This is the shocking moment two allegedly drunk holiday-makers were thrown off an easyJet flight - a budget airline in the UK.

The duo had reportedly boozed on duty-free vodka on the plane from Tenerife South in Spain to London Gatwick at 2am.

Video shows the pair being removed by three police officers as their fellow passengers cheered.

Witnesses claim the pair were “rowdy” throughout the flight before the cops were called.

The passenger who filmed their walk of shame told MailOnline: “A police officer emptied the passenger’s handbag onto the tarmac and a 1 litre vodka bottle that appeared to be almost empty fell out.

“They were both in a bad way.”
