From ASN:

"Monarch Airlines flight ZB654 from Manchester to Malaga returned to Manchester shortly after take-off. The aircraft "developed a technical fault and in line with standard procedure the Captain requested a priority landing", according to the airline.
The aircraft took off from runway 05L at 08:02 hours local time and climbed to FL220 on a southerly course. A descent was then initiated to FL100 before the flight turned back at 08:19 while in the vicinity of Hereford.
A safe landing was made back on runway 05L at 08:50 hours.
Passengers noted a panel on the underside of the right hand wing hanging loose.
Unconfirmed reports say the cabin crew stated to passengers there was a pressurization issue as well. "

They have a photo as well of the panel from the cabin:
