Stacey Solomon revealed she was ‘nervous’ about travelling as she took her five children and husband Joe Swash on their first family holiday in four years, but delighted as one of her kids was lucky enough to sit in the cockpit of the plane and meet the pilot

Stacey Solomon admitted she was full of nerves as she headed off on her first family adventure in four years.

The mum-of-five jetted off on her first holiday with all children alongside husband Joe Swash.

Stacey, 33, said she was “nervous” about the journey, as it was newborn baby Belle and one-year-old Rose’s first time on a plane.

The family of seven all wore matching outfits as they took on the exciting adventure to Abu Dhabi, with Rex, 3, even getting to sit in the cockpit.

Posting the sweet family photo, Stacey wrote: “Here We Go. 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.”

The media personality was full of praise for the staff and fellow passengers, adding: “A massive thank you to the lovely passengers who were so chatty & sweet to us & the kids.

“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.”

The organised mum showed off her neatly packed suitcase, complete with labels and matching bags.

Stacey explained: “So many of you have asked where these bags are from. They’re the best thing I did to prepare.

“Sometimes I pack and I forget what I’ve packed so being able to see everything, I can check it off in my brain, especially with a newborn it’s been so helpful.”

She also expressed her excitement about getting to see her two daughters Rose and Belle experience their first plane journey.

“So last night we finally chose where to go on holiday and booked somewhere,” she wrote.

“We, all together, haven’t been on an airplane since our last family holiday in 2019 – four years ago. I’m sooo excited.

“It’ll be Rose and Belle’s first ever plane ride and Rex wouldn’t remember the last time we took him when he was five months.”
