Helen Flanagan's airport nightmare as she suffers 'awful' experience travelling with kids

Helen Flanagan shared the reality of travelling with children in new social media posts about her airport experience.

The 32-year-old actress had a nightmare at the airport as her son, Charlie, had a little tantrum while they were flying back to the UK.

Her travels turned chaotic when they arrived at the airport as Charlie - who she shares with Scott Sinclair - was having an awful time.

Helen was also travelling with her other two children, seven-year-old Matilda and four-year-old Delilah.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Helen shared a short video of her daughter Delilah looking miserable.

"Are you going to be good for mummy on this flight as I've got enough work with Charlie. It's going to be horrendous" she asked her middle child.

Speaking to her followers, she added: "Just wish me luck guys, it's going to be awful. Last time, Charlie screamed for eight hours. It's going to be awful and everyone is going to hate me."

She later shared a selfie video as she pushed the airport trolley through the terminal while Delilah continued pouting.

"Are you feeling happier now or not?" the former Coronation Street actress asked Delilah, who was shaking her head.

After their first flight to Dubai, Helen returned to social media to update fans on the nightmare journey.

"So getting through, it was horrendous," she said. "Just at checking in, I've got so much stuff with me, like so much and Charlie just screamed, threw himself at the floor.

"I thought I lost all the iPads and I thought I lost my phone. So I was not happy at all and we're still in Dubai, we've not even set off yet."

She continued: "It's horrendous."

Thankfully, her children seemed calm and comfortable when they got on the flights and settled in their seats.

She shared a picture of her youngest child napping in a pram and captioned the post: "Please nap for two hours," along with a laughing emoji.

In her final Instagram Stories, a tired-looking Helen gave the camera a thumbs up as her son napped in her arms.
