Christine McGuinness was forced to extend her summer holiday while Montana Brown and Jordan North faced flight cancellations over the weekend.
The celebrities were amongst the thousands of stranded Brits who are stuck after 80 per cent of flights leaving the UK have been delayed, with disruptions continuing into the week.
Britain’s National Air Traffic Services (NATS) said it experienced ‘technical issues’ that forced controllers to switch from an automatic system for landing and dispatching flights to a manual one, on one of the busiest days of the year.
Christine, 35, kept in full spirits and made use of the extra time away as she relaxed on the sun lounger in a tiny pink bikini.
She took to Instagram and showed off her chiselled abs and tiny waist in the strappy two-piece and showed off her natural beauty with a bare face.

Updating her fans on the issue, Christine embraced the problem and recalled that everything happens for a reason.
She took to Instagram on Monday and wrote: ‘Stranded due to network failures across the UK airports.
‘No idea when we can get a flight home but I feel very lucky we found a place to stay.
‘I get extra time to make more memories with my babies.’
She later added another post and penned: ‘I trust the universe. I had jobs booked all week, a million things to do at home getting ready to prep for ‘back to school’ but…
‘We were meant to stay longer, we have more memories to make, time with my babies is priceless, I actually feel very grateful, we’re not home, but we have everything we need’.
Elsewhere, Montana revealed her flight abroad had been cancelled as she was left stranded in the UK.
The Love Island star, 27, took to Instagram Stories to reveal she and her fiancé Mark O’Connor didn’t even make it onto the plane before being told of the cancellation.

Montana, who welcomed her son Jude with Mark in July, revealed they were taken to collect their suitcases, throwing their planned getaway into doubt.
Posting a snap of baby Jude in the car, she wrote: ‘We’re going on a summer holiday supposedly… but flight is seriously delayed because of air traffic control. Do not do this to me universe, also how cute is Jude?’
Four hours later, she posted an update, writing: ‘Ok maybe we’re not going away as our flight has been delayed until 1am…
‘Although I just had a guzzle of breast milk to pass the time as I was thirsty and seeing as I can’t have dairy, I’m sure it’s actually v good for me so may continue to drink it lol.’
After two more hours passed, Montana revealed: ‘OK so flight has been cancelled.
‘Also as we were ushered back into arrivals to grab our suitcases I realised I will never be able to go through passport control through the e-gates until I’m near 40… as kids aren’t allowed.’
Elsewhere, Jordan North was left stranded at Malaga airport due to the air traffic chaos.
The Radio host, 33, took to Twitter to share that his flight disaster got from bad to worse since the airport ‘ran out of beer’.
Captioning his post with a picture of the bar, he wrote: ‘Delayed at Malaga airpot for possibly ‘many hours’, and they’ve ran out of beer at the terminal!’
Davina Taylor shared her thoughts ahead of her flight home as she shared a video to Instagram.
‘Who else has been caught up in this site traffic sh*t show?? @DrMilliRaizada re you a in Blighty yet ?????’ she questioned.

Meanwhile, Ore Oduba and his wife Portia said they were down to the ‘last three nappies’ for their children after being stranded in Greece.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, mum-of-two Portia explained the situation, saying that they were due to fly back to London yesterday, but their flight was cancelled.
The Strictly Come Dancing star, 37, and his wife, share Roman, four, and one-year-old Genie.
On Tuesday, officials were probing whether a single badly filed travel plan by a French airline was behind the air traffic control meltdown which resulted in thousands of cancelled flights during the worst outage in more than a decade.
Experts have warned that disruption is set to continue into the week despite the seven-hour ‘network failure’ that left thousands of holidaymakers stranded being ‘remedied’ on Monday afternoon.
Almost 1,000 flights were grounded and cancelled with several more delayed after Britain’s National Air Traffic Services (NATS) said it experienced ‘technical issues’. The mayhem happened on one of the busiest days of the year, when more than a million people were due to fly out of or land in the UK.
In an extraordinary twist to the fiasco, sources have told The Times that the fault may have been caused by an incorrectly filed plan by a French airline. MailOnline has contacted NATS for comment.
Passengers have been warned that they could face ‘days of disruptions’, which could last until Friday. An easyJet pilot told passengers he had never seen a failure on this scale in 20 years of flying.
It’s understood officials are aware of what caused the outage but not how it disabled the system. A cyber attack was also ruled out by NATS.
Cirium reported that more than 500 flights were cancelled by mid-afternoon, with hundreds more also aborted from knock-on effects.
It follows a ‘huge failure’ of the national air traffic control system which caused chaos on the August Bank Holiday Monday.
Britain’s National Air Traffic Services (NATS) said it experienced ‘technical issues’ that forced controllers to switch from an automatic system for landing and dispatching flights to a manual one.

‘Flight plans are being input manually which means we cannot process them at the same volume, hence we have applied traffic flow restrictions,’ NATS said. A spokesman told MailOnline there was ‘nothing to suggest a cyber attack’.
NATS said at 3.15pm it had ‘identified and remedied’ the technical issue affecting air traffic control systems and is working with airlines and airports to support the flights affected.
Transport Secretary Mark Harper said that despite the technical issue being resolved ‘flights are still unfortunately affected’.
He tweeted that he would ‘encourage all passengers to read the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s guidance & be aware of their rights when flights are delayed or cancelled’.
