A crafty teen snuck off on a lads holiday to Magaluf after his protective mum banned him from going – and only admitted his whereabouts with a cheeky plane selfie.
Keiran Lindsay, 18, from Saltcoats, Scotland, had booked onto the trip just four days before his eight pals were due to jet off to the raucous resort.
After covertly packing and stashing a suitcase at a mate’s house days earlier, Keiran jumped into a cab to Glasgow Airport pretending to mum Claire Braithwaite that he was tucked up in bed.
The teen only revealed that he was heading off on his first lads’ holiday to his mum Claire, 42, while sat on the runway.

Electrician Keiran snapped a group selfie and sent it along with a cheeky text that read ‘do you really think I’d miss Maga with the boys?’.
When Keiran landed at Palma Airport in Palma, Mallorca, four hours later he faced a barrage of irate texts and missed calls from furious NHS nurse Claire branding him an ‘immature f**king idiot’.
Despite infuriating his mum and being forced to take FaceTime calls several times a day, Keiran described his week-long trip to the party resort as ‘the best week of my life’.
‘My mates were saying not to text her [my mum] until the plane was about to leave in case she phoned security or something,’ explained Keiran.
‘I got on the plane and the doors had literally just shut, so I thought ‘f*ck it there’s no way she can stop me now’, so I got a picture of me and my pals and sent it to her.
Along with the selfie, Keiran wrote a cheeky text that read ‘do you really think I’d miss Maga with the boys?’ (pictured)
‘I turned my phone off aeroplane mode in the airport and I had 500 notifications, 30 missed calls and those angry texts.
‘She FaceTimed me, so I answered it and she was crying, but I didn’t feel bad one bit.
‘I knew I’d be fine and I just said that there’s nothing she could do, it was out of her hands.
‘She phoned and texted me every day, and at the start it was like phone calls every ten minutes, but as each day went by she kind of calmed down a bit.’
The texts from Keiran’s mum read: ‘Why [are] you wearing a gold chain? Look at you immature idiot f**king running about like f**king Del Boy.
‘You’re a ned that’s a disgusting look get a grip. Get that gold chain off your neck, you’re an idiot and definitely immature.
Did you tell him you f**ked off?

‘Well I tell you, you better not come back riddled with an STD or aids I tell you .. guy I work with got genital warts from sh*gging a girl on holiday and you don’t get rid of that sh*t.’
‘And do not let anyone take your passport or the hotel take it, keep it safe in your suitcase in a zipped part and do not buy drugs[…] and do not take drugs.
‘I swear to god I will never get over this. And as for swimming you can’t even swim, you’re not a strong swimmer and you better not be diving off or into water.
‘You’re 6ft 7in and can’t f**king dive into pools. Well you can if you want to land in a wheelchair.’
When Keiran landed in Mallorca he simply replied: ”6ft 5in and I can swim fine.’
Cheeky Keiran shared his plane selfie and the fuming flurry of texts in a throwback post on social media from last June, lamenting how times had changed during Covid-19.

Keiran said: ‘I’d been working at my mum for ages to let me go, but she wasn’t letting me so I was gutted.
‘I’d kind of given up on myself thinking ‘oh well, I’m not going away next week’, but the boys at work just said ‘go and book it, you’re going to regret it if you don’t go’.’
Daring Keiran’s escape plan was nearly foiled when mum Claire texted him while en-route to the airport asking where he was, so he mocked up a picture of himself ‘asleep’ in the back of the cab.
Keiran said: ‘She’d texted me at 3.30am asking where I was and I said I was at my pal’s house and we were about to go to bed.

‘She asked me to prove it, so I was like ‘sh*t what do I do’?
‘I took one of the boy’s hoodies and laid it against the window and kind of used it as bedding. I’ve no idea how I got away with that, but I did.
‘When I got home [from holiday] she was in, and she saw me coming in. I was kind of laughing and she was pretending to be angry, but I think she found it a wee bit funny herself.’
The teen, who also lives with dad Jim Lindsay, 45, said he and his mates had booked to return in June this year, but coronavirus thwarted their plans.
Keiran shared screenshots from his post last year, which has been liked and shared more than 43,000 times.
Keiran’s post read: ‘Year ago today I somehow managed to pull this off. Best week of my life man. How times have changed.’
