We've heard of people getting held at airports over weird-smelling leaves or plastic guns (that was us, apparently you can't take plastic guns on a plane, even if you're going to a cowboy party), but this is the first time we've heard of someone being stopped because they have their own baby with them. Poor old Myleene Klass was held at Heathrow Airport for hours after immigration officials became suspicious that her daughter Ava wasn't actually hers. The TV star was on her way back from a working trip to Australia with 11-month-old Ava, but without her fiance Graham Quinn. Myleene said, "They looked at Ava's passport and said, 'Are you sure you're her mother? Her name is Quinn'." The young mum was left pretty upset by the incident, saying, "I was just made to feel like I was smuggling, or kidnapping, my own daughter. What did they want? A DNA test?"
