Moment fists fly as huge fight breaks out at Benidorm swimming pool with brawlers plunging into the water in front of shocked tourists
Footage shows the scuffle unfolding on the poolside of a hotel in the Spanish holiday hot-spot.
Two men wearing swimming trunks are shown being brutally slammed by a man dressed in all black, while another man in a white T-shirt is seen targeting another sunbather.
As the video goes on, more men join in on the bust-up, targeting the man in white, which results in him suddenly being thrown into the pool.
He quickly emerges and pushes a man into the water in retaliation, while his pal dressed in black continues to square up to a group of sunbathers.
A separate angle of the bust-up shows the man in black being savagely pushed into the water by a man in blue swimming trunks.
But when he gets out of the pool he begins to throw a violent flurry of punches and kicks while a group of men retaliate.
An England flag can be see hanging in the background with the words 'Ash's Stag 2025, but it is unclear whether the men involved are British, or why the fight broke out in the first place
A violent fight erupted at a Benidorm hotel swimming pool which saw brawlers being pushed into the water

The clip has gone viral on social media, and has racked up nearly 300,000 views on TikTok at the time of writing.
Some viewers have expressed shock at the behaviour of the sun-seekers, while others have found humour in the bizarre incident.
Several social media users have also suspected that the men involved are British.
'How embarrassing...say no more, it's Benidorm', one social media user wrote.
Another commented: 'These lot are an absolute embarrassment'.
'Quite possibly the worst (but best) scrap ever', a third joked.
The violent punch-up in Benidorm comes just a month after a British tourist was brutally sucker-punched by a Spanish local after getting caught up in a brawl with bouncers in the Spanish resort.
Footage taken by a fellow bar-goer shows the unnamed Brit being slammed onto the floor by another man in Benidorm.
According to an eyewitness, the man and his group were asked to leave the unknown bar by another reveller before a bouncer intervened and things got 'heated.'
The Brit, who is dressed in white, can be seen being shoved by a group of men, while his friend steps in.
As the exchange escalates, video shows the man being brutally punched in the face and falling on the floor, as his leg bends backwards towards his hip.
A woman wearing a pink cowboy hat rushes to his aid and crouches over him, as a group of men continue to scuffle with the bouncers.
An onlooker said: 'It's always the d***head Brits - it makes you ashamed to be a Brit sometimes.
'We'd been in there for two hours or so - it seemed a nice bar and all of a sudden we heard a bit of a commotion.
'There was a smaller guy who we think was a local and he looked like a bouncer but looked a bit too small to be one.
'He was asking them to leave, and then the larger bouncer came over and things got a bit heated.
'It looks like the smaller guy then knocks him out.
'He was out cold, and his leg looked dislocated.'
The condition of the Brit who was floored in the Benidorm bar fight was not known.

Sommeliers and wine experts reveal the best Whispering Angel rosé alternatives
Cited as boosting the worldwide rosé market, Whispering Angel has won itself a loyal legion of sippers, thanks to attractive marketing, subtle flavouring and A-lister approval. Produced deep in Provence, the coveted pale vino became the most talked-about tipple of 2021 after Adele told US Vogue that her supermarket runs during lockdown consisted of ketchup and the cult wine. 'Whispering Angel turned me into a barking dog. It did not make me whisper,' said the singer when referring to her favourite plonk. A blend of cinsaut, grenache and vermentino grapes, the wine is loved for being very pale and very dry, with subtle flavours of orange, red fruits and a little dried herbs and spice. But with a price tag of £25, it's one of the more upmarket rosés on store shelves. True to form, supermarkets like Aldi and Asda have been quick to develop alternatives that don't merely nod to the OG but appear carbon copy (the former boasts a similarly italicised label while the latter is wryly called Screaming Devil). Elsewhere, sommeliers namecheck Miravel and Leoube (both cost less than £18) while wine enthusiasts on TikTok love M&S's la balconne and Lidl's breath of paradise bottle. 'Whispering Angel is a great wine, as is its more refined offering,' says wine writer Katie Brook. 'But are we paying for quality or a name?' In a bid to help you keep costs down ahead of your next summertime soirée or wine-fueled dinner party, I went to the experts. I asked them to share their favourite affordable alternatives to Whispering Angel. What to look for in a Whispering Angel alternative "I always recommend looking to the regions in and around Whispering Angel's home, the southern French Mediterranean region of Provence – so look for labels that say Languedoc, Pays D'Oc, IGP Méditerranée or Corsica,' says The Independent 's weekly wine columnist, Rosamund Hall. By looking in these regions, 'you'll find wines made using similar grapes. They'll have a familiar appearance and taste: delicate pale dusty-pinks with aromas of fresh summer berried fruits, hints of orange zest, and of course a beautiful, uplifting acidity', she explains. Lucy Hitchcock, the wine enthusiast behind the @Partnerinwineuk social media account, explains: 'The peculiar thing is, a lot of the Whispering Angel 'dupes' that are popping up now, are actually Sainte Victoire Cotes du Provence rosés.' This region has recently become the first 'cru' of Côtes de Provence, noted for its distinctive terroir. 'Sainte Victoire is a very specific quality area of Côtes de Provence, with a specific microclimate producing beautifully balanced grapes,' Hitchcock adds. For those looking for a swap-out Provencial rosé, Emilee Tombs, wine writer and assistant travel editor at The Independent, suggests the Loire Valley. 'While it might not offer better value, rosé wines from this area of northwest France have a similar dry, crisp style with red fruit and citrus notes.' Meet the experts Lucy Hitchcock is the wine enthusiast behind the @Partnerinwineuk social media account. She has nearly 100k on Instagram and 65k on TikTok, with her reviews of Aldi or M&S bottles regularly going viral. Emilee Tombs is assistant travel editor at The Independent and holds a WSET Level 3 Award in Wines from the Wine and Spirits Education Trust. She has written for a number of wine publications, from Noble Rot to Ocado Life magazine. Katie Brook is a journalist with a specialism in wine and a decade of experience as a wine reviewer. She is the founder of Run To Wine, a London- and Surrey-based running club that ends its sessions with a wine tasting. Rosamund Hall is a writer, presenter and columnist specialising in wine and spirits. She is The Independent 's weekly wine columnist with 'The Wine Down' and writer of the best rosé wines. Tom Gilbey started winemaking at age 23, then became an importer, wine merchant, and advisor. He shares his recommendations on his website, as well as to his 666k followers on Instagram and 218k on TikTok, aiming to demystify the world of wine.

