Ricky Hatton asks ‘who hasn’t done this on holiday?’ after being filmed falling over in Tenerife
RICKY HATTON has reassured fans he is "all good" after being filmed falling over in Tenerife and asked: "Who hasn't done that on holiday?"
The former light-welterweight and welterweight world champion, 40, was filmed dancing with his shirt over his head while on a family trip to the Canary Island.

Other holidaymakers at the Dubliner Irish Pub can be seen taking pictures and videos of the boxer comically falling to the floor.
When he stands back up, someone pulls Hatton's shirt down and he continues dancing to Lionel Richie's 1983 hit All Night Long.
The Hitman posted a message on Instagram today filling in his followers on what he had been up to.
He wrote: "Just a message re this c**p in the papers to my friends and fans as I'm sure they might be concerned.
"I went to Tenerife for 10 nights. Went out six nights, stayed in four nights.
"Had my girls for three days and spent the vast majority with my whole family. Look on my Insta.
"It just so happens I fell on my a**e p***ed one night. Jesus who hasn't done that on holiday?
'WHO HASN'T DONE THAT ON HOLIDAY?'
"I use [sic] to fall one me a**e every night.
"Need to get rid of that belly though. All good. The hitman."
Hatton's clip emerged as it was revealed he has finally ended his nine-year feud with his parents.
And the Hitman has opened up on the crushing lows of his career, which included trying to take his own life after his 2007 defeat to Floyd Mayweather.
The British boxing legend had a massive bust-up with dad Ray and mum Carol nearly a decade ago over money.
That led to a car-park punch up with his father in which Hatton - who ended up clocking his dad with a left to end the fight - said he walked away "in bits".
But it was another heartbreaking moment that ended with Hatton extending an olive branch to his parents.

They eventually made up on a night out at Manchester restaurant San Carlo in February, with Hatton, alongside girlfriend Charlie, posing for a photo with his mum and dad.
Hatton told the Manchester Evening News: "Ultimately when I fell out with my parents, I hit rock bottom. I didn't care whether I lived or died to be honest with you.
"A few of my school friends are the same age as me, their parents were having heart attacks and I was going to their funerals.

"And I thought to myself 'I'm 40 now, I'm at an age where our parents might not be here much longer'.
"So if their parents are getting ill and passing away and all that, it's not going to be long before mine go.
"I just made the effort to think 'listen you know, let bygones be bygones, leave things in the past. That's it'."
