Kate Ferdinand has revealed her family endured a “very scary night” at their home in Dubai but are now “safe” following missile strikes across the region. The television personality, 34, shared the update after Iran launched retaliatory attacks in response to a major US-Israeli operation on Saturday morning that reportedly killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iranian missiles struck multiple locations across the Middle East, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait. Ferdinand and her husband, former England footballer Rio Ferdinand, moved to Dubai last year with their kids, Shae, two, Cree, five, as well as Rio's daughter Tia, 14. Rio's sons Lorenz, 19, and Tate, 17, did not relocate with the family due to their budding football careers back in the UK. The couple are among a number of high-profile figures currently based in the region as tensions continue to escalate.
