RTE star Jennifer Zamparelli has told of her frustration at being stranded in the UK due to the arctic blast.
The Dubliner was due to fly to Bristol last Friday to attend a family funeral on Monday – but didn’t even get to take off until Sunday after flights were cancelled at the weekend.
Speaking to Aifric O’Connell, who filled in for Jennifer on her show, she said: “I can’t believe what’s happened. We left on Friday to the airport... and then after four hours, five hours, it was cancelled.

“Couldn’t get out on the Saturday, came back to the airport on Sunday, more delays… four hour, five hour.. finally get on the flight, made it to Bristol but now I’m stuck here and I can’t get back because the flights going back are an absolute nightmare.”
Jennifer also told how she has her two kids with her as they attempt to make the journey home.
