‘I knew I had to, and then silly Stephen thought, “Oh, well, if I go back to my seat and I just keep drinking water, at some point it will happen.”

‘He revealed that an hour later – “long story short, all of a sudden I went, but it was just pure blood”.’

The Peaky Blinders star reached out the plane’s doctor to explain him the situation.

He continued: ‘He had another friend with him, who was a surgeon, so I’m there, and I explain. He’s like, okay, and the surgeon, Dr Haji, says, we can work this out.’

The doctors proceeded to sterilise the lounge area between the economy and first class seats, while also a catheter was pulled out of an emergency box.

Stephen also praised doctors for keeping curtains drawn so he could have some privacy during the sensitive operation.

‘I drop me kecks, I get on the couch, and he performs a catheter operation there and then,’ he said and shared a selfie he grabbed with the doctors after the op was done.

‘The relief was unbelievable as you can imagine, but it was a little clot that had got stuck behind, well, not little, but, had got stuck behind my urethra,’ Stephen said.
