Brian Dowling has revealed the stress it has taken to grab a quick getaway with his other half after a number of delays as a result of Storm Bert. The broadcaster and presenter and his Dancing with the Stars husband Arthur Gourounlian took part in ‘military style’ planning to make the 24-hour trip possible. The pair share two children — Blake and Blu — with their solo trip requiring them to enlist help from family to mind the girls.
‘We got a message yesterday saying our original flight was now cancelled and we were being transferred on to the next available flight, which was six hours later,’ Brian revealed, adding they needed to think of a back-up plan. ‘Our new plan now involves us flying to Luton first & then making our way to London,’ he revealed. Of course, it wasn’t all smooth from then, with their new flight delayed by an hour as a result of the storm.
A post shared by Brian Dowling Gourounlian (@bprdowling) Brian added: ‘We’ve just spent the last 5 mins stood in gale-force wind & rain trying to board, so please excuse the UTTER STATE of my hair.’ Remaining positive, the Kildare native noted the ‘it will take more than this to dampen our SPIRITS.’ ‘So London, WE ARE STILL COMING FOR YOU!!!’ Friends and followers took to the comments to extend well wishes to the couple on their quick getaway.
One said: ‘Enjoy so well deserved.’ Another added: ‘Enjoy your break xxxxxx.’ A third wrote: ‘Awwww! Have a ball.
.. London is the best at this time of year.
’ Earlier this month, Arthur slammed trolls after he was subject to more ‘horrible, disgusting and inhumane’ abuse. After frequently discussing the negative attention their family receives, the father of two questioned: ‘When will enough be enough?’ Taking to social media , Arthur reassured followers that he was ‘absolutely fine’ but revealed there were ‘about 20 individuals consistently targeting me and my family.’ The TV personality admitted that the messages he had received had left him ‘speechless’ once again.
