A woman who was ‘punched in the boobs’ in a scuffle at her 50th birthday party has said it was sparked by a ‘fancy bottle of vodka’. You can watch a clip of the moment below:
Lisa Keegan, who compared the brawl to the Channel 4 comedy Shameless, said the whole thing kicked off after family friend Adam, 40, snatched a vape from one of the teen guests.
The mum from Colne, Lancashire, said he’d been winding people up at the boozy get-together before her daughter’s boyfriend Tony, 52, decided to step in and stick up for the lad.

As the confrontation descended into chaos, Lisa got right in the middle of the pair, and although they were too drunk to cause any real damage, Tony accidentally bopped her right in the chest.
Her daughter Colleen later fell backwards over a chair, sparking further laughter from the other guests.
Amid the tussle, the birthday girl finally separated the two before holding a chair up to Tony as a warning to stop.
Everyone involved has laughed off the incident, including Lisa who said it’s a birthday she’ll ‘never forget’.

Speaking to the MailOnline about what caused Adam’s behaviour, she said: “He brought along a fancy bottle of vodka for me as a present - but when I told him I preferred gin, he drank it himself.
“That was a mistake because he’s on medication and said he hadn’t had a drink for years. Well, it didn’t agree with him.”
Lisa went on to describe how she was ‘punched in the boobs’, adding: “This is Colne for you. We are not a rough family but that day it all got out of hand.”
When the video went viral, the mum said she was initially embarrassed but now she thinks it’s hilarious, with people online calling her a legend.

"They couldn't pack a punch between them because everyone was so drunk,” she added. “I was in the middle of them to break it up, but I should have just left them to it.
"The video's hilarious. It's like something out of Shameless. I was like Meme.”
Despite police being called to the scene, Tony and Adam made-up once they’d sobered up a bit.
Tony said: "It's funny to watch back. My girlfriend was falling over, Lisa was shouting and yelling, Everyone's falling all over the place.

"Adam was being cocky, but we were all p**sed up. It was more funny than anything else… There wasn't anything malicious in it. We sorted it out and the police gave me a lift home."
Adam, meanwhile, has a hazy memory of the event, stating: “We'd had one too many drinks, then we had a few cross words and that's what happens.
"I didn't mean any ill intentions. And we had a laugh and a joke about it later on. It was more a drunken mess than anything else.”
A Lancashire Police spokesperson said about the scuffle: "We were called at 7pm on 28th May to a property on Slater Avenue in Colne to reports of two men fighting.
