Richie and Gemma McCaw shame barefoot passenger on flight
All Blacks star Richie McCaw and his Olympian wife Gemma have shared their displeasure after an inconsiderate passenger invaded their personal space on a flight to the Rugby World Cup in France.
The couple - who were seated in economy class - were travelling with their young daughters Charlotte, 4, Grace, 2, and five-month-old Ella, when Gemma shared the video on Instagram.
"Lovely pedi colour but I think I'll have to put my foot down for this one," she captioned the Instagram story, as she panned to reveal the strangers barefoot on her daughter's armrest.
From across the aisle, Richie can be seen shaking his head in disgust.
In the next update, the Olympian showed her eldest daughter Charlotte writing a polite message for the stranger.
"Please put your foot down," the four-year-old wrote.
"I don't want to put my foot in it so Charlotte thought of trying this approach," Gemma captioned the story.
A few hours later Gemma revealed that the issue had been solved after a flight attendant stepped in.
"Update on the foot gate: hostess stepped in and asked her to kindly remove her foot from the seat. All is well."
Fans were quick to back the star, in an earlier post of the McCaw family at the airport.
"Please tell that guy resting his bare foot on the arm of your daughters seat to bugger off and to put on some socks and to remove his foot from that personal space," wrote one fan.
"Give that disgusting foot a shove after your daughter has drawn all over it," another commented.
"Off to watch some footie," quipped a third with a foot emoji.
"I hope you said something to the foot person, that is disgusting!!!" wrote a fourth.
