CHILD TWICE FELL TO FLOOR OF PLANE AFTER COUPLE DRANK VODKA WHEN FLIGHT TO CRETE WAS DELAYED

- HARRISON GAILLIVEN

A DRUNK mum dropped her baby as she and her boyfriend were being thrown off a holiday jet following a five-hour vodka binge.

Nurse Beth Jones, 27, was so intoxicated after consuming duty-free spirts, the little girl slipped out of her hands as she was being passed to her across an aisle seat by Kieran Cunnah.

The child whose age is not known burst into tears when she was dropped but was uninjured in the incident.

Flight attendants confronted the pair as they took their seats on the TUI flight - but Cunnah, 30, who was also drunk threw money at them and said: "How much do you want from us? We're poor.

"How much do you want b***h?" They were eventually escorted off the Crete-bound flight as it was due to head out from Manchester Airport with 200 passengers on board.

It emerged the couple had been drinking heavily in the departure lounge after their flight was delayed.

At Tameside Magistrates court, Jones from Mossley and Cunnah, from Cheshire admitted being drunk on an aircraft and child neglect.
