Having grown accustomed to first class, Christopher admitted he was shocked to discover there were so many seats in economy.
‘Once I left politics, I went through the curtains, and I was like, “Who knew there were so many seats behind here!” I was being teased by all these punters, and I said, “Who knew?”‘ he added.
Christopher admitted he was surprised to discover ‘there’s like 50 rows back here’, but said he still hasn’t ‘gone past five yet’.

Shocked panelist Georgie Tunny told Christopher that she’s ‘always back in 24’, and added: ‘It’s a whole new world down there.’
Christopher said people would often give him slack once they discovered he only flew first class.
‘They were being mean to me, so I’d give them a bit of stick back. “Ah, it must be fun being back here,”‘ he continued.
