An easyJet flight carrying TOWIE cast members and their luggage was grounded because it was too heavy to take off.
The plane flying from Southend to Malaga, Spain at the weekend was delayed after it was not allowed to take off due to carrying 200kgs of extra weight.
Cast members were heading to Marbella for a 10-day trip being filmed for a summer special of the ITV2 series.
The captain made an announcement to passengers, explaining that the flight was overweight, and that he could not take off unless four people left the flight, reports the Daily Mail.
Four female passengers volunteered after being offered a taxi transfer to Luton for another flight and £100 each.
A spokesman for easyJet said: "Like all airlines, easyJet’s flights have weight restrictions based on a number of different variables for safety reasons.
"In the event that a flight does exceed its weight limit, we ask for passengers to volunteer to transfer to another flight which is what happened on this occasion."
