Hollyoaks actress Jorgie Porter has revealed that her fiancé Ollie Piotrowski became involved in a physical confrontation with another passenger on a flight after the passenger complained about their 18-month-old son Forest travelling in business class.
The 38-year-old soap star recounted the incident during a trip to St Lucia with Ollie and their son. Speaking about the altercation, Porter said: "A lady kicked off. There was a physical fight with her husband and my man."
Well-Behaved Toddler Praised by Fellow Passengers
Despite the confrontation, Porter insisted that her son was well-behaved throughout the journey. She told The Sun: "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."
Porter clarified that Ollie did not retaliate during the incident, explaining that the other passenger had been the one trying to provoke a confrontation.
Parenting Choices and Family Life
Jorgie, who shares son Forest and daughter Peony with Ollie, also opened up about her parenting style while attending this week's TRIC Awards in London. She revealed she has chosen not to give her children iPads to keep them entertained when eating out, despite admitting it can make restaurant trips more chaotic.
She said: "I'm very proud and privileged to say that I don't give my kids an iPad." While stressing she does not judge parents who make a different choice, Jorgie admitted she embraces the unpredictable nature of dining out with young children. She explained that she doesn't mind "running around a restaurant with screaming kids", adding that she wants to enjoy those moments while her children are still young.
The actress also praised Ollie for being a supportive partner, explaining that they encourage one another's careers and celebrate each other's achievements while raising their young family together.
