The woman accused of causing disruption on a Ryanair flight to Alicante and then filmed brawling at the airport has claimed she was retaliating after she was attacked first.
Nicola Artley has been banned from flying with the airline after she was accused of hitting a male passenger on the flight and then had a fight with another woman at the airport.
The mum of three who was on the Newcastle to Alicante flight said she has received 'an avalanche of online abuse' since the viral video.
She also has apologised for any offence she might have caused but insists it was self defence.
