An Army officer and his wife have admitted racially abusing hotel guests and workers after getting drunk at their own wedding reception. Jade and Aaron Badland asked an Asian family if they had Ebola and assaulted a Brazilian hotel employee, calling her a 'bloody foreigner'. The pair have been spared jail after a court heard that they were too drunk to remember what they had done at the Premier Inn at Stansted Airport. Assault: Aaron and Jade Badland have admitted assaulting a hotel worker after their wedding reception . Mr Badland, 24, a bomb disposal officer in the Engineering Regiment, was wearing his Army uniform during the drunken attack alongside his 29-year-old bride. Both newlyweds pleaded guilty to assault and were each ordered to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work, while Mrs Badland was also found guilty of racially aggravated harassment. Chelmsford Magistrates' Court heard that the couple got married in Malta last August, but held their wedding reception at Audley End, Essex in November. Afterwards they were staying at the Stansted branch of Premier Inn, where American guest David La Plante saw them abusing an Asian family. He told the court: 'Around the corner by some lifts we heard talk and the wife was making derogatory remarks to the family, calling them foreigners and asking if they had the Ebola virus. 'I positioned myself between her and the family and gave her a look saying "enough is enough". She asked me if I had the Ebola virus and my response was, "Do you?" 'Her husband came around, wrapped her up and told her we were Americans and not to talk to us.' Venue: The assault took place at a branch of Premier Inn in Stansted Airport, pictured . Harry Coleman, prosecuting, told the court that the Badlands staggered to their hotel room but could not work out how to use the electronic key. They then confronted Brazilian worker Christina Periera, but Mr Badland became angry when she told them she would have to reprogramme the key in order to open their door. Mr Badland then told Mrs Pereira: 'It's my room, open the f***ing door - bloody foreigners coming to our country.' Mr Coleman said: 'Ms Periera was upset and said she was going down to call the police, and he hit her on the nose with his open palm and again twice more.' Mrs Badland 'prodded' the worker with two bottles of alcohol as her husband continued to shout, the court heard. She told magistrates: 'I had a lot of drink. I had a good few pints and some shots and don't remember anything about the incident because of the level of intoxication. I was very drunk.' Gareth Hunter, mitigating, said the couple were 'ashamed' and Mr Badland would be disciplined by the Army. Mrs Badland was ordered to attend a 10-day education, training and employment programme and pay £625 costs and £60 victim surcharge, while her husband was told to pay £100 compensation and a £60 victim surcharge.
