Homes Under The Hammer star rages at easyJet – saying his two-year-old had to sit alone
BBC stalwart Dion Dublin has raged at airline company Easyjet saying it seated his two-year-old away from him and his wife on a flight.
The Home Under The Hammers presenter claimed his toddler was seated at the front of the plane away from her parents even though they pre-paid to book their seats.
Dion did not say where he was flying to with his wife Cheryl and daughter, Ruby.
He took to Twitter to vent his anger and tagged the airline.
"Would someone @easyJet please get back to me ASAP, to explain WHY you’ve changed all of our seats so we’re all separate," he wrote.
"Prepaid for seats.. traveling with a 2 year old and all now sitting apart. 2 year olds in 3a and wife and I are now randomly separated down the back. NOT Happy!"

Easyjet sent a couple of replies to the tweet which was quickly inundated with fans who were shocked at what happened.
The airline told The Sun: "EasyJet understands how important it is that families are allocated appropriate seating together.
"We apologise for an error that occurred with Mr. Dublin’s booking and his family.
“Our customer service team have been in touch with Mr Dublin directly and resolved the issue.”
