Una Healy stranded in France with children amid flight chaos after 'magical' Disney trip

Una Healy and her children have been stranded in France after their flight back to Ireland was cancelled following a few "magical" days together at Disneyland Paris this week.

The singer, 40, had taken her children Aoife, 10, and Tadhg, seven - whom she shares with ex-husband Ben Foden, 36 - on a summer holiday to visit the theme park recently.

She has posted photos from the vacation on Instagram, with the family having spent time with one of her friends, campaigner Lynsey Bennett, 32, and her two children.

Una however revealed on the platform yesterday that they had unexpectedly spent another night in Paris - telling fans that it was because their flight home got cancelled.

Alongside a photo of scenery, she told her fans yesterday evening: "Another unexpected night in Paris (airport)." She further commented in the post: "Flight got cancelled."

Lynsey - who campaigns around cervical cancer, having been diagnosed with it herself in 2017 - also confirmed that she was stranded in the country on her Instagram account.

She shared a photo of daughter Hailee, eight, playing a card game with other children in a corridor, writing: "When [your] flight gets cancelled but Hailee kept everyone entertained."

Lynsey - who is also parent to Zoe, 13 - later posted an update to her followers, showing that their return Aer Lingus flight scheduled for this morning had been delayed.

Una more recently shared a selfie of herself and Lynsey, seemingly taken on board a plane, writing: "32 hours later ... still in Paris." She tagged Charles de Gaulle Airport.

The Irish Mirror reports that about 10 percent of all flights from the airport were cancelled yesterday due to strikes by ground personnel, according to an industry spokesperson.

That isn't the only issue affecting travel into Ireland, with Aer Lingus telling the outlet that some return flights to Dublin Airport are cancelled today due to a "spike in Covid cases."

This included a series of photos taken in front of the castle at the centre of the theme park, with Una and her children seen posing alongside pal Lynsey and her two daughters.

The Saturdays member said they were "having a magical time," whilst Lynsey told her fans: "So happy and my heart is full at how amazingly chilled and fulfilling this holiday is."
