The F1 World Champion signed autographs for staff and travellers as he went through departures with girlfriend Jessica Michibata, 25, a Japanese lingerie model.

One traveller said he had been told that the 29-year-old racing driver from Frome, Somerset, had been seen in a Co-op store the night before. There were also unconfirmed reports that Mr Button had been seen in local estate agents, apparently with a view to buying locally.

He is expected to be back on TV tonight in Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.
