She took to TikTok to share the to her son’s absence, leaving people in hysterics.

“There’s no bigger grass than a toddler,” Dione wrote over the top of a picture of herself and her son.

She then showed the message she’d received from the school: “Please could you contact the academy to advise why Isaac is absent today?”

“Attendance is more important than ever, every day matters,” they added.

Dione then replied: “Isaac’s got spots and a rash on him.

“We think it’s he’s going to the chemist for them to have a look at it.

“Thank you.”

However, she couldn’t have predicted the school’s reply.

“Isaac told staff that he was going to on a Jet2 aeroplane,” they wrote.

Dione concluded with a picture of her little boy looking delighted as he posed for a snap at the Immersive Coral Kingdom in Puerto de la Cruz, Spain.

“My five-year-old giving me instant karma for lying,” she captioned the TikTok.

Perhaps anticipating remarks she would undoubtedly receive from trolls, Dione turned the comments off.

However, it doesn’t appear to be the first time she’s taken her little boy out of school.

In another TikTok from 2024, Dione showed him belting out George Ezra’s Green Green Grass at a karaoke bar.

“Your son’s been marked as absent,” she wrote over the top.

“Can’t deal!” one person commented on that TikTok.

“Doesn’t get his confidence off me I need my hand holding phoning a takeaway,” Dione replied.

“Only your child,” another giggled.

“He’s so cute,” a third said.

To which Dione said: “Depends on the day of the week!”
