Moment rain falls inside Luton Airport terminal building as huge storm hits

Airport bosses have apologised to customers after a torrent of rainfall came through the ceiling of a terminal building.

Passengers filmed rain falling inside London Luton Airport.

A deluge of rainfall leaked through the ceiling of the busy airport terminal on Friday during a heavy downpour.

Love Island contestant Zara McDermott and her Made In Chelsea boyfriend Sam Thompson were caught up in the leak as water flooded into a restaurant where they were trying to order pizza.

She posted on Instagram: "he roof is coming down in Luton Airport wtf. Sat in Bella Italia.

"I cannot believe this is happening was just trying to enjoy my pizza".

In her video she can be heard shouting: "I'm getting wet Sam" - and adding: "Oh my God, this is insane."

In a statement the airport said: "Following a period of unprecedented rainfall, we have experienced water damage in a number of locations in the terminal.

The airport's Twitter account later said: "We are working as quickly as we can to get services back to normal and will keep passengers updated.

"We are sorry for the inconvenience caused."
