Diana Vickers sets pulses racing in a hot pink bikini before slipping into a skimpy two-piece as she shares snaps from her Positano getaway
The singer, 34, first sent temperatures soaring in a hot pink bikini with green straps as she flaunted her toned figure.
She then slipped into a skimpy baby pink two-piece while sipping on a beer on the beach of the picturesque Amalfi Coast.
Diana also shared a stunning snap of her at dinner with a glass of red wine during sunset.
Showing off her sun-kissed complexion, the star wowed in a black halter-neck dress while enjoying quality time with her family.
Her photo dump was rounded off with some snaps of the incredible scenery and delicious food.
'La dolce vita (part 2) And fínale because the funs over and I'm actually eating a snickers on the sofa in Hackney,' she penned alongside the post.
Diana's holiday comes after she made a very X-rated confession about the craziest place she's ever had sex.
The influencer opened up about her love life secrets in the second episode of her new Metro podcast Just Between Us with Alice Giddings.
Discussing all things on modern love, sex, and relationship dilemmas, Diana revealed the wildest location of one of her romps - and it's not the most hygienic.
When asked about it, the star explained: 'Oh gosh. Oh, I definitely— I said this once. I've had— I mean, I've had sex in a public.
'Oh, I feel awful. Yeah, I've had sex in a public bathroom before with a long-term boyfriend, and it's not the easiest.
'And it was a bit smelly as well. It's not quite sexy, but I think we just— you know, together for a long time, you just gotta go for it.'
Alice replied: 'Yeah, yeah. I support that though.'
Diana continued: 'It was quite small, and you're trying to do the deed and you've got people— where is— yeah, it was a lot.'
'Are we talking portaloo, or are we talking like just poorly kept..,' Alice asked.
Diana replied: 'Just a very poorly kept, unhygienic bathroom.'
'Nice. Really, really sexy there. Really sexy,' Alice laughed.
It comes after the singer admitted she is nervous about having sex again after going eight months without intimacy.
During the first episode of her podcast, she confessed she has been enjoying a period of celibacy and self pleasure.
The star explained: 'I think I'm actually quite nervous about having sex again, because it's been like, nearly eight months.'
Revealing she recently went on her first date in a long period, she continued: 'When I was on my date the other day, and then we were holding hands, and he's like "I want to see you later." And then I'm like "what if he wants me to see his willy!"
And then you do it, you're like, "Oh my god. This is like, well, lucky for me. It was like, really mind blowing. And I was like, "Bloody hell this is great" but yeah.'
Yet despite her period of celibacy, Diana insisted she has the 'best sex with herself' as she opened up about sex pleasure.
'I think as well I this is a personal thing I've not had sex now for nearly eight months but I have the best sex life with myself.
'If you are pleasuring yourself and enjoying that and finding out what you love and it's really liberating I'm having a really good time with me at the moment.
'If if someone's like to me "Oh you're not sleeping with any at the moment." I'm like "No but like I do have my own sex life going on."'
Releasing a new episode each week, Diana and Alice will help tackle tricky relationship issues from ghosting and infidelity to the grey zones of intimacy.

Setting boundaries so work doesn't spoil a vacation
For their 15th wedding anniversary, Katie Walley-Weigert and her husband decided to take a beach vacation with their young son. But the trip didn't go as planned. Walley-Weigert wound up needing to pack her computer because of a work assignment she couldn't ignore. The 38-year-old marketing professional had just landed a podcast interview for an executive she worked with, and he had a short window to prepare. As she labored away through most of the vacation, she regretted not being present for her toddler's introduction to the ocean. 'I know my husband and my son are having this once-in-a-lifetime first experience, and I am missing it,' Walley-Weigert said. 'And it's heartbreaking in some regards, because that first will never come again.' Navigating the line between work time and personal time is tricky for a lot of people. With laptop computers and smartphones making it possible to log in anytime to do work from anywhere, many find it hard to disconnect even when they take vacations. 'It doesn't take much to just quickly answer an email on your phone or just quickly open up the laptop whilst you're lying next to the pool,' said Marais Bester, an occupational psychologist in the Netherlands, and senior consultant at SHL, a talent acquisition and management platform. "You get your company-issued phone, you get your company-issued laptop, and there is an expectation to some extent to respond as quickly as possible.' The compulsion to keep working while on vacation can be so strong that some people carve out time by feigning illness as an excuse to skip group outings, said Amy Biedenstein, senior vice president at human resources software and services company Dayforce. 