I didn’t sleep very well last night. last night because obviously if someone tests positive we can’t go and we’ll have to rearrange it.

“I still think it won’t be the end of the world if we have to rearrange it, I think the situation with Manchester airport at the minute is an absolute nightmare and if I’m being honest I don’t feel like to do because I think it takes two and a half, three hours to get through security, check in also takes about an hour.

“Obviously when you’re sixteen you can double that well, so probably around five hours for us at that time, we would have probably missed our flight.”

She continued: “I don’t want to go through this, I have to admit. So I think it won’t be the end of the world if one of us tests positive, we can just rearrange it for later in the year. year, but obviously the kids will be absolutely devastated.”

Her daughter Katie added: “We hope it’s not crazy with the queues.”

Obviously that would be because the kids would be gutted, but that’s not a great experience for people, is it?”

Dad, Noel, later explained that the family would get up an hour earlier in anticipation of queues or delays.
