Lisa Snowdon showed off her incredible body in a cheeky bikini video from her Italian getaway on Friday. The presenter, 53, smiled for the camera as she flashed her bottom in the skimpy two-piece bikini, which was decorated with a pink and red leopard print design. Lisa finished off the look with a pair of black sunglasses and opted to wear her hair down in natural, free-flowing waves. In the video, she can be seen putting on a pair of matching shorts and a scarf before playfully posing for the camera. The cheeky clip ended with with her leaning down to blow a kiss as she continued her stay in Salento. It was captioned with a sun and drinks emoji, which were added together with a plus sign to the dancing emoji.

Fans were quick to praise the presenter for the clip and compliment her toned body, with the star previously explaining that regular exercise was her key to getting through the menopause. Amanda Holden replied to the video with fire emoji. Stylist Helen Canning added: 'Gorgeous!!! And obsessed with the matching shorts!' Claire Sweeney wrote: 'You look amazing xxxx' The bikini video comes after Lisa admitted she has 'reservations' about marrying her partner George Smart eight years after they got engaged. The model and communications firm founder, 44, first dated more than 20 years ago when she was a DJ at MTV and he was the channel's head of events. The lovebirds rekindled their romance a decade ago and got engaged in 2017. When asked when they're going to tie the knot, Lisa admitted she has a 'tiny hint of reservation' that marriage will 'change' their relationship. When asked when they're going to tie the knot, Lisa admitted she has a 'tiny hint of reservation' that marriage will 'change' their relationship 'Deep down I do know it wouldn't, but then I think, "Well my mum and dad's marriage didn't last," and some people say, "Don't do it because it changes things,"' she told The Mirror. 'So there's 90 per cent of me that knows nothing would change, but a tiny hint of reservation where I think it would.' George, however, said he has no hesitation and would marry Lisa tomorrow if they could get their friends - who are 'dotted around the world' - all together. He told the outlet he 'knows nothing would change' and is ready to 'have that bravery' to take 'the next step'. When asked what she's excited for about getting married, Lisa said: 'Being able to call him "my husband" and saying, "My husband's coming soon, I'm just waiting for my husband!" I think I prefer "my husband" to "my fiancé" – I'd love it!' The couple, who recently enjoyed a trip to the Caribbean to celebrate Lisa's 53rd birthday, are planning more travel in the future to Chile, Peru, Thailand and Guatemala. As for TV work, they said they'd love their own travel show, with George joking it should be called 'Couples Travel'.

Kendall Jenner cuts a chic off-duty model look in denim and striped shirt as she treats herself to a solo sushi dinner in West Hollywood

