A society beauty has been arrested by armed police - after allegedly enjoying a sexual liaison with a fellow passenger on a jumbo jet.
Clare Irby, 29, who is a descendant of the Guinness family, is said to have performed a sex act on the boyfriend of another passenger while the woman slept in the next seat.
Sarah Hannon, a 35-year-old model, awoke to allegedly discover Daniel Melia and Miss Irby in a clinch beside her.
The pair were spotted under a blanket by the cabin crew, who tried to intervene.
A heated argument is then alleged to have ensued between the two women, while cabin crew tried to calm the situation.
The plane was boarded by armed police officers at Heathrow who met the flight - Kingfisher Airlines Flight IT001 - when it landed. They arrested all three passengers involved.
Miss Irby, a former stockbroker and mother of one, was questioned on suspicion of gross indecency, being drunk on an aircraft and failing to obey the instructions of the crew.
She was then released on bail, along with Miss Hannon and 36-year-old Mr Melia, who live in Birmingham.
Miss Irby's father, Old Etonian banker Paul Aschan, is descended from the Guinness brewers and her stepfather is the grandson of a baron.
Her late grandfather Robert Henderson was chairman of private bank Kleinwort Benson.
Miss Irby herself was educated at Heathfield School in Worcestershire and says on her page on Facebook, the social networking website, that she has worked as a teacher and backstage at shows during London Fashion week.
Yesterday Miss Irby was lying low at her luxury flat in Fulham, West London, and refusing to talk about the incident. She said: 'I've taken legal advice and been told not to comment on this.'
But a family member said earlier: 'Clare is a wreck, she's devastated. There was no sex. The whole thing is untrue. She is not that sort of person.'
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: 'Police attended a flight into Heathrow regarding behaviour of passengers on board at about 6pm on Thursday, March 26.
