Robbie Williams has revealed that he lets his kids fly in economy while he’s up front in first class with his wife

The ‘Candy’ singer has 4 children with his wife Ayda Field – Teddy, 11, Charlie, nine, Coco, five and Beau, three.

However, when the family are travelling, the pair do not let their kids come with them in first class. Instead, they make them sit in economy.

“My kids fly economy whenever we fly. I turn left and they turn right. That’s terrible. I mean, people will think I’m such a d***,” Ayda told The Sunday Times.

“There’s no interest in raising brats. My kids will know [economy] is where they will sit in a plane until they can pay to put themselves in a different part of the plane,” she added.

Robbie and Ayda are not the only ones who refuse to let their kids lead a pampered lifestyle.

Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana have previously admitted they will also let their kids fly economy while they go in first in order to keep them “grounded”.

“They haven’t worked anywhere near hard enough to afford that,” the celebrity chef said.

“I do not want them sat there with a 10 course f***ing menu with champagne. It is my wife and I’s choice to keep them real.”
