Lily Allen reveals ‘extremely heavy few weeks’ after social media ban

A group of British travellers have been escorted off a plane after behaviour so bad the plane had to make an emergency landing.
The easyJet flight from Gatwick was on its way to Marrakech, Morocco, when two of the men – part of a stag do – became abusive.
Despite being given six warnings, they continued to vape and drink heavily and abuse the crew.
Passenger Arron Davies said: ‘They were being abusive towards staff on the flight and I think they had an undertone of homophobia toward the head steward.
‘They were being loud and using a lot of bad language despite children being on the flight.’
In the end, the captain decided to kick them off and landed the plane at Faro, Portugal – 632 miles from their intended destination.
Police marched the group off the plane.
Arron added: ‘The four friends [they were with] were annoyed that their two mates had ruined their trip.

He also praised the member of cabin crew who received the most abuse for his professionalism and composure.
Once they had been kicked off the flight, the plane continued to Marrakech.
An easyJet spokesperson said: ‘Our cabin crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and acted quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers was not compromised at any time.
‘The safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew is always easyJet’s priority and we do not tolerate abusive or threatening behaviour onboard.’
Stag dos continue to blight budget airlines.
Last year, six people were arrested in Tenerife after a stag party fight broke out on a Ryanair plane.
On another easyJet flight in 2018, a stag do was kicked off the flight because they ‘treated the plane like a nightclub’.
Meanwhile in 2016, a stag do of 11 men forced a Ryanair plane to divert to Berlin because they were all so drunk.
