Beautician sacked via WhatsApp after drunk Christmas party joke wins £12,000 for unfair dismissal

Chrissie Lickfold mocked a junior staff member's breasts at a drunken Christmas party two years ago, brashly telling their co-workers that she found it 'hillarious' that her breasts hung lower than her own, the Southampton Employment Tribunal was told.

The hearing also heard that the comments made by 'churlish' practice manager Ms Lickfold - who also clashed with other colleagues - made the junior member of staff feel 'humiliated'.
