Cara Delevingne and Ashley Benson were left devastated this evening after arriving at Gatwick Airport to find their flight had been cancelled amid the travel chaos.

The couple were pictured arriving at Gatwick on Friday evening, walking hand-in-hand with hopes of catching their flight to make their Christmas getaway.

However, it appears the Hollywood stars were just one of the hundreds of thousands of travellers stranded after drones flying over the airport caused runways to close on Wednesday.

Leaning on each other for support during the stressful and disheartening situation, Cara, 26, and Ashley, 29, were full of affection as they strolled through the airport and made their way to the departures.

Its possible the pair had booked a romantic trip for Ashleys birthday which fell last Tuesday.
