Former Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh has shared an honest insight into parenthood, after flying to Cyprus recently with her two young daughters that she shares with husband, Hugo Taylor.
The 33 year old took to Instagram to share a sweet snap of herself at the airport in Cyprus, loaded up with no less than seven suitcases and two pushchairs containing her daughters, Sienna, three, and 18 month old Aurelia.
She looked like a woman who was celebrating an achievement, dressed in a white vest and blue jeans as she threw a hand up into the air and smiled.
The other snaps saw the reality of the plane journey, as Millie held her children in the UK airport and captured them on the flight.

In her lengthy caption, she kept it real with other mums out there as she described the experience of travelling with two children under three as "horrific," candidly saying it is "not for the faint hearted…no matter how prepared you are, you will never be prepared enough!!"
She said: "We took a yo-yo pushchair which can go in the over head luggage and I used a sling with Aurelia.
"I filled a hand luggage suitcase with different bags that could come in useful with changes of clothes, nappy changing bag, ALL of the snacks and entertainment, I packed sticker books for Sienna and a busy board book for Aurelia.
"The girls both have the same iPad and case with their favourite shows and games downloaded to avoid jealousy."
She added: "This all sounds very organised but the reality was a tornado of mess and tantrums!! The mess was horrific, I honestly don’t know how two such small people can create so much mayhem in such a small space! I felt so embarrassed when we got off the flight, apologies if you were sat near us!"
Millie described how the two girls acted on the flight with her youngest, Aurelia, "wanting to climb everything," and when the little one finally fell asleep, Sienna "started shrieking and woke her up".
She also described how she tried to keep a routine with the two young girls that she shares with her MIC beau, Hugo Taylor.
Speaking of the sleeping arrangements, Millie said that she co-slept with her youngest daughter, which she said was "amazing for the bonding moments and closeness but not ideal for my sleep!"
Ending her post, Millie concluded: "We had a lovely time away and the stress of travelling was massively outweighed by the amazing memories we made".
She then went on to ask her followers about their "recommendations" for travelling with kids when she goes on her next trip abroad in June.
Millie and Hugo recently celebrated their eldest daughter Sienna's third birthday by throwing a Frozen-themed party at their London home.
