"About 10 minutes later he said you may have noticed there’s a quite pungent smell coming from one of the toilets.
"He said it was liquid faecal excrement, those are the words he used. He said it’s not a technical fault with the plane, and he was very adamant about that."
A spokesperson for British Airways said: "We’re very sorry for the discomfort to our customers.
"We provided them with hotel accommodation and rescheduled the flight to depart the following day’s lunchtime on an alternative aircraft."
