Holidaymaker skipped queues at Manchester Airport by faking broken foot and wearing brace she ditched in loo

A holidaymaker who bragged about how she faked a broken foot to skip queues at Manchester Airport has hit out at critics, saying if other people 'thought smart' they could jump the line too.

Charlotte Rees, 32, told of how she slipped on a protective boot to hoodwink staff in a viral TikTok video, which has attracted both admirers and critics. Charlotte, who jetted to Majorca with her fiance Paul Brown, 33, posted a video showing herself posing in the boot in the airport car park. She then bragged about whizzing through airport security in just five minutes - before ditching the boot in the loo.

Manchester Airport have called the stunt 'unacceptable', and said the act 'cannot be condoned'.
