BA crew mistakenly booked into sex dungeon as they spot grim detail in room

BA crew mistakenly booked into sex dungeon as they spot grim detail in room

Daily Mirror20-06-2025
Members of a British Airways cabin crew team found themselves in a mortifying situation after being accidentally being checked into a sex hotel, complete with an anatomically detailed tub
Crew members aboard a British Airways flight endured a seriously awkward night, after a booking blunder saw them being checked into a sex dungeon.
While in the stylish Italian city of Milan, it had been decided that the colleagues would spend the night at the Motel Mo.om, a popular modern hotel with good transport links.

Unfortunately, in what has been described as a "comical mistake", the team reportedly found themselves bedding down for the night at the similarly named Mo. om Hotel. Although at a glance, the names of these hotels appear almost indistinguishable, this is where any comparisons end.

It soon became clear to the crew that this was no ordinary establishment, as they took in the bondage-themed beds and vagina-shaped spa tub. And if these features didn't drive the point home, the incessant "moaning and groaning" from fellow patrons certainly did.
A source told The Sun: "Crew were booked into a pay-by-the-hour sex hotel last Thursday. They were confronted with bondage sets, mirrored ceilings, human dog cages and leather harnesses. It was obvious that this wasn't the place the crew was supposed to stay."
Although there are humorous elements to the mishap, this sleeping situation was decidedly less than ideal for airline staff, for whom adequate rest is imperative.
As the source explained: "It was a comical mistake by the hotel booking team, but had serious implications. Some of the team who stayed in the sex dungeon didn't get any sleep, so they couldn't operate on BA services the following day. They were kept awake by thrill seekers moaning and groaning all day and night."

As well as struggling through "constant noise" as a "24 hour orgy" raged on, employees allegedly also had to deal with witnessing "suspicious fluids in their rooms which made their skin crawl".
A British Airways spokesperson told the Mirror: "A small number of crew were moved to unapproved hotel rooms following availability issues with our usual accommodation provider. This happened without our knowledge, and we're urgently investigating to prevent it from taking place again."

It's understood that 12 crew members spent one evening in the unapproved accommodation, due to availability issues with the airline's usual provider.
There was also thankfully no delay to the flight that the staff members had been scheduled to operate, meaning they were able to get back to normal after their unexpected stay.

He was taken to the Italian city as a treat by his boyfriend, Riccardo Gugliermini. As it goes in relationships Ross decided to do something equally as thoughtful in return - and decided to book a trip to Barry in Wales. The pair had become big fans after watching the final episode at Christmas. Ross revealed to What's The Jam that they binged the whole series and as Riccardo had been "quoting it all year" it only felt right to visit. Ross took to social media to document their experience revealing that on the tour, a knock-off version of Nessa welcomes guests on board a coach. And they recite Smithy's very lengthy Indian takeaway order. There's even a group sing-along to gets spirits high, and Riccardo showed off his Pam Shipman top. It turned out not that many people knew about the tour with one commenting on Ross' video: "Omg, I had no idea you could do a Gav and Stace tour with Nessa, this is mint."

'It's part of the fun of being in a multicultural relationship, I'm slowly learning Italian and enjoying his cooking. I've introduced him to Greggs, Yorkshire puddings and a chippy tea. 'I'm also getting him into other British comedy classics, like Outnumbered, Peep Show and The Inbetweeners. But Gavin and Stacey is his favourite." Although Ross admitted that he'd rather do a week in Venice over a day out in Barry, Riccardo disagreed. For anyone who wants to head over to do Barry to do some film location sight-seeing themselves, make sure to visit Trinity Street in Barry is home to the homes of Gwen, Uncle Bryn, and Doris. On Barry Island itself there's the famous Marco's Cafe and the arcade where Nessa worked the slots.

