As she drank more, Horne started causing "issues" with other passengers onboard - including her partner.

It's alleged the 32-year-old then tried to kiss one of the aircrew and pinched his bottom.

She is then said to have started verbally abusing him.

Once the plane touched down in Manchester, Horne was detained by two police officers, who she also became aggressive towards.

Jane Deakin, prosecuting, told the Wigan Magistrates’ Court the Lancashire woman was “abusive and kicked out at officers”.

Her drunken actions left one of the cops with a small cut above his eye, Ms Deakin said.

Horne today appeared in court on five charges relating to her boozing on the Ryanair flight - which she jetted on in March last year.

She admitted to being drunk on an aircraft and two counts of assaulting an emergency worker.

However, she pleaded not guilty sexual assault and a charge of using racially aggravated threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour. 

Horne, of Burnley, will now face trial on those charges at Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court.

She will appear on April 19.
