ready just in time.”
