Recalling the incident, Davies said they they are fine now.

“On our way home from the Maldives, our plane started descending 30 minutes into our 1 hour flight and we end up landing on an island 45 mins away from our destination…after our second landing attempt we slid off the tarmac into a field," Davies shared the odeal on her Instagram story.

“Eventually, they moved us to a nicer room with seating, TV and Wi-Fi. We waited four hours for a rescue plane and (were) provided with accommodation in Malé (Maldives capital)." she added.

Davies saw a funny side to the whole incident as well when she said, "On a funnier note, we had dinner plans at the Shangri-La … but I wasn’t made about my Mamee noodles instead."