Trendy UK seaside town with miles of golden sand where you can spot celebs

Margate is known for its sandy beaches and charming seaside attractions - but it's also a hotspot for celebrities and has one of the UK's 'coolest' neighbourhoods If you're on the hunt for the perfect weekend getaway, then Margate is a hidden gem that ticks all the boxes. With its stunning beach, vibrant atmosphere, top-notch eateries and refreshing sea breeze, it's an ideal spot for families or couples seeking a romantic mini-break. ‌ While Margate has long been recognised as a seaside retreat, the town of today offers so much more. It's home to a remarkable food scene and a bustling arts community. But fear not - while embracing modern trends, Margate hasn't lost its classic coastal charm. Nowadays, it manages to blend being trendy and artistic with maintaining a traditional British holiday feel. ‌ ‌ ‌ And we can't forget about Margate Main Sands - boasting some of the softest, golden sands spread across 19 miles of breathtaking Kentish coastline. The town's Cliftonville district has been dubbed one of the 'coolest' in the UK, and TimeOut has listed the town among the top places to visit. It's no surprise that Margate has become a hotspot for celebrities and Londoners, leading to a boom in property prices. Keep your eyes peeled and you might spot famous faces such as Lilly Allen, Sam Mendes, Olivia Coleman, and even some cast members from EastEnders. ‌ For unique sights, Margate is the destination, with standout attractions including the Margate Museum, the quirky Crab Museum, the enchanting Shell Grotto, and the underground wonders of Margate Caves. Margate Old Town serves as a charming centre for boutique museums and a diverse collection of shops ranging from vintage to contemporary. Staying true to its heritage as a coastal resort, Margate offers all the classic seaside attractions: plenty of fish and chip establishments, ice cream vendors dotting the seafront, beachside pubs, and opportunities for mini golf. Dreamland, merely a brief stroll from the shore, stands as the retro theme park cherished by families. It boasts classic funfair attractions, stages musical performances, and houses the Scenic Railway – Britain's most ancient wooden rollercoaster. ‌ For visitors wanting fish and chips following a beach day, Peter's Fish Factory at 12 Royal York Mansions in Margate comes highly praised. Yet for those desiring a more upmarket meal, Margate also shines with venues like Angela's and Bottega Caruso, plus emerging favourites including Sargasso and Fort Road Hotel. Selecting standouts proves challenging, yet Sargasso distinguishes itself with its stunning ocean panoramas and recently earned recognition in SquareMeal's Top 100 UK restaurants for 2023, a compilation highlighting the "highest calibre of restaurants" across the country. ‌ Alternatively, you might be drawn to the authentic Italian atmosphere at Bottega Caruso, where you can not only relish cuisine from the proprietor's native Italian village, but also buy fresh pasta, house-made tomato sauce, and other Italian delicacies. They also run pasta-making classes and organise Supper Club nights for a taste of Italy in Britain, reports Cambridgeshire Live. Those seeking a cultural adventure should make the Turner Contemporary gallery a priority, featuring diverse art exhibitions that rival London's cultural scene. Guests can join guided tours and activities or unwind in the café whilst taking in harbour vistas. If you're planning a weekend getaway, don't miss Margate's spectacular four-acre tidal pool, located just 1.4 miles from Margate Main Sands. The Walpole Bay Tidal Pool, beloved by swimmers and families year-round, is Britain's largest and also boasts "fresh water springs rising from the beach" within its boundaries. It's an ideal spot to soak up the sea air and enjoy a dip or simply lounge beside the water.

Tiny Italian island set to be ‘turned into oasis' to escape hoards of tourists

Plus, Expedia's top 10 holiday islands across the globe ISLE GO Tiny Italian island set to be 'turned into oasis' to escape hoards of tourists Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TINY Italian island could be turned into an 'oasis' for locals to be able to find somewhere quieter, away from holidaymakers. A group of local activists have raised around €460,000 (£401,000) in funds to win the lease for Poveglia - a tiny uninhabited island just off of Venice. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Poveglia is a tiny unhabited island just off of Venice Credit: Alamy 5 And a local group of activists are hoping to transform it into an urban oasis Credit: Alamy The activist group Poveglia per Tutti (Poveglia for Everyone) will take over the island next month and intend to turn the island into a small haven. This includes regenerating the northern part of the island "transforming it into a lagoon urban park open to citizens and ­respectful of the ecosystem and the landscape elements that characterise the lagoon", the University of Verona said, according to The Times. However, there will be some challenges in transforming the island, as it currently has no electrical or water supply. And there is also no pier with access for boats either. One of the main parts of the island is the kitchen garden, which used to grow a variety of peaches, but has now been left to run wild. One of the founders of Poveglia for Everyone, Patrizia Veclani, told The Times: "Nature has reclaimed it. But with the advice of botanists we are considering what appropriate plants can be reinstated." She added that it is important that the island is returning to the city, "rather than becoming the umpteenth luxury hotel". The group will pay just over €1,000 (£871) a year for the island on a six-year lease. The island itself is split by two canals and according to National Geographic, over 1,000 people died on the island over the centuries and were buried in plague pits. Later, it was turned into a mental hospital that eventually closed in 1968 - with the island being vacant since. 7 TOURIST DESTINATIONS - EVERGREEN LISTICLE Few buildings remain on the island, and even fewer fully intact. A church still stands, as does the hospital, asylum, a bell-tower, housing and some administrative buildings. The bell-tower is the most visible and dates back to the 12th century. It used to belong to the church of San Vitale - which was demolished under Napoleon's orders in 1806. The tower was then re-used as a lighthouse. As a result of this extensive history, the island is often featured on paranormal shows as well. The island was then first put up for lease over a decade ago when the Italian state auctioned a 99-year lease of Poveglia. 5 The only remaining buildings on the island include the church and hositpal Credit: Alamy 5 The group of activities will pay just over €1,000 a year for the lease Credit: Getty The island was to remain as state property, to raise revenue and the hope was that the buyer would transform the hospital into a luxury hotel. At the time, the highest bid came from Italian businessman Luigi Brugnaro for €513,000 (£447,000). Initially, the businessman planned to invest €20million (£17.4million) in a restoration plan but the lease did not go ahead as his project did not meet all the conditions for the island. Whilst Brugnaro decided to fight the cancellation of the lease, he eventually dropped this and all intentions for developing the island when he became Mayor of Venice. Then in 2015, Poveglia for Everyone emerged and hoped to raise €25-30million (£21.8-£26.1million) to develop the island to include a public park, a marina, a restaurant, a hostel and a study centre. Around 30million people visit Venice each year and a €5 (£4.36) charge was introduced last year to deter visitors. Cruise ships were also banned in 2021, and now dock on the mainland at Marghera or at Ravenna.
