It looks like it is back to rehab for Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

Just days after allegations of a drunken tirade in New York at JFK airport, a spokesperson has confirmed that Jonathan will be checking into rehab for alcohol addiction.

He is said to have screamed abuse at airport staff when they banned him from getting on a plane because he was drunk.

United Airlines staff barred him from boarding, which resulted in the actor launching a foul-mouthed tirade, according to reports.

The incident is believed to have been the final straw for his girlfriend, heiress Reena Hammer, who is said to have told him: "Check into rehab or I'm dumping you."
