Billie Faiers has spoken of the moment a 'livid stranger' slapped her child on a busy flight.
The reality TV star has told the horrific story of the moment an angry woman turned around in her seat on the plane and slapped her son, Arthur.
The 32-year-old, former TOWIE star, was left horrified after the livid passenger took it upon herself to slap Arthur - who was sitting behind her on his mums lap.
The Mirror reports how in the latest episode of her podcast with sister Sam, Billie explained that Arthur had been having a tough time on the plane as the family made their way back from their holiday destination.
In a bid to try and sooth her son, Billie propped Arthur up on her lap as he tried to calm him down.
Unfortunately, Arthur ended up kicking the back of the seat in front of him - which didn't go down well with the woman sitting ahead of Billie and her clan.
Lifting the lid on the horrifying moment Billie watched as another woman smacked her little boy, the reality TV star explained: "We were on the way back from Dubai, and there was a family that were sat in front of us and Arthur was kicking off a bit - as kids do sometimes.
"Don't get me wrong, this is really annoying, but he had kicked the back of the woman's chair. He was on my lap and I was trying to calm him down. I said to her 'I'm so sorry', and that was it.
"Then he was having a bit of a tantrum and he was crying. Well, the woman turned around in her seat and she smacked him.
"She smacked him on his arm and then I saw red. When I mean I kicked off - I was livid."
Billie went on to reveal that she complained to staff after the commotion started as she stood up and confronted the passenger for laying hands on her son.
"Obviously, everyone was looking because I was going absolutely mental. I was so angry. And then Greg was half-asleep at one of the rows in the front and he was wondering what the hell was going on.
"But this woman - I think she was German. So, there must have been a language barrier. But at the end of the day, she literally hit my child. She didn't hurt him, but she smacked him. I was honestly in such shock - I was furious.
As things escalated on the plane, the woman who smacked Billie's son started to 'hide' under blanket because she was so mortified. Billie also explained that the woman had children on the flight with her too, and after the incident happened, they looked horrified and embarrassed.
"You could tell her kids were really embarrassed. I felt a bit sorry for them."
Mum-of-two finished off her travel horror story by revealing that she never received an apology from the woman on the plane.
Billie shares Arthur, 3, and daughter Nelly, 6, with husband Greg Shepherd.
