According to reports, the cabin crew tried to fix the problem to no avail, as a result the flight was forced to turn around when the odour became unbearable for passengers.
A town councillor in Herftordshire who was on board tweeted:
Insane! Our BA flight to Dubai returned back to Heathrow because of a smelly poo in the toilet! 15hrs until next flight...
Coun Sachdev told the Mail Online: "The pilot made an announcement requesting senior cabin crew, and we knew something was a bit odd.
"About 10 minutes later he said you may have noticed there’s a quite pungent smell coming from one
of the toilets.
"He said it was liquid faecal excrement, those are the words he used. He said it’s not a technical fault with the plane, and he was very adamant about that."
Passengers were then told that the plane would be forced to return to London for health and safety reasons, said Coun Sachdev.
He was travelling with his pregnant wife, Rupa, and their two-year-old daughter, Shravani.
A British Airways spokesperson told the Welwyn Hatfield Times: "We’re very sorry for the discomfort to our customers.
"We provided them with hotel accommodation and rescheduled the flight to depart the following day’s lunchtime on an alternative aircraft."
