Stacey Solomon recently jetted off alongside Joe Swash on their first holiday as a family of seven and admitted as they boarded the plane she was far from relaxed.
But after their flight, the former X Factor singer stated that she couldn't have been any happier after reaching Abu Dhabi and that they had a string of activities planned for their five children.
The 33-year-old decided to book the lavish holiday abroad after her fans suggested Abu Dhabi due to the country being "the most beautiful" location for a perfect relaxing getaway.
And it appears that the family have been loving every minute of their sun-soaked trip away as she documented their trip on her Instagram for her 5.6 million followers.
Stacey and her 'little pickles' as she calls her kids, jetted out of London's Heathrow Airport and praised Etihad Airways for making her journey as smooth as possible.
Sharing a snap of all the family wearing matching outfits, Stacey penned: "Off on our very first adventure together… Rose & Belles first plane ride and ours as a family since before covid when Rex was a few months old.
"We are all so excited to make some special memories. I think I was most nervous about the journey there but we've made it safe & sound and still sane.
"A massive thank you to the lovely passengers who were so chatty & sweet to us & the kids and also thank you to kindest air stewards who played with Rex & Rose so nicely & made them feel so comfortable @etihad you have the most amazing staff and captain Rexy can't wait to fly us home," she added before sharing a picture of Rex in the flight deck of the A350 aircraft.
Having landed at their destination, the family headed to the beach, with her daughter Rose playing in the sea for the first time. She appeared to be in her element as she beamed alongside her brother with the sun setting in the background.
Stacey shared a snap of her husband Joe Swash, 41, and Rose walking in the crystal clear ocean alongside the caption: "All the kids are fast asleep.
"So many of you have sent me the loveliest messages thank you. We've had the best day and are so grateful to be away. I'm just looking through our pictures. This is Rose's first experience of the sea. She was a little nervous but loved it in the end."
The star who found fame on The X Factor appeared to be more than relaxed as she sat back and watched her children playing on the golden UAE sands while gazing off into the distance.
She later thanked fans for suggesting Abu Dhabi as she said it was a "paradise" thanks to its warm tropical seas which her older children certainly appeared to be enjoying as they splashed about.
Despite initially being nervous about being in the water, Rose appeared to be in her element as she stumbled across a starfish which appeared to take her by complete surprise.
But it wasn't just Rose who was making the most of the exotic beach location, with the tot posing alongside her older brother Rex while Stacey admitted the country has a huge amount of activities for all five of her children to enjoy.
Having spent some time relaxing, Stacey went on to explain how grateful she is to be in a position to head to luxury locations with her children.
The Loose Women panellist explained that she is often away from her kids due to work commitments but was "soaking up every single second" before heading back to work.
While several people complained on Stacey's posts about her decision to fly to Abu Dhabi, many wished them the best and stated that she is a "legend" for managing to get three children under three on an aircraft and hope they enjoy every second.
