This is the horrifying moment an undercover reporter who pretended to be drunk was forced to escape after a group of local men said they would ‘go for it’ when they spotted her alone on the beach of Magaluf in the early hours of the morning.
Journalist Ellie Flynn went undercover for the new film ‘Magaluf Undercover: Predators and Parties’ to expose the ‘predatory underbelly’ of the Mallorca tourist hotspot.

Ellie tells him no again, and the man appears to leave.
