Björk went red. She veritably lost it. Then what happened?
The correct answer is 'She pounced on the reporter and limbs flew towards the hapless Thai girl's face.'
Sindri, Björk's only son, was walking through the mass of paparazzi holding onto his mother at Don Muang airport. The confusing mêlée was quickly broken up, but it is still not entirely clear if it was to do with the jet lag or with Björk's now renowned frustration with the media. She has also spoken about being hounded relentlessly by the media in the UK, the home of her greatest fan-base outside of her native Iceland.
