Sam Faiers almost burst into tears after remark over difficult flight with baby son

Sam Faiers candidly spoke on the realities of motherhood this week as she detailed her recent traumatic experience flying home from Dubai with youngest son Edward, who is almost one year old.

The former TOWIE star, 32, who spent her first ever night apart from the tot last week, explained that she almost 'burst into tears' during the long-haul trip, which takes just under eight hours, as the little one struggled to settle.

She had enjoyed the holiday away with husband Paul Knightley and their two older children too; Paul, seven, and five-year-old Rosie, and shared a number of sunny pictures to social media.

But a dose of reality came as energy-filled Edward was keen to be on his feet for the flight home rather than sitting still, with his worn-out mum attempting to find things on the flight to help keep him entertained.

Admitting she was 'at the end of her tether' while discussing the ordeal on her podcast, The Sam & Billie Show, with sister Billie Shepherd, Sam recalled locking herself and Edward in the plane's bathroom.

"I was playing with the tissue, the taps on and off, we were soaked but that gave me half an hour of him entertained and I did that twice," she explained.

There was a moment of relief just before the plane landed, explained Sam, who shared that Edward did go to sleep before landing, but was 'kicking off' again upon departing the aircraft.

Sharing her emotional journey, she said: "At the end of the flight I thought I was going to break down into tears, I actually welled up when I got off the flight but I held it back.

"This woman turned round to me and she went 'you've had a really tough time haven't you'. I promise you, I thought I was going to burst into tears."

Despite the traumatic return leg of the journey, Sam enjoyed the quality time with her loved ones during the trip after the family-of-five jetted off just before Easter Sunday.

They stayed in the lavish Atlantis The Royal hotel, which only officially opened its doors to the public earlier this year.

But they had other plans for the trip, as Sam shared while she was away that she had booked a villa on Airbnb and was now looking for help with a 'scam case' against the host.

She wrote to Instagram: "Hey, please can someone share a direct @airbnb contact with me? I have a scam case but I'm getting no response from anyone.

"I booked a villa with a 'Superhost' with many 5 star reviews, they had been a member for more than 10 years, and I followed all the steps via the @airbnb platform."

Following the stressful time, Sam then enjoyed a relaxing weekend in Paris last week with her sister Billie and their lookalike mum Suzie Wells – in what was her first trip away from little Edward since giving birth in May 2022.
