Michelle Keegan stuns in a cut-out swimsuit as she shows off her figure three months after welcoming baby daughter with husband Mark Wright
Michelle Keegan stunned as she modelled a swimsuit on Tuesday three months after welcoming a baby daughter with her husband Mark Wright.
Showing off her figure in the brown cut-out one piece, the actress, 38, posed for an Instagram update.
Michelle teamed the swimwear, from her latest collection with Orfila Bee, with a cream sarong, which tied in a knot at the front.
She accessorised with a straw cowboy hat, a woven beach bag and a pair of sunglasses.
Michelle set up the brand in the summer of 2022 and previously revealed that Orfila was her Grandma's maiden name - describing her as a 'big influence' in her life.
Elsewhere, the actress has reportedly signed a six-figure advertising deal to become the new face of Sky.
The deal is Michelle's first major job since she gave birth to her daughter Palma - who she shares with Mark Wright - in March.
Michelle will film a series of promo clips with fellow British actor Idris Elba, who already appears as the 'face'.
A source told The Sun: 'Michelle has really been enjoying maternity leave with Palma, but she'll be back to work soon to film these new adverts for Sky.
' Brassic is ending after the seventh series and Michelle is keen to still be a part of the Sky brand.
'Landing this ad is huge for Michelle, as she's fast becoming a brand in her own right. Everything she touches seems to turn to gold.'
After leaving ITV soap Corrie in 2014, Michelle's career took off, with hits such as BBC military drama Our Girl, Sky's Brassic and BBC's Australian drama Ten Pound Poms.
Last year, she had the starring role as Maya Stern in Netflix's Harlan Coben thriller Fool Me Once - which racked up more than 100 million views globally.
Michelle and Mark have been enjoying their time as parents and have been sharing small glimpses of Palma on their social media accounts.
It's believed the couple chose the name Palma because of their strong links to Mallorca, which has been their go-to holiday destination for years and the setting for their pregnancy reveal photoshoot.
The celebrity couple and their daughter Palma, three months, are currently at the swanky £300-a-night SO/ Sotogrande Spa & Golf Resort Hotel.
The sun-soaked getaway is baby daughter Palma's first holiday abroad.

New diamonds please — the invention of the tennis bracelet
Summer is the season for tennis with its green lawns and strawberries and cream. And if rain happens to pause your Wimbledon viewing, why not take a moment to consider your sporting jewellery? Tennis bracelets are a classic option — slim lines of gemstones to wear on tanned tennis-playing arms. According to a 1923 advert for 'Bracelets for bare arms' — 'when fashion dictates the short sleeve, it is a good opportunity to display a dainty bracelet'. Line or eternity bracelets became inseparable from tennis in 1978 when Chris Evert's diamond bracelet fell off during a match, halting play while it was retrieved. When she was asked what had caused the delay, she explained, 'It was my tennis bracelet', giving the jewel its new name. This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue The classic line bracelet, now marketable as a tennis bracelet, took off in style. In 2022 Evert collaborated on a modern line of tennis bracelets with the jeweller Monica Rich Kosann. One design joined different diamond cuts to represent the white lines of the court with a rectangular green emerald or tsavorite for the grass. A diamond drop adds a glamorous representation of the player's sweat (£800 to £20,000, Cartier's current version of the tennis bracelet can be found in its Essential Lines range, including a pretty example with alternating diamonds and sapphires (from £26,000, Boodles' tennis bracelet features a diamond and gold ball attached to a line of diamonds (£13,000, while Tiffany's Victoria collection has a little floral detail, forming the clasp (£20,500) or encircling the wrist (£56,500, Chris Evert wasn't the first to connect tennis and jewellery. In July 1877, The Times noted that lawn tennis was 'the most recent pastime which has lately been adopted as an outdoor amusement'. Tennis became the sport of choice for fun-seeking young Victorians and 1920s flappers. Not only did it offer the pleasures of exercise and competition, it was also a way for young people to socialise in mixed-sex groups, with the appropriate clothes and jewels. Many a love affair or marriage started on the tennis court. Tennis players and fans could buy racket-shaped brooches decorated with jewelled balls or charm bracelets with tennis-themed accessories to show off their hobby. In 1893, the Fleetwood Chronicle's list of Christmas jewellery for men stated that 'the latest cufflinks have each side of a totally different design; for instance, a jockey cap is combined with a whip, a horse shoe to a hunting crop, a tennis racquet to a ball, all highly appropriate if presented to lovers of the various sports thereof'. Fans of vintage jewellery could look out for Tiffany's green and white enamel cufflinks with racket detail or tennis rackets set with diamond balls, originally retailed by Hennells of Bond Street. Sport has been an inspiration to fashion designers from the early 20th century. Coco Chanel's beach wear and comfortable sports inspired clothes turned away from the corsets and laces of the prewar years and caused a sensation. The New York Herald, June 4, 1916, claimed they were 'so smart that the women must have them at all costs'. Chanel continued to explore sporting fashions