This is the moment passengers on a Jet2 flight erupted into applause as police detained a man after a row with others onboard saw the flight to Alicante diverted back to the UK.

The incident happened on a Jet2 flight which had taken off as normal at 6.41pm last night to fly 1,100 miles to the Spanish resort of Alicante.

But the Boeing 737 had only made it 100 miles from Leeds Bradford to Leicester when the captain announced he was turning around due to 'a disruptive incident on board'.

The man, who was wearing an orange T shirt and jeans, was led away by uniformed police after the furore on the flight to the Costa Blanca - which ended up delaying as many as 188 other passengers by four hours.

The plane safely touched back down at Leeds airport where it had taken off from just 40 minutes earlier.
