Qatar Airways launches probe after Love Island star suffers with allergic reaction

Qatar Airways is investigating an incident concerning reality TV show Love Island star Jack Fowler, who said he fought an allergic reaction to nuts onboard the Gulf state’s airline. The reality series star took to social media to speak about the incident during which he said his “throat closed up” after being served nuts, despite repeatedly warning Qatar Airways staff about his allergy. Fowler said his allergic reaction came after he consumed ice cream that had crushed pistachios. He was also served pastries containing nuts during his flight, though he did not eat it. “I told Qatar Airways hostess’s five times I was anaphylactic to nuts (life threatening allergy). As well as asking for reassurance when every meal was served to me, that it was nut free,” Fowler told his Instagram followers on Saturday. The reality TV star urged people with allergies to speak up about their condition onboard and asked flight attendants to implement a system that prevents similar incidents from occurring. “We would have had to divert and land in order for me to get treated in time. Moral of this story is: If you’re a flight attendant reading this, make sure you have a system that works and prevents this type of this from happening,” he said. Fowler also asked Qatar Airways to not penalise the host, praising his service throughout the flight.<br/>
