A drunken mum and her two young kids were escorted off a flight after she demanded more booze.

The shameless mother, and five other adults, were carted off the plane to the sound of applause after passengers were made to wait for two hours for their flight from Tenerife to London Gatwick yesterday.

The woman, in her 20s, was earlier spotted drinking in the airport bar, before getting into a row at the gate about being a "benefits mum," according to a witness.

She then raged from her seat: "I work for my money. I've got a proper job."

Cabin crew on the Airbus A320 warned her she would not be served alcohol - but she kicked off,according to The Sun.

She said: "I've paid for my flight and I know I am entitled to it."

But the pilot ordered her and the five other adults in the party off the BA 2731 flight, prompting a round of applause from frustrated passengers.

'One passenger from Reading said: "It was appalling behaviour" while another passenger questioned BA on why the woman was allowed on the flight in the first place.

James Griffiths wrote on Twitter: "Delayed due to drunk being removed from flight."Bigger question though, why crew let her on?'" He later deleted his tweet, writing: "Had a very prompt response from local team yesterday and now happy."

A British Airways spokesman said: "Our customers and crew deserve to enjoy their flights, without any form of disruption.

"This sort of behaviour will not be tolerated, and the appropriate action will always be taken​."We are sorry to our customers for the short delay on this flight."
