N-Dubz removed from plane

TWO HIP-HOP stars have been removed from a plane after threatening other passengers.

The members of the award-winning London-based group N-Dubz were taken off a British Airways flight by armed police who were waiting for them when the plane landed.

Dino Contostavlos, known as Dappy, and Richard Rawson, nicknamed Fazer, were removed at a London airport after flying in from Edinburgh.

A source said: "They were swearing at kids on the plane, being foul and threatening passengers.

"Cabin crew called ahead to the police, who were waiting when the plane landed. They were taken away by armed officers."

They were held by officers for more than an hour along with their friend DJ Mazer. The third member of N-Dubz, Tula "Tulisa" Contostavlos, Dappy's cousin, was not involved.

A spokesman for the band said: "Fazer apologised on the plane at the end of the flight. They're sorry if their high spirits offended anyone."

The incident comes just days after Contostavlos was arrested after being accused of threatening to kill a man with a gun.

Police raided his home in Camden, north London searching for a firearm but he denies the allegation.
