Couple blasted for ‘gross' behaviour on four hour flight
TikTok's latest in-flight drama does not involve crying babies or a drunk passenger; it involves two loved-up travellers, one Ryanair aisle, and a whole lot of public affection.
TikTok user Harry Marjoram was heading to Greece when he found himself across the aisle from a sight he and his partner won't forget.
In a now-viral video, Harry's partner, described as Slavic and 'not a fan of PDA', was seated next to a couple putting on a four-hour performance of the high-altitude variety.
'When my Slavic girlfriend, who hates PDA, meets the PDA Final Boss on a 4-hour flight to Greece,' he wrote in the caption, alongside photos of the amorous pair.
The woman is seen straddling her partner's lap, facing toward Harry's girlfriend with her feet tucked casually onto the seat.
'Nothing beats a Ryanair holiday!' he added.
The couple's face was blurred, but their positioning spoke volumes, and not everyone was on board.
While some commenters saw nothing but a pair of travellers madly in love.
'I only see a couple in love', one user wrote.
'I always sleep on my boyfriend the whole way somewhere, and if you have a problem, I will shove my foot up ur face,' one user defended, whilst also helpfully illustrating the issue.
Another insisted, 'If you could be comfy, you would too'.
However, others were far less charmed but the pair's behaviour and the majority of the 10 million viewers weren't feeling the love.
'This is so disgusting and disrespectful,' one user commented.
'I would pay extra to sit next to a screaming baby rather than risk this,' said another.
And perhaps the most telling comment, 'Where are the Karens when you need them?!'.
Some noted that they were fine with a handhold or a peck, but a full body snuggle session mid-flight when you are already shoulder to shoulder with others for an extended amount of time, maybe not.
It's unclear whether flight attendants intervened or quietly looked the other way, but the internet's verdict was clear: love is in the air.

Prince Harry denies ‘physical fight' with Prince Andrew
Prince Harry has strongly denied a shocking new claim from a forthcoming book that he once got into a physical altercation with his uncle, Prince Andrew. The allegation appears in the first joint biography of Andrew and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, written by acclaimed royal biographer Andrew Lownie. According to Lownie, a 'heated argument' erupted between Harry and Andrew during a family gathering in 2013, triggered by 'something Andrew said behind Harry's back.' The confrontation allegedly escalated to the point where 'punches were thrown,' leaving Andrew with a bloody nose. Lownie also claims that Andrew, behind closed doors, voiced scepticism about Harry's relationship with actress Meghan Markle, allegedly calling her an 'opportunist' and predicting that the marriage wouldn't last. Harry has firmly shut down these explosive claims. 'I can confirm neither of those things are true,' a spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex told People. 'Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight, nor did Prince Andrew ever make those comments about the Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry.' In the biography, which portrays Andrew as a divisive figure and examines his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Lownie also claims that Prince William has privately expressed strong disapproval of the disgraced royal. It is understood that the heir to the throne has been quietly working on removing the Duke of York from the Royal Lodge, the Windsor estate he still occupies. However, Andrew reportedly presented King Charles with documentation showing he is legally entitled to stay in the property, effectively ending the push to evict him. The new claims follow speculation that Harry is making fresh overtures to his estranged family, with some describing his latest actions as the clearest sign yet that the Duke of Sussex wants back in. In what royal insiders say is a bid to ease tensions, Harry has quietly offered to share his official diary with Buckingham Palace. The proposed transparency move is intended to avoid scheduling conflicts with the royal family and stamp out claims that the Sussexes are competing for attention. Some palace watchers see it as a genuine attempt at diplomacy. The Duke and King last met in February, shortly after King Charles' diagnosis. If Prince Harry's calendar-sharing strategy works, the next meeting could be on friendlier terms.

