Ever overheard a couple having a huge, relationship-ending row on public transport - or been part of one yourself? You'll know that it's pretty painful to overhear - and, presumably, even more distressing when you're the couple arguing so publicly.

Well imagine being the boyfriend and girlfriend who recently had a huge row on a plane, while unbeknown to them, a fellow passenger live-tweeted every detail.

Kelly Keegs found herself next to a couple who were in the midst of breaking up and having an explosive argument - and decided to tweet a blow-by-blow account as events unfurled.

The story quickly went viral as people were gripped by her tweets and amusing observations, and #PlaneBreakUp started trending on Twitter. But some users hit back arguing that it was cruel for her to broadcast the clearly awkward encounter for the world to mock/cringe over.

On the one hand: the couple were very publicly arguing, so everyone on the plane could hear their business. And it seemed like spoiler alert the couple didn't actually break-up after all - they ended up "making out" after all the drama.

On the other: does that mean that we have the right to gloat about the demise of their relationship?

While admittedly we're fascinated by it, it's making the Grazia office feel pretty uneasy.

But what do you think? Read the exchange below - and let us know what you think @Grazia_Live.
