'Fat' people told to move on planePassengers on a half-empty plane were shocked when an air hostess asked for eight 'fat' people to move.

The eight passengers were asked to move to the front of the plane as the captain was unhappy with weight distribution in the cabin.

Peter Harrison who was on the Britannia Airways flight from Tenerife to Gatwick said: "She said there were too many passengers at the back of the plane and she needed eight fat people sat in rows 31 to 42 to sit nearer the front."

Peter, from Borehamwood, Herts, was not in those rows but said he felt awkward because he weighs 24 stone.

According to The Sun he added: "She was staring straight at me. At the time I thought it was funny but it must have been quite humiliating for anyone large in those rows. In the end eight people got up and shuffled forward before we took off. It can't have been nice for them."

How horrible. I can't imagine how rude some people can be. She could have worded it differently so as not to offend people.
