Christine McGuinness 'stranded' abroad with 'no idea when she'll get home'

Christine McGuinness is ‘stranded’ on holiday with her children amid the chaos with UK air traffic.

The model, 35, hit for the sun with her children last week to make the most of the last days of summer before the youngsters head back to school.

However Christine has now revealed they’re stuck on holiday – with ‘no idea’ when they’ll be able to come home.

Major air traffic control failure has seen many flights disrupted across the UK, with celebs including Helen Flanagan among the thousands of people affected by the chaos.

Now Christine has taken to Instagram where she said she was ‘stranded due to network failures.’

‘No idea when we can get a flight home,’ she wrote.

Being stuck on holiday doesn’t sound like the worst thing in the world, and this is the view Christine’s taking too, as she added: ‘I feel very lucky, we gound a place to stay and I get extra time to make more memories with my babies.’

Despite losing out on work she had waiting for her on her return to the UK, Christine said she is choosing to ‘trust in the universe.’

‘I had jobs booked all week, a million thigs to do at home getting ready to prep for “back to school” but… we [were] meant to stay longer, we have more memories to make, time with my babies is priceless.’

She added: ‘I actually feel very grateful, we’re not home, but we have everything we need.’

Along with the captions, Christine shared a video of herself looking relaxed and happy at an apartment with a gorgeous sandy beach visible in the background.

Nearly 10% of all flights departing and arriving at UK airports were delayed on Monday – and it’s been warned the disruption could continue for days.

Travel expert Simon Calder weighed in with advice for holidaymakers, telling BBC Breakfast on Tuesday morning: ‘There are up to 200,000 people waking up this morning where they didn’t expect to be.

‘For some of them, it’s not clear when they’re going to get back, and I’m afraid things are going to get worse before they get better.

National Air Traffic Services (Nats), the country’s leading provider of air traffic control, said at 3.15pm on Monday that it had ‘identified and remedied’ the technical issue affecting its systems and it was working with airlines and airports to support affected flights.

A spokesman for Nats also apologised for the impact on people’s travel plans.
