A pair of influencers were removed from a flight after joking about setting off a stink bomb in the cabin.
Kel Ferreti and Igor Campioni were taken off the LATAM plane before take-off.
They were removed after Campioni joked that his pal would set off a “bomb” inside the aircraft.

The police were called and officers removed the two men for questioning.
Ferreti later clarified that he was in the toilet with an upset tummy when his pal quipped to other passengers that he would “set off a bomb” as they waited for take-off.
Campioni said in a video: “I sincerely and humbly apologise to the people on that flight.
“If I inconvenienced you in any way, and if you know anyone on that flight, I ask for you to judge me based on who I am and my character.
“It was meant to be a joke that was almost funny about a ‘fart bomb’ causing the flight to be cancelled.
“But it’s a lesson learnt for me never to do something like that again.”
Before being escorted off the plane, a flight attendant had allegedly warned Campioni about his use of the b-word: “Don’t say that even as a joke.”
He went on: “Out of the blue, the Federal Police boarded the plane and went straight to the cockpit.
“When they came out, they called us over. They asked for our documents and took our bags.
“It was ironic, even the police didn’t believe it.
“Later, after some research, they clarified to me that you can’t say the word ‘bomb’ on a plane.”
The flight was bound for Maceió, Brazil, from São Paulo Guarulhos International Airport.
It was eventually cancelled after being held up for hours with about 200 people on board on Thursday (25 Apr).
A LATAM spokesperson said “We requested Federal Police assistance to disembark two passengers from flight LA3198 this Thursday after they reported carrying an explosive device on board.
“As per procedure in such cases, the aircraft and luggage were inspected by police, leading to the flight’s cancellation because the crew had exceeded their maximum duty hours.”
Ferreti, 38, has millions of social media followers, whom he keeps updated with snaps of moments from his jet-set family life.
A former policeman, he was expelled from the force last year for an election offence, as reported on Need To Know.
He claims he’s made more than 60m BRL (£9.4m) from selling courses about “how to make money on the internet”.
Campioni has hundreds of thousands of followers and also posts snaps of his luxury lifestyle.
A former aspiring footballer, he once claimed to have turned 500 BRL (£78) into 125m BRL (£19.5m) through digital marketing
