Friends of the flight attendant at the centre of Ralph Fiennes' airborne sex scandal insist she did have sex with the actor in the aircraft toilet. The British actor caused controversy late last month on a long-haul journey from Australia to India when he reportedly "became amorous" with 38-year-old Qantas stewardess Lisa Robertson, who has been suspended from the company while an investigation takes place.