in their 2024 Haute Joaillerie Sport collection with clean graphic lines united to fabulous coloured gemstones. Aluminium tube chains become necklaces and snap hooks turn into sporty brooches. Yachting is also a summer pleasure, both a sport and a social occasion, particularly at competitions such as the Cowes races. Yacht owners and visiting sailors in the early 20th century liked to wear little pins and brooches in the shape of the triangular burgee flag. Colour could be added through enamel or gemstones. Nautical styles appealed to the British royal family, especially Edward VII, Queen Victoria's society-loving oldest son. Jewellers like Cartier and Fabergé created fantastic nautical jewels, like a lifebelt-shaped brooch enamelled with the name of the Russian Imperial yacht and an iconic egg with a model of the Standart Yacht. Nautical jewellery was also available for less exalted wearers. The Daily Mirror told its readers in August 1912 that 'few people living on board a yacht go away without purchasing some piece of yachting jewellery. […] Bangles adorned with little jewels and enamelled port and starboard lamps are one of this year's novelties, and jewelled burgees set in circles of diamonds are also to be seen'. Benzie of Cowes has supplied these yachting novelties since 1862 and continues to do so. In the 1960s and 70s, Cartier took inspiration from naval life with its gold anchor-shaped brooches and chains shaped like the links of an anchor chain. A 1960s Bulgari necklace used a fully functional carabiner to connect golden links of ship's chain. Messages at sea, before the invention of direct ship to ship communication, were transmitted through a system of flags. This nautical language was deployed to send jewelled messages of affection or to spell out the initials or name of the wearer. But, caution was required, according to a newspaper of 1895, which warned its readers that the flag brooch or bracelet might convey an unexpected message, noting that — 'one sees a saucy little brooch with three flags, which to the yachting man plainly says 'come alongside'.' Perhaps not quite the intention of the wearer. Golf offered the same opportunities for socialising and stylish dressing as tennis and also inspired jewelled accessories. Golf-themed jewellery was particularly popular around the end of the 19th century, with tie pins and brooches in the shape of niblicks, drivers, golf bags and balls, sometimes enamelled with the apt motto 'Far and Sure'. Today Aspinal of London has a range of sterling silver sport-themed cufflinks, including these featuring a little golf bag (£220, Sport offers healthy exercise, a feeling of independence, freedom to socialise and even the opportunity for romance, but through history, it has also inspired jewellery firms to create the perfect themed objects for their customers.

Nadia Bartel flaunts her ample cleavage and bikini body as she models swimwear during envy-inducing trip to Sicily
She is currently enjoying a dream holiday in Sicily. And Nadia Bartel showed off her enviable tan and bikini body as she stripped down to a white bikini on Monday. In footage shared to Instagram, the Henne designer looked super toned in her Capri bikini top and matching bottoms by Monday Swimwear. She confidently showcased her ample cleavage as she modelled the two-piece in her rustic luxury villa. The former WAG styled her signature honey-hued locks in soft waves and wore minimal makeup for her day of relaxing. 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. Over the past week, the social media sensation has been sharing a series of updates from her luxury European getaway alongside boyfriend Peter Dugmore and her two sons - Aston, nine, and Henley, six. Nadia and Peter are going from strength to strength, having met after Peter slid into the Instagram model's DMs. 'I don't usually respond to Instagram messages, and I don't know if it was because I was feeling lonely, but I responded,' she told her followers on Instagram. 'I looked at his profile and we had some mutual friends and he looked like a nice guy. He also didn't have a lot of posts – and I liked that,' she said. Nadia continued: 'I really enjoyed the chats but I never thought I'd ever see this person – it was just nice to chat. I was in a good place with my mental health and I didn't want to put myself in a position where I could be hurt again.' The designer eventually met up with Peter at The Tan, a popular running route in Melbourne, and said they have been together ever since. Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Nadia recently revealed marriage was currently not on the cards for the couple. 'I don't think so,' she laughed. 'You know when you've done that then you're like I don't know If I'd do that again.' 'But when you meet someone that you feel like you want to marry it's a good feeling. We are so happy. He's a good boy.' Nadia and Peter went Instagram official in December 2022. The pair confirmed their relationship by getting hot and heavy in a photo shared to Instagram Stories. Nadia told Daily Mail Australia her relationship with the former footballer-turned-model is going swimmingly. 'My love life is going well. It's good. I'm happy,' she shared. After going public in late 2022, Nadia and Peter have often been seen cuddling up at exclusive events and on sweet dates around Melbourne. Nadia announced her split from retired AFL star Jimmy in August 2019, five years after they tied the knot on the Bellarine Peninsula. She shares her sons, Aston and Henley, with her AFL star ex-husband Jimmy Bartel, who she was married to from 2014 to 2021.

