While Niall didn’t elaborate on how he fell ill, one onlooker told MailOnline that the ‘Slow Hands’ singer was seen wearing “wet, cold towels around his head and neck.”
“On final descent he was vomiting quite violently.”
They added, “The crew were indeed superb, could not have done any more for him, and called ahead for BA Special Services to meet him on the plane and escort him through the border and to baggage reclaim.
“He actually very kindly signed an autograph for me to give to a friend whilst we were waiting for our bags, and could not have been more polite and welcoming. He seemed a little bit better at baggage reclaim.”
It seems the singer is on the mend, with his scheduled appearance on the Late Late Show set to go ahead.
