She has been revealed to be Ms Joanne Wickenden, who is 23 years old.
She seems to peg her rude remarks against Nigerian customers of the British airlines on what appears to be her sexual frustration, with particular references to Nigerian men and their sex organs.
She had portrayed herself as a sex-starved woman who is in desperate need of male companion, having used plenty expletives such as ” f***ing,” “b***s,” and “Big d****” all of which are sexual innuendos that refer to the male sex organ.
Ms Wickenden was also outed as an aspiring actress who hunted for male company on the dating website, Plenty of Fish.
In her Snapchat tirade against Nigerian passengers on a London-Abuja flight, Wickenden had made copious references to the male genitalia, underscoring her preoccupation with sex, having been single for two years and desperately searching for a male company.
The 5ft 11in air hostess says she has been single for two years, and boasted about her job on the dating site, Plenty of Fish.
“I’m a flight attendant living in Crawley. I’ve been single for 2 years now and miss a bit of male company,” Wickenden wrote.
Ms Wickenden, currently being investigated by the airline, described herself as a ‘Princess’ who likes a laugh.
The 23-year-old, a member of mixed fleet cabin crew, sparked outrage after recording the racist clip in her BA uniform before flying from London Heathrow to Abuja on Friday night.
Wickenden, who is believed to have been suspended, refused to comment about the video at the home she shares with her mother and father in Fareham, Hampshire, MailOnline says.
But a close friend defended the flight attendant, saying, “The film was recorded by a BA colleague.
“She’s not racist; it was a joke between two friends. It wasn’t meant to be racist. She is not saying she dislikes Nigerians and she’s not saying that anyone is better than anyone else.
“The other colleague just wanted her to impersonate what goes on on the flight. Albeit, it was an inappropriate comment to make.
“She’s very upset because now the whole world knows her face and thinks she’s a racist.
But a former school friend noted: “I was disgusted, it’s so embarrassing. She was renowned for making inappropriate jokes at school.”
A shocked staff member said BA should apologise to its Nigerian passengers.
Meanwhile, in a statement, the company said: “We expect the utmost professionalism from our staff when they are representing British Airways. We are investigating this video.”