Lily Allen and James Norton 'share a backstage snog as they party with Charli XCX after enjoying an unlikely first date at her Lido Festival show'
They've surprised fans by enjoying a first date after meeting on the celebrity dating app Raya. And it appears that Lily Allen and James Norton made the most of their first outing, with the pair reportedly seen snogging backstage while attending Charli XCX's Lido Festival show on Saturday. The singer, 40, and actor, 39, were pictured cosying up to one another and sipping on non-alcoholic beers as they watched Charli's show in the capital, before heading to a backstage compound to party with the singer. A source told The Sun: 'James and Lily looked very into each other and they were snogging backstage. 'We were all quite surprised to see them there together, let alone kissing. 'I don't think they've even known each other that long, but it was a fun hang-out backstage and they got taken away by the vibe.' Lily ended her marriage to Stranger Things star husband David Harbour, 50, in December 2024 after four years of marriage, following her discovery he had a secret profile on Raya. Meanwhile James is said to have split from model girlfriend Charlotte Rose Smith, 26, last month before being spotted back on the star-studded dating site. Raya is so exclusive that it accepts only around eight per cent of applicants, but it has more than 10,000 members, with 100,000 on the waiting list. James' Raya profile is said to feature photos of the Happy Valley star with a shaved head – a dramatic new look he's adopted for his upcoming role in Sunny Dancer, currently being filmed in Scotland with co-star Bella Ramsey. The hunk, who is a strong contender to be the next James Bond, started dating Charlotte late last year and was pictured out with her on several occasions. At the time, an insider told The Sun: 'They have been enjoying dates and seem very happy together. 'It has been a year since his relationship with [ex Imogen Potts] ended and he appears to get on so well with Charlotte. They make a lovely couple.' Not long before Lily split from husband David, she turned amateur sleuth after speculating that David had 'cheated' on the same dating app where they met. Meanwhile James is said to have split from model girlfriend Charlotte Rose Smith (pictured) last month and was also spotted back on the exclusive dating site. She was left in 'agony' when she allegedly discovered the actor had a secret profile, The Mail on Sunday revealed. The pop star joined the app herself, pretending to be 'looking for women' – and allegedly found that David had already set up a dating profile. He was reportedly listed on the app as being active for at least a month. Once users find a new partner, they usually disable their profiles. A source said: 'Lily was looking for women that were on Raya and cross-referencing them with women David follows on Instagram to try to figure out who he was seeing. She was doing her Wagatha thing. 'Lily only rejoined Raya to try to figure out whether he was seeing someone. 'Lily has never even looked at anyone since she met David. She is devastated. He broke up with Lily a month ago. 'He was meant to be on holiday with her in Kenya over Christmas.' David's alleged dating profile, exclusively revealed by the Mail on Sunday, read: 'Visiting New York from Atlanta' and 'closet nerd that plays tough guys on your TV'. It also described him as living in Atlanta, Georgia, 800 miles from the family home in Brooklyn, New York, where the couple moved in 2020, with Lily enrolling her children in local schools. He bought a house in Atlanta last year to be closer to the Stranger Things set as the show was filming its fifth and final series. Lily's circle of London friends said she had suspected for some time that her husband was interested in other women. By the time the couple broke up, she had become convinced that he had a secret girlfriend.
