fight miles Jorgie Porter reveals partner got in ‘physical fight’ with passenger on flight over their baby being in business class
JORGIE Porter has revealed her partner got in a “physical fight” with a passenger on a business class flight to St. Lucia, after the couple complained about her baby sitting in the expensive seats.
The Hollyoaks actress, 38, was travelling with her son Forest, and said: “A lady kicked off. There was a physical fight with her husband and my man.
“It ended up being that she was the worst passenger and actually my child – who was one and a half at the time – being the best, sleeping the whole way through to St. Lucia, a fantastic passenger, and all the people on the plane commended us, actually.”
Clarifying that her partner, Ollie Piotrowski, 37, did not retaliate to the provocation, she confirmed the woman’s husband had been aggressively instigating a “pokey fight” with him on board the flight in 2024.
Gushing over her husband, she added: “I’m so obsessed with him. He’s so gorgeous, I can’t even.”
The family went on to enjoy their stay at the £12k-per-week Sugar Beach Viceroy hotel regardless of the incident.
Jorgie believes children should be allowed to run around screaming in restaurants – and refuses to give her children Forest, three, and Peony, one, iPads to keep them occupied while she dines in fancy places.
Speaking at the TRIC Awards at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel this week, she said: “I watched Toy Story 5 recently and I’m very proud and privileged to say that I don’t give my kids an iPad.
“I’m not judging parents that do, because obviously if they need peace in that moment, then that’s their time to do it.
“But I take pride in running around a restaurant with screaming kids and I actually quite enjoy that some people are like, ‘Oh!’ [in shock]
“Because I think I’m gonna run around with my kid I’m gonna break my back a little bit but in these moments. I think it doesn’t last long, so actually, I’m enjoying that.”
It helps that husband Ollie, who has started a business helping provide a future for children in care homes, is such a supportive person.
“He’s always supported me with my things going on. I stayed over in a hotel last night, so he’s having the kids. I would love to celebrate him and his journeys and his things so we like to concentrate on each other’s celebrations.”
Jorgie previously described taking her children on board a flight as a “plane ticket” as the perks mean she got to board early while jetting to Marbella.
She has also previously shrugged off “mum-shamers”, who she blocks online – though she admits that lost her lots of followers.
