Laura had her hands full from start to finish, skipping picking up a coffee because she simply didn’t haver a free hand or cup holder to store it.

Things were much comfier on bard the plane, however Bonnie still kept her on her toes.

Laura revealed the youngster “s**t herself” shortly after having some orange juice and nearly fell from a seat too.

In their private booth, Laura emptied toys onto a bed to keep her entertained and stuck a film on while she watch Anchorman.

She did her best to stem the potential for criticism about being “tone deaf” by adding a disclaimer to the post that began with her declaring: “I am aware sitting in business class is a privilege if someone chooses to do so.”

However, some followers’ sympathy still only went so far, with one commenting: “my heart bleeds for you Laura.”

While others compared their own flight nightmares with kids while fling in economy.

One said: “You should try cattle class with a child, I feel for anyone having to travel with children trying to keep them occupied in a confined space, you had room, she did well Laura x.”

Others defended the star, with one writing: “You do you, no need for justification. People do not need to follow you or read your posts they can scroll on by!”

Another said: “The fact that you felt you had to explain your choice is what’s wrong with society. You have absolutely every right to travel first class with or without a child. Travelling with children is hellish at the best of times, if there is something you can do to make life easier then do it!! All of us would if we had the pennies you go girl!!”

Laura replied to one fan and admitted she had a very different experience on a flight last year.

She said: “I flew Jet2 in the summer it was only 4hrs though and my mum was with me so we cried altogether while Bonnie threw her food at everyone.”

The mum-of-one explained that she upgraded because she saves money on accommodation by staying with her sister in the Middle Eastern city.

She said: “I would be happy to sit in economy if I had another adult travelling with me. A babies cry does seem somewhat more embarrassing in a premium cabin which is great.”

The reality star then explained how the extra space was helpful for solo parents travelling with kids and that families are welcome in the pricier part of the plance.

Revealing her tips for upgrading, she wrote: “You can do online in advance, at check in, at the gate or onboard with money or miles all prices are different. Of course the later you leave it there’s a chance it might be full. My crew mates always check for me the loads.”

Casualty‘s Emily Carey – who played Grace Beauchamp-Strachan on the long-running show – looked a far cry from their character in the French capital

The star showed off chic style as they attended the Patou Menswear Fall-Winter 2025/2026 show at Paris Fashion Week.

Emily – who played the daughter of Connie Beauchamp and Sam Strachan – looked stylish in a burnt orange oversized blazer and matching trousers with a blue shirt.

They completed the look with white heels and a bright orange Le Petit Patou bag.

Emily’s Casualty character Grace, became the centre of some of the show’s most biggest storylines.

This included a horrific car accident that left them with a life-threatening subdural haematoma.

Their character also had a brief romance with a paramedic Leon Cook, after convincing him that they were an older med student.

Meanwhile, Casualty returned to our screens this month and with it came a new recruit.

Sexy Beast star Naomi Wakszlak now plays the role of Indie Jankowski, who is a new student paramedic at Holby City Hospital.

While she’s very much a junior, Indie is a force to be reckoned with and isn’t shy about making her mark.

Speaking about joining Casualty, Naomi said: “It’s a huge honour to work on BBC’s Casualty and join the incredible cast and crew here in making one of the UK’s best-loved series.

“I hope you’ll all love Indie as much as I do!”

Meanwhile, Roxane Harvey, Casualty’s executive producer said: “Naomi is an emerging talent who brings depth and authenticity to the role, seamlessly capturing Indie’s determination and drive to prove herself in a demanding environment.

“As Indie navigates her professional journey, viewers will witness her growth as a paramedic and the relationships she forms with colleagues, her boss Jan and patients.”

It comes after fans were reduced to tears as the drama’s Christmas special centred around the miracle of blood.

The episode featured real accounts from bereaved family members and those who survived thanks to blood donations.
