Taking to Instagram yesterday, Cara was delighted as the family made it aboard a plane.
Nathan told their followers: “Got the last flight out of Florida!!!! Someone's looking down on me.”
Cara added: "Finally on our way home.”
But their joy was short lived as the plane was unable to leave due to a fault.
Explaining the situation, Cara said: "So we've missed our connecting flight and we're back trying to find another way home."
Speaking in a video message, she continued: "There are loads of stranded English people on the flight all in exactly the same position.
";We got on a flight to JFK (airport) got to the runway they said there was an issue with the engines and they had to try and fix it."
After much deliberation the pair decided to remain in Florida for their next option out after deciding they would rather not wait around in New York – due to it being so badly hit by coronavirus.
