Brian Dowling was wrapped up in travel drama this week, as his flight to Manchester Airport only had ‘fuel to circle for an hour.’
The former Big Brother star was headed to the UK to film the Real Housewives of Cheshire reunion when an airport emergency stopped all aircraft from departing or landing on the runway.
The expectant father took to Instagram to inform followers of the dilemma, as he finally landed safely in the English city.

‘Ok we finally landed at Manchester Airport. We had a bit of an issue in the air. When we were coming into land, the captain informed us that there was an emergency at Manchester Airport,’ Brian told his 195K followers.
‘So no one was able to take off or land and we had to circle for at least 20 minutes. But his concern was we only had enough fuel to circle for an hour. I started to panic.’
Thankfully, the reality TV star landed safely in the UK, as he worried about the prospect of seeing his luggage again.

‘Thankfully we only circled for 20 minutes. There was enough fuel. We have landed and now I’m like, “where’s my bag? My bag’s not going to come out”. I’m a panicker people. Here she is, here’s my bag all by herself.’
Brian recently shared an exciting update with fans ahead of the arrival of his first child alongside partner Arthur Gourounlian.
Taking to Instagram last week, Brian shared that their surrogate, Brian’s sister Aoife, is due over the next few weeks, as the family get their hospital bags packed and ready to go.
‘Single weeks people till the arrival of BDG [Baby Dowling Gourounlian],’ Brian wrote. ‘@Effidy_dowling_ you have been ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE through all of this. We are officially on the countdown.’
Brian also shared that work on their baby’s nursery has begun, with the expectant parents ever excited to welcome their first child.
‘The work on the nursery has just started & next week we are sorting all baby clothes then it’s time to pack those bags ready for the hospital. It still doesn’t feel real & I’m not sure we are actually ready but are you EVER READY?’
