Olivia and Alex Bowen had an emotional day out with their son in Lapland UK on Sunday.

The Love Island star, 30, has two-year-old son Abel with husband Alex and they certainly looked like a happy family as they attended the festive attraction this weekend.

They had braved Storm Darragh – which is currently raging across Britain – although it seemed worth it for all three of them.

But the reality star did admit that she burst into tears several times throughout the day as she watched her son embrace the Christmas spirit.

She wrote on Instagram: ‘Hands up if you cried 172929 times today at @laplanduk

‘I don’t know what I expected, but every thought I had was literally blown out of the water, the most magical place

‘I’ll never forget the look on Abel’s face when he was about to meet Santa Claus

‘Honestly, the way it was set up, the amount of little details, the costumes, the people, the productions – everything was so magical – that’s the only way I can describe it!’

Olivia shared a carousel of photos from the big day out, where she marveled at how the little one enjoyed his time in the winter wonderland.

Another star who braved the weather was Made In Chelsea’s Binky Felstead, who has seven-year-old India with ex-partner Josh Patterson, as well as sons Wolfie, three, and Wilder, 20 months, with her husband Max.

She wrote: ‘Our sixth year at @laplanduk and I think it was the best yet!

‘Our favorite Christmas day – I’m never sure who loves the day more, me or the kids!!

“Friends have seen my posts over the years and always agree and say how special it really is.”

The reality star, 34, concluded her upbeat post by thanking Mr and Mrs Lapland for another ‘another incredible year’ as she revealed her children are in favor of Sana.

She said: ''Honestly, the way it was set up, the amount of little details, the costumes, the people, the productions - everything was so magical - that's the only way I can describe it!'

Lapland UK could cost £1,000 or more per family, with celebrities and royalty among those queuing to see Santa Claus in the middle of the Berkshire countryside, MailOnline revealed last year.

Britain’s most exclusive festive cave comes with a price tag to match, with more than 100,000 people queuing virtually in March to get their hands on tickets costing up to £179 each for Christmas 2023.

The Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children were among the well-heeled visitors to the Whitmoor Forest grounds near Ascot – just a 15-minute drive from their home in the grounds of Windsor Castle.

The family-owned business has just announced plans to launch a second location in Britain and expand into Manchester. The new location will open its doors to the public by Christmas 2025.
