Top marks to judge Amanda Rippon, who called Garard Ndela (pictured) a “selfentitled idiot” for attempting to scare people at Newcastle Airport by claiming he had a bomb.
Ndela, 20, from Gateshead, was filmed by accomplice Andre Antonio shouting something in Arabic in the hope of being mistaken for an Islamist terrorist.
