A stag party were conned out of £13,000 when the groom-to-be's fiancee allegedly pretended to book their holiday to Ibiza before running off with the cash.

Chris Mahone, 27, and his 29 friends were on the way to Leeds-Bradford airport when they realised they had been conned by 29-year-old Rachel Doran, sources claimed.

It is alleged she had persuaded Mr Mahone to let her organise the four-day trip and charged each member of the party £440.

Sources claim Ms Doran was motivated by revenge as she wrongly believed her partner had cheated on her

Friends claimed she even gave them fake boarding passes and documents which appeared to be from a local tour company.

After finding out their tickets were not valid the group then phoned the hotel where they were supposed to be staying only to be told that no booking had been made.

By the time they realised what had happened Ms Doran had vanished from the home she shared with Mr Mahone near Whitehaven, Cumbria.

She is now believed to be hiding in a caravan park after being disowned by her family - while Mr Mahone is considering calling in police to investigate the alleged scam.

But now the groom's friends have gone to Magaluf anyway after booking on to a last-minute flight to the party hotspot.

Nine of the original group spent £400 each on the spontaneous trip in a bid to 'make the best out of a bad situation' after their stag-do trip was revealed to be a fake.

But Mr Mahone himself was not in the mood to join his friends and instead returned home to Cumbria.

One of the revellers on the trip told MailOnline: 'After we found out about the holiday we went inside the airport, went to the desk and asked if there were any flights to Benidorm or Magaluf.

'They offered us £150 return so we said 'f*** it, we're off to Magaluf'. To be honest we haven't even booked a flight back.

'We're just drinking loads all day today. Chris is the nicest person in the world, I just can't believe it's happened to him.

'People back home are absolutely devastated. We're just trying to make the best out of a bad situation. We're devastated like.'

Sources told The Sun that the bride-to-be was motivated by revenge, believing her partner had cheated on her, a claim his friends denied.

One of them said: 'She's taken £13,000 from us for a stag do that didn't even exist.

The couple were believed to be having a £5,000 wedding in their hometown of Cleator Moor

'Some of us only earn £200 a week and have been saving since March. It's scandalous.'

Distraught Mr Mahone, who works at the Sellafield nuclear plant, posted an emotional message on Facebook in which he apologised to his friends.

He wrote: 'Words cannot describe the pain and feelings that are playing with my head today.

'I totally want to apologise to all my fantastic mates that were gonna celebrate what was supposed to be my stag do.

'I can't apologise enough. I'm sorry boys I really am.'

The groom-to-be's pals responded with messages of support.

One wrote: 'You have nothing to apologise for bro.'

Some of his friends even posted a series of altered pictures in which they mocked Ms Doran.

One showed her face superimposed on to a film poster for the 1999 film Runaway Bride while another showed her holding a $11,000 cheque emblazoned with the words 'Stag do fund'.

Mr Mahone had clearly been looking forward to his holiday and posted 'anyone fancy Ibiza' ahead of the trip.

After realising what had happened, nine of the party chose to fly to Malaga instead but the groom remained in Leeds.

The couple were believed to be planning a £5,000 wedding in their hometown of Cleator Moor.

One relative said the family was 'devastated' after the farce, adding: '(Chris) thought she was the most amazing fiancée ever, for organising the stag and everything.'

One of Mr Mahone's friends, who has gone on the trip to Magaluf, told MailOnline: 'We had the stag do planned for a year now. We were meant to be going on Thursday 7th September.

'We all met up in our local club at 10pm and we were on the drink before getting the bus at midnight.

'We got within 15 minutes of Leeds-Bradford airport then the best man came to the back and said 'listen lads, there's no holiday'.

'We were so shocked, we couldn't believe it was real. There was no evidence of us booking and no space on flight so obviously his girlfriend had done a runner with all the money.

'Everyone had been paying money to the best man and groom then they were giving it to her pay off – but she was banking all the money.

'Chris was absolutely devastated, he felt he let his mates down really.

'You couldn't believe what we were feeling. It was absolutely crazy, we were shocked and we couldn't cope. A lot of the lads had saved all year for it as well.

'Chris is the nicest person in the world, I just can't believe it's happened to him.

'Hopefully he's chucked all her stuff out on the road but apparently she's done a runner.'

There was no answer at the semi detached house Rachel had shared with Chris and neighbours said they had not been seen for some time.

A relative of Rachel's said: 'I work with her mum. She was very upset when she found out.

'There is a family rift but Rachel still talks to her mum and dad - at least she did before this happened.'
