Georgie Palmer was set to travel to Dalaman with her family when the incident unfolded.
A BBC presenter says she was kicked off a flight to Turkey with her family after asking passengers not to eat peanuts due to her daughter's allergy.
Recalling the drama, she said: "We gently asked the passengers at the front of the plane to share our request, and, row by row, as swift as a carefully crafted toppling domino trail, all the passengers turned back to kindly ask the row behind to please not eat nuts on the flight. It was calm, earnest & with an overwhelming sense of solidarity & empathy.
Georgie and her family ended up taking an EasyJet flight to the holiday resort the following day and said the crew happily made several announcements asking passengers not to open packets of peanuts on board. However, she said they were forced to spend an extra £5,000 booking the additional flights, an airport hotel and other costs.
"We refrain from making these kinds of announcements as, like many other airlines, we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment on our flights, nor prevent other passengers from bringing food items containing allergens on board. "To ensure the safety of our crew and our passengers on board, we cannot tolerate aggressive and unruly behaviour on our flights. 'Additionally, our website states that passengers must notify us 48 hours in advance of any special care required due to a medical condition and no such notification was received from the passengers in this instance."
