Jennifer AnistonJennifer AnistonJennifer Aniston abandoned her flight back home to the US after cabin fever left her too scared to fly.

The Friends star, who had been in London filming for her new movie, was due to fly home from Heathrow when her plane was grounded with fuel problems. 

Having been stuck in the plane for two hours, Jennifer decided she was too frightened to go through with the flight and asked cabin crew to let her off.

An insider told the Daily Mirror: "Jennifer Aniston got on a plane with her minders on Sunday for the 4pm flight out to LA. But because of technical difficulties the aircraft was delayed on the tarmac.

"After two hours waiting, Jennifer decided she was too frightened to stay on board.

"She wasn't rude, but just made it clear to staff that she wanted to get off."

Staff on-board the flight obliged and off-loaded the actress' luggage. Her departure caused a further two-hour delay to the passengers remaining on the flight.

Jennifer's fright comes in the middle of her divorce from Brad Pitt - who's recently been seen on holiday with Angelina Jolie and her son, Maddox.
