EasyJet flight delayed because two cabin crew hated each other so much they REFUSED to fly together
The live tweets captured the drama of the delayed flight with two members taken off the flight
A ROW between two EasyJet cabin crew grounded a flight for more than an hour with the argument reportedly over unpacking water bottles.
The fight between the cabin crew, believed to be between a man and a woman, was captured in live tweets from Dan Lobb, a retired British tennis player and a television presenter best known for presenting the ITV Breakfast program DayBreak.
Taking to Twitter, he wrote: "This is a first. My @easyJet flight has returned to gate because the cabin crew have had a tiff! 1 crew member being offloaded. Delayed."
He has since claimed that the fight had escalated over "unpacking water bottles or something like that".
The initial tweet which captured the drama was followed by a string of tweets from Lobb, who wrote the flight had been delayed because "a couple of crew members don't get on".
He labelled the fight "utterly crazy".
The flight, headed for Belfast, was delayed for at least an hour.
Lobb, who said he was on the flight for work, said the plane doors had been opened with three cabin crew members in the cockpit having a meeting.
A cabin crew member was even forced to make an announcement over the plane's loud speaker, explaining the reason for the delay.
Two crew members were eventually offloaded with replacement crew believed to have been brought on board.

The TV presenter later tweeted: "Some more context for you - these @easyJet crew only had to get through ONE day together in order to avoid this. A 1 hour flight to Belfast."
He also tweeted the captain begged the cabin to "please be patient with us" with travellers being offered water.
He said: "This is quite incredible. We've all worked with people we don't get on with right? But this tiff means a 1 hr flight is delayed!!"
He clarified the fight: "They just don't like each other!! A disagreement over unwrapping water bottles or something!!"
Other passengers took to Twitter with @disclosure writing: "2 of the cabin crew have a fight and the whole flight has to wait on the tarmac to unload them and get new ones. Insane!"
EasyJet has since replied to one of the traveller's tweets, writing: "Hi guys, sorry you had to witness that :( Can you pls tell me your flight number, so we can check what's happening? Ty. Daiana."
Ending the tweets, Dobb said the original crew started doing a safety briefing ready for their new departure time.
Signing off, he wrote: "Right, one of the original crew is doing a safety briefing. Time to change mode. I hope we've all learned something here today."
EasyJet has been approached for comment.