Kendall Jenner looked effortlessly chic in denim and a striped shirt as she was spotted heading to a solo sushi dinner in West Hollywood on Thursday. The American model and influencer, 29, was every inch of the off-duty model as she also sported a minimal white tee underneath and a navy baseball cap. She shielded behind dark shades and carried the essentials for the night into a large tote bag, finishing off with flip flops. Her sighting in California comes after she shared a picture of her 200 calorie breakfast which was 'packed with healthy fats that keep her thin'... after accidentally sharing she's a US size 2. The reality TV star posted the picture of her healthy morning meal to Instagram on Wednesday. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the lo op. Kendall Jenner, 29, looked effortlessly chic in denim and a striped shirt as she was spotted heading to a solo sushi dinner in West Hollywood on Thursday 'The whole plate is about 200 calories, and it's full of healthy fats that help keep her thin,' functional nutritionist Monica Partier tells as she broke down what the ingredients were. 'The meal consists of fresh berries like raspberries, strawberries and blackberries that have fiber and vitamins in them. It looks like Kendall added Matcha green tea powder, which is an antioxidant and contains vitamin C, chromium, magnesium, selenium and zinc,' added Partier. 'There are also a few small nuts, which contain healthy fats, and a splash of Greek yogurt which is high in calcium and protein, and supports gut health, and also is a healthy fat.' On the side was a Golden Milk Latte - a turmeric coffee beverage that gives the drink its famous golden color. 'Turmeric is rich in phytonutrients that may protect the body by neutralizing free radicals and it also has anti-inflammatory properties,' added Partier. Kendall, who stands at 5ft11in, accidentally revealed on her Kardashian Kloset page that she is a size two as she was forced to list the sizes of her old clothing to potential buyers. She has used her hot body to land a contract with Italian swimwear brand Calzedonia. The socialite looked her very best in a shoot last year by a swimming pool from photographer Cameron Hammond. In 2023, Kendall insisted that she wants a traditional marriage and three kids, though she admitted she's not ready to settle in an episode of The Kardashians. While her mother Kris kept not so subtly hinting that she wants Kendall to have a kid, the supermodel insisted that she has 'got this.' Kris tells Kendall that she had a dream about her having a baby, as Kendall asks, 'With who?' 'It wasn't clear who it was with, it was just you had a baby,' Kris says, asking if she'll ever want to have a baby one day. 'Of course. Three max. I'm cool with two, though. I just want my kid to for sure have a sibling, I know that,' Kendall says to Kris. Kris adds in confession, 'I know we're all different, but me personally, I would love to see Kendall have a baby, and she'd be such a good mommy.' Kendall responds in confession, 'I swear I got this, and I will give you a grandkid when the time is right and when it all makes sense perfectly.' She shared, 'I just think about my life and the freedom that I have right now and like the ease in just picking up and going somewhere, I just like that right now.' She clarified that after having a baby 'Your whole life changes. But I'm also like not gonna do it with just anybody.' She says she wants a wedding and adds, 'I'm traditional in that sense.'

EastEnders fans distracted by outrageous detail in background of Albert Square scene - but can you spot it?

EastEnders viewers were distracted by an outrageous detail in the background of an Albert Square scene. An old episode of the BBC soap featured a particularly notable headline on a newspaper stand. According to a fan on Reddit, the headline for the fictional Walford Gazette seemed to be about chicken yoga. The viewer penned: 'I love finding these 'made up headlines'.' 'I couldn't help but notice the headline on Walford Gazette probably says 'Chicken Yoga Takes City By Storm',' they added, followed by three chicken emojis. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The fan went on, 'Seriously, Chickens do Yogas?' and ended with a laughing emoji. It's not the first time eagle-eyed viewers found themselves distracted by background details in the show. During an episode in April, Jean (Gillian Wright) entered her home and pushed a pram through the doorway. She left a voicemail for her granddaughter Lily and was trying to find out where she was. Jean was looking after Lily's daughter and her great-granddaughter, Charli. Though the pram appeared to be empty when she entered the house, the camera then panned to show Charli sat inside it. Some viewers noticed the blunder and took to social media to point it out. One posted on X: 'EastEnders are really getting lazy when it comes to checking their scenes before adding them into the episode cause tell me why Jean's pushing an empty f****** pushchair then suddenly a child's in it #EastEnders.' Someone commented: 'Omg I did not notice this lol!' Another said: 'I was laughing so much when I seen this big L from the camera man.' While a fourth wrote: 'I noticed this too.' Someone else said: 'Oh dear lol.' While another added: 'I was watching an old episode of Brookside and the same thing happened there too.' Elsewhere, fans all made the same joke after a glaring Sonia Fowler blunder during a live episode in February. The nurse (Natalie Cassidy) welcomed her baby girl into the world after she was trapped in the Queen Vic during the fire. Viewers were worried that the youngster wouldn't survive after staying quiet after being born. Some viewers noticed the blunder and took to social media to point it out Sonia, Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) and Lauren Branning (Jaqueline Jossa) were over the moon when she finally started crying amongst the drama. By the instalment many fans pointed out the same thing about Sonia's daughter - that she had some how managed to dramatically grow in size throughout the live ep. One wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: 'Sonia's baby has tripled in size within 5 mins… #EastEnders.'
