A source told the Sun: ‘There was a lot of pushing and shoving and then fists started flying.

Holly Walton and Lauren Bray have both been fired from the airline after the clip appeared on TikTok.

They claimed Ms Bray reported the colleague to Sussex Police – and said they uploaded the video to TikTok and maliciously linked Ms Bray’s name to it.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Ms Bray’s friend said she will appeal her dismissal – and accused BA of making a ‘hasty decision’ without conducting a proper investigation.
‘The video is fake. It is a fake TikTok account,” said the source close to her. “It’s all false and has nothing to do with Lauren.
‘The fragment and photos that were manipulated are from 2019 and 2022.’