Bullseye creator in clever business move that could make him a fortune after success of ITV reboot
THE creator of darts game show Bullseye is cashing in with a new range of merchandise. The 1980s telly classic has landed new fans thanks to an ITV reboot. 2 2 Andrew Wood has now applied to trademark the name across everything from aftershave and jewellery to clothing and chocolates. The original consolation prize merchandise given away on the show was a tankard for men or silver goblet for women, a bendy rubber doll of the show's brown bull mascot 'Bully' and chalk holders. Mr Wood's paperwork was lodged on July 9. It extends to mobile phone apps and computer games — an avenue that could generate huge income for his Bullseye Group Ltd. Quirkier options covered by the trademark include sandwich toasters, fairy lights, laundry bins, berets and cuticle clippers. Trademarks have not, however, been sought for the show's star prizes of speedboats or caravans. Bullseye originally ran for 13 series under host Jim Bowen from 1981-1996. ITV revived the much-loved show last year for a Christmas special, hosted by Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff and following a spike in interest in darts led by teen sensation Luke Littler. Following rave reviews for Freddie's efforts, ITV has commissioned a full run which will air this year. Freddie said: 'I love the darts. Bullseye was one of my favourite shows as a kid. You can't beat a bit of Bully!'

Starmer is in the rough. Could Cameron get him out?
US President Donald Trump is in Scotland to visit his golf courses and meet Sir Keir Starmer, despite the fact that our PM does not play golf. Perhaps David Cameron can help? The former Conservative prime minister teamed up with former Irish prime minister Enda Kenny in the Pro-Am Senior Open at Sunningdale with three-time golf major winner Padraig Harrington – and won. 'I am doing my bit for Anglo-Irish relations,' Cameron tells me, describing Kenny, 74, as 'a canny golfer – like Trump.' Cameron, 58, famously played golf with Barack Obama when the former US president visited the UK in 2016. Both have improved their handicaps since then. 'When I played Obama he was a 14 and I was a 21 – I've made it to 15 but he's gone all the way to six.' There is life after politics, at least on the golf course. Barry's friends Labour MP Barry Gardiner has proved to be an unlikely hit with GB News viewers due to his regular appearances on the channel. He tells me that so far he has been sent 'one tie, a key ring and a bottle opener' in the post from viewers, and even one proposal of marriage. He accepted the first three, and declined the fourth, which must be a relief to Mrs Gardiner, a noted poet. Gyles's toothpaste An update from the bathroom of Gyles Brandreth. 'I regard my bathroom mirror as my enemy, not my friend,' the 77-year-old TV presenter tells The Oldie magazine. 'That's why I tend not to have the lights full-on when I'm brushing my teeth. And that's why the other night I squeezed Voltarol instead of toothpaste on to my toothbrush. I know I must be getting older. I couldn't tell the difference.' Ministers' latitude It's a big festival weekend, not least the thousands who are attending Latitude in Suffolk. I hear one group of Labour ministers are hiring a house nearby so they can get to listen to the music and sleep in a comfortable bed each night. For the few, not the many. Brandon's healthy approach Actress Glynis Barber, 69, has an enthusiastic interest in wellbeing and anti-ageing; her actor husband Michael Brandon, 80, doesn't. The pair co-starred in 1980s cop TV series Dempsey & Makepeace. Barber says: 'He literally has no interest whatsoever. However, he has the benefit of living with me. So I have foisted organic food on him. I read boring articles on the benefits of a certain supplement or the latest findings of what fat does to the body. [But] he just glazes over, tries to listen and then literally falls asleep.' Arise Lord Norris? Former Conservative minister Steven Norris has led a 'frankly ridiculous life', his son Harry declared in an affectionate speech at a dinner to celebrate his father's 80th birthday this week. 'Not many people can say they've been shot at beside President Carter, taken the late Queen on her first Thames Clipper ride or been kissed by both Yasser Arafat and Hugh Grant,' said Harry. Norris Snr, who was also Tory candidate for London mayor in 2000 and 2004, has inexplicably never been rewarded with a peerage. He responded to Harry's speech by inviting his friends to his 90th birthday party in 10 years' time. Ozzy and Tony
