Liverpool players and staff were set to fly back from London Stansted to John Lennon Airport after the final whistle.

But they had a horror journey as their plane was unable to land in Merseyside due to “icy fog”, according to The Athletic.

The flight was instead diverted to Birmingham and a team bus then took them back to Liverpool.

It meant they did not get home until the early hours of the morning.

Arne Slot then made the decision to cancel training today.

Liverpool are back in action on Saturday as they face Accrington Stanley in the third round of the FA Cup.

The travel chaos completes a disastrous few days for Liverpool that saw them held 2-2 by Manchester United in the Premier League before the defeat to Spurs.

And it is not the first time the Reds have been impacted by weather this season after having their clash against Everton postponed due to Storm Darragh in December.

There was also concerns their game versus Man Utd on Sunday was going to be called off following snowfall.

The match is now reportedly set for February 11 but the Premier League are yet to confirm.

Despite adverse weather in Merseyside again this evening, Everton’s FA Cup clash against Peterbrough is going ahead after chiefs held a meeting this afternoon.

TOUKER Suleyman has taken a savage swipe at his BBC rival show The Apprentice – saying Dragons’ Den is ‘more real’.

The millionaire business tycoon returns to screens tonight with a brand new series of the hit series.

BC

Another batch of entrepreneurs will enter the den vying for his – and the other dragons’ – cold hard cash.

Joining Touker are Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden Steven Barlett and Sara Davies.

Meanwhile, its rival show The Apprentice is also due to return to screens in just a matter of weeks.

Speaking about the similarities between both business programmes, Touker said Dragons’ Den is “more real”.

He said: “We are really changing people’s lives, and I think, with all due respect to Lord Sugar and The Apprentice, it’s a reality show.”

Touker, 71, continued: “This is about business, this is about us parting with our own money.

“I can assure you, we don’t get as paid as well as Lord Sugar, who could afford to pay the £250,000.

“It’s our own hard-earned cash that we use in this show to change people’s lives.”

Last year Dragons’ Den bosses introduced guest dragons in a major overhaul to the show’s format.

Fans watched as football legend Gary Neville made an appearance alongside US fashion mogul Emma Grede.

Series 22 of Dragons Den launches tonight (January 9) on BBC One at 8pm.

A COUPLE’S holiday plans were left in ruins after Ryanair stopped them from boarding the plane because of their passport.

Abriella Monroe’s and her husband Sebastien had booked Ryanair flights to Tenerife.

Abriella, 32, and her husband Sebastien, 36, were planning to fly to the Spanish island to celebrate his birthday.

But were stopped from boarding the Ryanair plane due to a small tear along the spine of Sebastien’s passport.

Arriving at Manchester Airport two hours early for their flight, there didn’t appear to be a problem as they both checked-in without issue with their luggage being taken onto the plane.

Sebastien even managed to buy currency and spend money in duty free despite the fault with his passport.

But the pair were turned away at the gate after being told that Sebastien’s passport couldn’t be accepted.

Abriella told Manchester Evening News: “The man took a two second look at it and said ‘you can’t travel on that’. He said there was a slight rip in it and couldn’t accept it.

“We tried to reason with him and asked to speak to someone higher up, but it was no use.”

The pair were told they wouldn’t be able to board, and had to wait for their luggage and Abriella’s wheelchair to be taken off the plane, before having to leave the airport.

The couple explained they then went through the Border Force exit to the airport, who they said saw ‘no problem’ with Sebastien’s passport.

Abriella said they would “definitely be complaining to Ryanair”.

She added: “The passport is just slightly torn – we can fully see his details, passport number and his photograph.”

They said they would also be organising a new passport from Liverpool to avoid this happening again.

In response, a spokesperson for Ryanair said that the passport was ripped on the identification page at the seam and across the page which is why it wasn’t accepted..

A spokesperson told The Sun: “The UK Passport Office defines what constitutes as a damaged passport, not Ryanair.

“This passenger was correctly refused travel from Manchester to Tenerife (8 Jan) as his passport was damaged and therefore not valid for travel.”

Government guidelines on passports say that the HM Passport Office consider a passport to be damaged if details cannot be read; any of the pages are ripped, cut or missing; if there are holes, cuts or rips in the cover; the cover is coming away or there are stains on the pages.

Countries like Bali are even stricter, with a number of people banned from flights for small tears or damage.

Another strict country is Vietnam – here is everything you need to know.
