T.J. Holmes reveals fellow plane passenger accused him of STEALING her phone while he was traveling with girlfriend Amy Robach

T.J. Holmes has revealed that a fellow plane passenger accused him of stealing her cell phone while he was on a flight with Amy Robach.

While the couple was traveling back to Los Angeles from Turks and Caicos recently, former GMA3 hosts T.J., 46, and Amy, 51, experienced a tense situation when someone else on board claimed he had taken her phone.

He said the woman 'flat out accused him' of trying to run off with the device 'in front of the whole plane,' which left him extremely uncomfortable - especially because she later found it in her seat.

He and Amy opened up about the awkward incident during a recent episode of their podcast, Amy & T.J.

'I was just recently accused of stealing someone's cell phone on a flight,' the journalist shared.

'The woman was sitting in seat 1F, I was in 5C. I used the bathroom upfront that was right next to the cockpit, and I come out and the flight attendant is standing there with this little lady - she's really short, white, dirty blonde hair. 

'She's like, "Did you see a phone in there?" I turn around and I said, "No, I didn't see anything."'

He said the woman then 'stepped towards him and gestured almost like she was about to frisk him.'

'She says, "Oh, you don't have it?" In front of the plane, [she] flat out accuses me of taking her phone,' he continued.

'At this point, she's a short lady, so I actually scooch - I crouch down, I put my hands on my knees and get down to her level, and I say, "Ma'am, are you telling me I took your phone?" And then she says, "Oh, no, but it was in there."'

T.J. recalled returning to his seat and telling Amy about what had happened.

'Oh you were mad,' she remembered.

He and Amy opened up about the awkward incident during a recent episode of their podcast, Amy & T.J.

T.J. explained that throughout their relationship, Amy has 'witnessed a black man going through the same scenarios but being treated very differently'

An infuriated T.J. then decided to 'sit on the arm rest' so he could watch the situation play out a few rows ahead of him.

And 'sure enough,' he said the woman 'found her phone in her seat somewhere' moments later.

'Now, she turns to me, mortified, and screams across the five rows, "I'm so sorry,"' the ex news anchor revealed, as Amy interjected, 'Sorry just doesn't cut it at that point.' 

T.J. explained that throughout their relationship, Amy has 'witnessed a black man going through the same scenarios but being treated very differently.'

'I had to be calm. If there weren't more people around, I don't think I would have bent down or would have been as assertive as I was,' he added.

'Because I wouldn't have a witness [to say] that I wasn't aggressive towards her or whatever it may be. But that was a wild flight experience.'

The couple said the flight attendant 'apologized profusely' and told them the lady had 'been difficult.' 

'That's something only certain people would be exposed to,' Amy concluded.
