Rochelle Humes was 'close to tears' as son Blake told to 'shut up' on flight

Rochelle Humes admitted she was "close to bursting into tears" on a flight with her young son Blake, after a comment from a fellow passenger.

The TV host and co-presenter Vernon Kay were hosting the usual news debate segment on the show with guests, when the topic of adult-only flights was discussed.

As the guests and hosts debated whether child-free flights should exist, Rochelle shared her own experiences since motherhood.

Rochelle shares three young children with her husband Marvin Humes, her daughters Alaia-Mai, nine, and Valentina, five, and 22-month-old son Blake.

While she didn't specify when it happened, she revealed there was an incident where she was on a flight with her son while he was teething, and he became upset.

Rochelle shared that her two little girls are good fliers, but son Blake was "not so" good with flying.

As Blake cried during the flight in question, Rochelle revealed she was left emotional when a fellow passenger asked if she was going to "shut up" her child, as she struggled to soothe him.

She explained: "Before I had children I was kind of I suppose in that camp," referring to wanting adult-only flights.

Rochelle went on: "However, it didn't really bother me, I'd have my headphones in, I'd watch a film, I'd get my head down. If I heard it, it's someone else's problem right?

"But since having a little one, my two girls are very good fliers but my son not so much. I had a flight where a guy sort of said something to me like, 'aren't you going to shut him up?'.

"I was that close to bursting into tears because I feel for the parents."

Rochelle added she choked up at the time as she told the passenger she was "really trying" to stop her son from crying.

She went on: "There is nothing worse… I didn't even know my child, he was teething and I was like, 'I don't even know how to settle him myself'."

The singer and TV host recently renewed her vows with partner Marvin, 10 years after their wedding.

Taking to Instagram, Rochelle shared a black and white photograph of her hand on top of Marvin's at the special ceremony, as she gave fans a preview from behind the scenes.

Rochelle wore a long-sleeved lacy dress, which featured a simple ribbon at the wrist, while Marvin appeared to be wearing a dark-coloured blazer or suit jacket.

The former pop star simply captioned the photo: "Opps we did it again... Ten down forever to go (sic)," alongside a white heart emoji.

Rochelle's fans and followers were quick to comment on the post, with one person writing: "Congratulations beautiful people."
Another posted: "So so happy for you both," while a third added: "can’t wait to see the pictures."

Former TOWIE star Billie Faiers commented: "Huge congratulations to you both," while Marvin's JLS band mate Aston Merrygold left a heart eye emoji alongside a crying face and a black heart.

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV and ITV Hub.
