Billie Faiers has admitted she went “mental” and saw the “red mist” descend after a stranger “slapped” her youngest child.

She said: “Arthur must have been about three.
“We were on our way back from Dubai and there was a family sat in front of us and Arthur was kicking off a bit, as they do.
“Don’t get me wrong, this is really annoying. There was a woman sat in front, a bit older, he kicked the back of her seat, I was like: ‘Oh god, so sorry.’
“Then he was having a bit of a tantrum, crying, she turned round and she smacked him,” Billie said.
How did Billie react?
Billie said she saw red.
“I went excuse me! I stood up… you know when you have the red mist and you’re shaking,” she said.
Billie, who shares daughter Nelly, seven, with husband Greg Shepherd, said the incident took place a couple of years ago.

Sister Sam – who is pregnant with her third child – then asked where she slapped Arthur, who is now five.
“She smacked him on his arm. I think she was German or something, when I mean I kicked off, I was going mental.”
She added: “Where we’re in the public eye, I thought what if someone’s videos that, but I was just so angry.”
Husband Greg was sleeping a few rows in front when the incident took place and Billie said the kerfuffle woke him up.
“He turned around to ask what was going on and I was literally going berserk at this woman,” she said.
“There must have been a language barrier but at the end of the day, she hit my child. She didn’t hurt him, but she slapped him.”
The situation was resolved when a member of cabin crew came over and everyone calmed down.
