Former Strictly Come Dancing champion Ore Oduba and his wife Portia have shared their happiness and relief that their first trip abroad with baby Roman has been a success.
Portia shared her concerns on Instagram over travelling with their five-month-year-old last week, as they prepared to travel to Norway to visit her grandfather.
She admitted she was apprehensive about everything from what to pack to how to check-in their buggy for the flight.
But posting again this week, Portia said their trip was a complete success.
Beside a picture of her cuddling her son as they left the airplane, she wrote: “First family holiday, first flight and a whole host of other firsts accomplished.
“Thank you to everyone who suggested feeding them on take off it really worked and I even managed to time his naps for then so he was sleepy as well.
“The YoYo pram worked a treat through the airport and we just carried it on board and put in hand luggage, I found this super easy!”
She added: “We had a lovely break with my family in Norway and we were very lucky with the weather too! I was so apprehensive about taking Roman away for the first time as it all seems very overwhelming but like anything you do for the first time it really isn’t as bad as you think it’s going to be.”
She continued: “And as I’ve also learnt it doesn’t matter if you forget something, (bottles for my breast pump and you realise this on the way to the airport and start to freak out!), it’s only your passports you really can’t forget! Here’s to another adventure soon.”

“First trip abroad with the boy made all the more special with this lot happy Bank Holiday everyone #family #bankholiday #Norway,” he wrote beside a selfie of him, Portia and Roman with their relatives.
Portia’s friends and followers commented on her snap to congratulate her on surviving her first flight with a baby.

“Well done! Such a great achievement and the start of great adventures for your little one,” wrote another.
“Roman will be a seasoned traveller before long & you a professional,” said a third.
