Hollyoaks actress Jorgie Porter has revealed that her partner became involved in a confrontation with another passenger on a flight after they complained about their young son traveling in business class.
The soap star, 38, recalled the incident during a trip to St. Lucia with fiance Ollie Piotrowski and their son Forest, who was about 18 months old at the time.
Speaking about the row, Jorgie claimed another passenger had a problem with the toddler sitting in business class. She said: “A lady started. There was a physical fight with her husband and my husband.”
Jorgie went on to explain that despite the confrontation, her son was well behaved throughout the journey.

The actress clarified that Ollie did not retaliate during the incident, explaining that the other passenger had been the one trying to provoke a confrontation. The family later went on to enjoy their holiday in St Lucia after the event.
Jorgie, who shares son Forest and daughter Peony with Ollie, also opened up about parenting while attending this week’s TRIC Awards in London.
She revealed that she has chosen not to give her children iPads to keep them entertained when eating out, although she admits it can make restaurant trips more chaotic.
She said: “I am very proud and privileged to say that I am not giving my children an iPad.”
While stressing she doesn’t judge parents who make a different choice, Jorgie admitted she embraces the unpredictable nature of eating 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 each other’s careers and celebrate each other’s achievements while raising their young family together.
