An Apprentice star has claimed children should be put in the luggage hold after she slammed airlines for allowing kids in business class.
Lottie Lion, 23, took to her social media to share her frustration at being sat next to a 6-year-old on her flight to Paris. The ex-librarian - who appeared on the 2019 BBC series when she was 19 - shared a pic of herself on the plane with her head in her hands as she wrote: "Not to sound pretentious or anything (but we all know I am) why the fck are children allowed in business class? There's a bratty 6-year-old sat NEXT TO ME with the parents in the row in front."
The TV star received plenty of backlash for her comments, however, she decided to go one step further and say children should be put in the baggage hold. A fan questioned her post and asked Lottie: "What are parents flying business class supposed to do with their kids?" To which she brutally responded: "Idk, put them in the luggage hold or something I guess."

She starred on The Apprentice back in 2019 (BBC/Boundless)Despite not being pleased with her journey, Lottie shared pics of a stunning hotel room in the French capital soon after landing. The former The Apprentice contestant was rebuked by the BBC for 'inappropriate' messages in a WhatsApp group and using racist language in referring to one of her fellow contestants, during a controversial appearance on the Lord Sugar fronted show.
Lottie was banned from spin-off shows You’re Fired and You’re Hired after her fellow contestants made formal complaints. Two years after her appearance on the show, she said The Apprentice had been a catalyst for mental health battles that landed her in hospital and rehab. She was trolled on social media as well as being verbally abused in public and documented such an incident in 2021 where she was confronted at her local pub.

She shared a video on Twitter in which she wanted to highlight the effect the trolling and abuse she has received since the show has affected her. Writing on the social media site, Lottie said: "I am the saddest mess in this video & I know I’m going to regret posting it but this is my state after a woman’s unkind words. My mental health is deteriorating rapidly, due to abuse RE The Apprentice but bullying happens daily everywhere. I'm terrified to go out in public, but what am I supposed to do?
"Just not go outside and live my life? When you tell me how much you hated me, or how annoying you found me and how nasty I was...I know. I just went on a programme, I wish that I hadn't, its my biggest regret...just leave me alone." Lottie has since shared how she made a staggering £9,000 in one hour after she joined online subscription site OnlyFans earlier this year. The young TV star confessed there were so many requests for her to make an account that she "couldn't say no".
