Chrissy Teigen tearfully pleaded for her husband John Legend to answer his phone as she was caught in a terrifying airplane take-off
The model, 38, who has been married to the singer, 45, since 2013, documented her scare in a series of new Instagram Stories saying she was “bracing for impact” when the plane she was on went from “a thousand miles an hour” to “a complete stop”.
Her clips showed her tearing up, and she captioned them: “@johnlegend Please answer your phone. I’m on final destination.”
She added in the clips: “For like three seconds I was… absolutely positive that we were braking because we were going to hit something and we didn’t.”
Chrissy put the scare down to an “erroneous take-off”, but admitted she didn’t know exactly what that meant.
She paid tribute to airline staff during her videos, saying: “I am so grateful for these pilots and the plane for doing what it was supposed to do.”
Chrissy joked she grew “very religious all of the sudden” amid the fright.
The former ‘Lip Sync Battle’ host also told her followers she had almost been hit with her “worst nightmare” of sharing social media snippets from her flight before dying in an accident.
She went on: “All my last photos on Daily Mail would be, ‘She had beer cheese. That was her last meal.’
“My last words were nearly, ‘Meemaw’s beer cheese.’”
It was unclear where Chrissy was travelling.
She also posted a social media slideshow that included images of her and John’s four children – Luna, eight, Miles, six, Esti, 17 months and 11-month-old Wren.
Chrissy and John had their youngest child via surrogate last year and lost their son Jack in 2020 when Chrissy was 20 weeks pregnant.
