A woman filmed having sex in a Domino's pizza outlet has reportedly apologised and said: “I deserve what I get.”

Daniella Hirst, 29, and Craig Smith, 31, were waiting for their stuffed crust pizza when they let their "exuberant spirits get the better of them", a court heard.

They had sex up against the counter in extraordinary CCTV footage that went viral online

The pair had been on a boozy night out last February.

Now Daniella has told The Sun: “This isn’t me. I’m not normally like this. I was playing about with my boyfriend who I love and it got totally out of hand.

“I’m understandably scared about the possibility of going to prison but I’ll have to deal with it if it happens.

“What we did was horrendous and we deserve to be punished.”

The couple are now facing prison after they were caught on CCTV committing "lewd and obscene" acts.

An X-rated 18-minute clip shows Hirst performing a sex act on Smith up against the counter while several members of staff prepare food.

At around half an hour long, the whole court hearing last week was only around 12 minutes longer than the footage itself.

Hirst, of Gypsey Road, Bridlington, sat at the back of the court with her hands over her eyes as the more explicit parts of the footage was shown.

The footage, which was shown in court, first showed Hirst straddling a wet-floor sign before she is thrown in a sex position midair by Smith.

She then slides down Smith's trousers before appearing to perform a sex act - first standing and then crouching down on her knees.

The footage was shown at Scarborough Magistrates' Court, where the pair faced charges of outraging public decency.

Hirst, 29, pleaded guilty to the offence and Smith, 31, was found guilty in his absence after a trial lasting barely 30 minutes.

The pair performed the sex act largely shielded away from the camera out of shot in the corner of the takeaway shop in Scarborough, North Yorks.

A court heard Hirst later described her behaviour as "horrendous" and she "cringed" when watching the CCTV footage back during police interview.

North Yorkshire Police were first made aware of the footage by the local media after it was posted on Twitter by a member of the Domino's staff.

Hirst pleaded guilty to committing "an act outraging public decency by behaving in an indecent manner" after the frisky pizza shop incident.

Smith was found guilty in his absence, due to him being on remand for other offences.

The couple, from Bridlington, East Yorks, had spent the weekend drinking and celebrating Smith's birthday when they got the train to Scarborough on February 25 2016.

Prosecuting, Neil Holdsworth said: "This charge is committing an act outraging public decency by behaving in an indecent manner.

"This case is about an occasion where the two defendants engaged in sexual activity in a Domino's pizza outlet which was open to the public, with members of staff present."

Defending Scott McLaughlin attempted to have the CCTV footage thrown out but his request was rejected by magistrates.

In mitigation, he said: "This case speaks for itself. Clearly, they were in drink and let their exuberant spirits get the better of them.

"There is nothing sinister in relation to the acts themselves, they are quite guarded.

"They have not been brazen in their actions.

"Miss Hirst's dirty laundry has been aired in public."

Magistrate Angela Beardshall said: "The prosecution has not obtained this footage illegally although it may well be it was distributed improperly.

"In coming to our decision we do take note Mr Smith has not attended but do deem him present via his solicitor.

"We have watched the footage and it's not disputed the male in the footage is Mr Smith.

"A great deal of the acts were lewd, obscene and disgusting.

"Members of staff were present and the defendants could not be sure that members of the public would not enter the premises.

"We view this offence as so serious that it passes the custody threshold.

"The offence was in a public place. Members of the public were present and so were staff.

"Members of the public should not have to put up with this disgusting behaviour."

Both Hirst and Smith will be sentenced on October 17 at Scarborough Magistrates' Court.