Aussie makes shock discovery inside online clothing order
An Aussie shopper claims she made a bizarre discovery while opening a parcel she ordered from a well-known online store. Deana Cannatelli purchased a jacket from popular fashion retailer The Iconic's website after a lengthy wait for the garment to be restocked. She said her excitement for the parcel's arrival quickly turned to disappointment when she noticed the clothing item was scrunched up inside the packaging. 'I ordered a jacket from The Iconic that I have been wanting for a very long time as it's been out of stock, and on Sunday it was finally back in stock, it said one left so I ordered it straight away,' she explained. 'I received it yesterday and I have gone to try it on this morning and I could tell by the packaging it was a return because it was inside out and it was bent, it just wasn't put back in properly.' Cannatelli claims her suspicions were confirmed when she tried on the jacket to find a hair ribbon in one of the pockets along with a very unexpected item — a set of car keys. 'I've gone to try it on, and it had pockets so of course I put my hands in the pockets, and somebody's car keys has come out of the pocket, so obviously it has been worn and there was also a hair ribbon in there.' If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your . To find out more about how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Guide. Unhappy with the condition of the item, she made a public appeal on TikTok, claiming she was unsuccessful in her attempt to contact the retailer. 'I've tried to reach out to The Iconic and I am talking to a bot and I can't talk to a human. 'I just feel like I don't want to be walking around wearing somebody's jacket that has been used and worn before, it's all creased and bent and had someone's keys in it.' Deana Cannatelli with the car keys she found in her online order. Credit: TikTok Cannatelli is hopeful some sense will be made of the conundrum so she is able to reunite the Mazda car keys with its owner. 'I don't know how they haven't realised they are missing their keys, and how The Iconic didn't check the return before sending it,' she said. 'If anyone has bought and returned a green jacket from The Iconic, the brand Lover, I have your car keys.' PerthNow has contacted The Iconic for comment.

Veronica B calls for more respect for influencers
An influencer who faced backlash for her comments about how hard her job is has doubled down on her stance, calling for more respect for content creators. Veronica B went viral last year, being told to 'touch grass' and get back in touch with reality after she claimed being an influencer was harder than her previous role working in events. Last week, she released a song called Touch Grass about what went down, and invited every Australian influencer she knew to a secret event in Sydney. Many assumed it would be to promote her song but when she took to the stage, Veronica said: 'The real reason you're all here tonight is for us to hit back.' She said she was 'sick and tired' of influencers being treated 'like a joke'. 'We deserve more rights and we deserve to be taken seriously,' she said, which was met with a huge cheer from the audience. 'You know why? Because it's hard work.' Veronica, who has nearly 600,000 followers on TikTok, said she 'doesn't know how the world would survive' said without influencers and content creators. She said people wouldn't know where to eat, how to do their makeup or what to wear without content creators. At one point, it was suggested influencers all unite in not posting until more respect was given. 'I've decided to start an Australian influencer union,' she said, adding that influencers did need to stay humble. 'People think this is all a joke but it's not and it's about time we do get respect and appreciation for all that we do,' she said at the event Wednesday night. 'TikTok has already overtaken Google as the biggest search engine for Gen Z when they're want to find somewhere to eat or visit or anything and it's our content driving that. That's the influence we have.' On the night, several influencers shared their thoughts on the narrative that being a content creator wasn't a 'real job' or that it 'wasn't hard work'. Jasmin Mitwali was asked if she thought she worked harder than a teacher or a doctor, she said, 'Honestly I do.' 'It's a different type of work. You have to stay relevant and come up with content all the time. 'It's not just scrolling. You really have to do the work behind the scenes.' Dani Russell, one half of Dani and Blake, said that influencers didn't need more respect from the public but 'more understanding'. Isaias Vego said being a content creator was 'not easy'. He said coming up with ideas and editing was hard, but he didn't pay attention to haters because 'they want to be us'. Yisra said 'any work was hard' and if you were complaining about other people's work you need to 'fix yourself'. Video of Veronica's speech has landed online, and people have had a lot to say about it. 'This has to be rage bait,' one person said. Another added: 'There are people dying Kim!' One asked if she was being serious, while another social media user bluntly commented: 'Get a real job.' Nicole Reaney, PR Expert and CEO InsideOut Public Relations, said this 'wasn't an ideal approach'. 'Influencers rely on their personal brands and popularity to generate social communities and brand interest,' Ms Reaney said. 'Deliberately provoking 'the hand that feeds you' can tarnish an image. Particularly when brands conduct digital audits ahead of scoping potential influencer partners.' She said that mega influencers are attracting as much as $10,000 for a single post — but this can quickly come undone if they are involved in controversy. 'Influencers are easily mocked as there are some public community groups that perceive their role as inferior to traditional jobs,' she said. 'However the influencer market is on the rise. The market is set to be worth $1257 million by 2028 — as brands recognise that peer reviews and agile content drives word of mouth and brand trial. More than half of young consumers will purchase a product showcased by an influencer. There is a humanistic element to them versus traditional celebrities.' She said if influencers truly wanted to shift perceptions, a good start would be becoming more conscious of the personal brand they represent, and elevate what is happening behind the scenes.
