Gogglebox's Malone family share eventful flight back to Manchester Airport after mini-break

Gogglebox stars Tom and Julie Malone have told fans of their eventful flight back to Manchester Airport after jetting off to Dublin this weekend for a mini-break.

The couple, who have starred on the show since 2014 from their home in Stretford - alongside their children, shared a video from the south Manchester airport on Friday (April 22) as they headed towards the departure gate.

Tom confessed he had just been pulled aside by security staff after guards had stopped curling tongs in his bag and flagged the item. He told fans "they weren't mine," the ECHO reports.

And on Sunday (24 April) as the pair began their return journey to Manchester, they came into another problem. The plane had got as far as Wales when it "broke down" - meaning the pilot turned around to Dublin again.

In another video, Tom said: "You wouldn't believe it, we're on the plane to Manchester, over Wales. They've f***ing broke down the plane he said, now we're going back to Dublin. Jesus Christ. Got pulled for having curling tongs and now the plane's broke down".

A later video saw Julie ask her husband: "Are we getting home this time?". Tom said: "Let's have another go on this one, see if we can break this one. Been to Dublin twice today".

Fans were loving the updates. Taking to the comments section, Elizabeth Oakes said: "You 2 should do a travel blog". Jenny Woodward said: "You 2 are just hilarious and beautiful together".

Caroline Rodwell said: "You pair [cry-laughing emoji]". Lynn said: "Love love love you guys xx"
