She might have sung about Hitchin’ A Ride back in the 1990s, but Sinitta rarely travels anything but first class – with or without her children, eight-year-old Magdalena and seven-year-old Zac.
The star, who also famously sang Shame, Shame, Shame, clearly felt none as she revealed on Twitter that while her two young children flew economy to Barbados for their winter break - she turned left to enjoy the eight hour flight in first class on the same plane.
On a photograph of the cute pair, tweeted by mum Sinitta she wrote: '"Why did mama turn left and we turn right?" - "Cause Mama sitting with Santa, don't complain!" Oops!'
Economy class: Sinitta posted a picture on Twitter of her children flying economy while she travelled first class on the same flight
Tweet: The star admitted on her Twitter account she left her children in economy saying she needed to 'sit next to Santa' in first class
The phrase ‘turning left’ relates to the section of an aeroplane where first class is situated, if you turn right you are, generally, in economy class.
A close family friend, Jason Gale, told MailOnline he travelled with the family but while Sinitta holed up in first class he sat with Magdalena and Zac keeping them company during the flight.
He explained: 'We were very late booking our flights over to Barbados and could not get 4 seats together in any class on that day, so we got what tickets we could.'
As the singer wasn't feeling very well, Jason let her take the one first class seat they could purchase while he sat in economy with her two children.
He said: 'I decided that I want to travel with the Children and let Sinitta take the seat in first class.'
Sinitta adopted eight-year-old Magdalena and seven-year-old Zac just before Christmas five years ago with her ex-husband Andy Willner.
The So Macho singer has been seen spending time with her young family playing in the surf together.
