A BRIT holidaymaker said Thomas Cook hotel staff threatened to call the Spanish police if they don't pay their £1,100 bill today.

Callum Weston, 27, and Bethany Sharp, 23, have been told they have to pay up at the Bahia De Lobos in Fuerteventura or else the cops will get involved.

The couple got engaged at the start of their 10-day holiday on September 18 after paying more than £2,000.

He claims the hotel manager had threatened to put them on the streets – but eventually let up and said they could stay last night without making a payment.

However, the receptionist told Callum if he didn't make a payment he was going to call police.

Callum told The Sun Online: "The receptionist said to me that if we didn’t make a payment the police would be informed.

“I asked him ‘What are you going to arrest me on?’

'SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN'

“I haven’t broken the law. He didn’t explain why the police would be involved – it was just a threat.

“The manager of the hotel said we could stay tonight without paying and hopefully tomorrow morning the issue will be resolved."

But the couple are looking to leave anyway after the way they say they've been treated.

He added: "We are looking to leave. It has devastated her.

“It is disgusting how they are treating us. We will wait to see how it plays out in the morning.

“I am going to sleep with one eye open tonight. I am half expecting them to bang down the door.”

Other Thomas Cook holidaymakers stranded across Europe and North Africa have been ordered to stump up hundreds of pounds or risk sleeping on the beach.

A British couple with a sick nine-month-old daughter were said they were held "hostage" and told to pay £917 by "smirking" staff or else they would get the boot.

Stephen McGonnell and Stacey Robinson, whose daughter Olivia is sick with a chest infection, were handed handwritten invoices at the Hotel Troya in Tenerife.

Stacey, from Bolton, told The Daily Mail: "The manager just wrote the figure on a piece of paper, slid it over to me, smirking, and said 'pay or you’re out'.

"I said we’ve paid for this trip already and we have a sick baby, this is ridiculous.

"So now we are frightened to leave the room empty in case they come up and remove all our stuff.

"We don’t know what to do because what if we pay and can’t get it back? So now we’re prisoners in our hotel with a sick baby."

Cath and Harvey Hurst were told to fork up £2,145 or they'd be kicked out of their Menorca hotel.

The couple had paid £2,300 for the two-week holiday at a Hotel Cabot Pollensa Park Spa along with 10 other Brits to celebrate their Golden Wedding Anniversary.

Cath, 71, told The Mirror Online: "The manager told us we had to pay £2,145. I explained that we didn't have the money and he said 'pay it or else you will have to leave the hotel'.

"I feel like we're being held hostage here.
