A former Geordie Shore cast member was removed from a Jet2 flight after getting into a drunken row with fellow passengers on the weekend.
Grant Coulson, who once claimed he was “too famous to work”, was reportedly travelling from Newcastle to Antalya, Turkey to get a hair transplant and his teeth fixed.

He told The Sun : “I was on the flight heading to Turkey to get my teeth fixed and get a hair transplant. People were shouting ‘Too famous to fly’ at me and had their phones out. I’d had a few drinks and was being wound up.

“The plane doors were shut and we were moving but the crew decided to stop and eject me.
“I probably shouldn’t have reacted and should have just ignored it. But I don’t see what I’ve done to be ashamed of. As far as I’m concerned the haters can go to hell.”
An eye-witness reportedly said a group of passengers recognised Coulson and began to mock him for using social welfare towards his plastic surgery procedures.
According to reports, all passengers involved in the incident were under the influence.
As the Jet2 flight attendants could not diffuse the situation, Coulson was removed from the plane and rebooked on another flight.
“I’m only claiming what’s rightfully mine” Coulson said about the accusations.
“I’m not breaking any laws and I needed to undergo this surgery to increase my confidence.”