'There's starting to be some pressure from families, too, to say, 'Hey, we need you to be focused and with us when we're on vacation,' so I think people are feeling increasingly like they have to hide it,' Biedenstein said. With the Northern Hemisphere's summer vacation season in full swing, experts offer practical advice for setting boundaries with work during your time off. Getting ready for a vacation Once you have your vacation dates set, let teammates know when you plan to be off. Make sure your time off is booked on your office's electronic calendar, which can reduce the number of work requests you receive while you're out, Biedenstein said. For many people, getting ready for vacation means working late the night before to finish time-sensitive tasks that can't wait until they're back. Try starting earlier. Assessing what needs to get done a week in advance may help reduce last-minute cramming. You can also block off the afternoon before you leave to tie up loose ends and your first day back in the office to catch up, said time management and productivity coach Alexis Haselberger. Set the automatic replies on your email, Slack and other apps to say you're not checking messages and will respond the week of your return instead of your first day back, Haselberger advised. If it's not possible to be completely out of touch, schedule times to check in on work and let co-workers know what those times will be. You also can share your preferred way to be contacted in the event of an emergency. When Biedenstein's children were little, she sometimes used evenings to work when she had to during family vacations. The time on task made her mind churn to the point she had trouble sleeping. Biedenstein shifted to waking up early and getting in an hour of work before breakfast. 'Once the family was up and moving, that was my cue that work is over and now it's family time,' she said. Leaving work starts with your phone Amanda Olsen, a reporter for the Times Review Newsgroup on Eastern Long Island, doesn't mind answering occasional questions from work when she is taking a staycation to get things done around the house. When she and her family take backpacking and multi-day canoeing trips in the Adirondacks, Olsen, 47, turns off her cellphone's alerts and notifications. To further make the most of the time outdoors, Olsen sometimes camps in locations with no phone reception. 'Part of that is to disconnect more thoroughly from the world and work,' she said. Some people recommend leaving work phones behind entirely during vacations. Others temporarily delete work apps such as Slack or email from their phones, although they may need help from tech support to reinstall the apps when they return. If being unreachable is not an option, set a time to check work emails and notifications once in the morning, and then leave the phone behind for the rest of the day. "It's really easy to take that work phone and set it down somewhere and walk away from it,' Biedenstein said. Time off starts at the top Pressure to perform turns work into an obsession for some people, especially if they're concerned about getting a promotion, Bester said. One coping strategy is a 'quiet vacation' — traveling to a vacation destination discreetly but checking email regularly and doing some amount of work. 'You know you need to take a vacation, you know your body desperately needs the rest, but you still might keep up appearances ... or there's a culture which expects you to always be on,' Bester said. One way to improve the chances of vacationing without interruptions is to put a structured plan in place to hand off projects to colleagues, he said. Leaders can encourage those steps. A manager or executive who immediately answers calls and emails, or checks in with employees instead of unplugging while on vacation, sends the message that the people working under them should do the same. 'When leadership models good behavior, when leadership can take a break and disconnect, then we see employees follow suit,' Biedenstein said. Employers also can show a workplace that recognizes the importance of time off, as well as a commitment to workers who struggle to pay for vacations, by offering corporate discount programs for airlines or cruises, Biedenstein said. The benefits of a pause Taking a clear break to recharge, refocus and take your mind off the daily stresses of the workplace is extremely healthy, Bester said. 'Just to zone out, go into your sort-of nothing box or do something that's pleasurable, you know, spending time with loved ones," he said. "All of those things have major benefits from a psychological well-being perspective.' After work intruded on her wedding anniversary trip, Walley-Weigert plans to go back to the same beach with her family. This time, as someone who now works as a freelancer, she's setting her own rules. She let her current and potential clients that she'd be offline for a few days. 'This is my take two,' she said. ___

Jos Buttler aims to follow Joe Root's lead and thrive as an ex-England captain
Jos Buttler is looking to Joe Root for inspiration as he looks to flourish in his 'new phase' as a former England captain. Buttler stepped down as leader of England's white-ball team earlier this year after two disappointing World Cup campaigns, passing the baton to Harry Brook over the summer. With his 35th birthday just around the corner, he could easily have walked away entirely in pursuit of guaranteed riches as a full-time franchise freelancer. But he remains committed to following the lead of Root, who has scored 14 hundreds and averaged 58 since being replaced as Test skipper by Ben Stokes. 'It's not that I wasn't enjoying my cricket before, but I obviously wasn't enjoying the way it was going,' he told the PA news agency. 'Part of the challenge of cricket is trying to come through that, being resilient and getting out the other end. 'I've had a bit of time and space and I do feel like I have a better understanding now of where I was as a player and captain. I'm a bit more relaxed and enjoying my cricket again. I do feel like I'm in a new phase of my career. 'Now that I'm not captain anymore it's about me playing the best I can for the team. I love playing for England, it's an honour, and I want to do as much as I can. 'Rooty has been a massive inspiration in that, seeing the impact I can have as a senior player. He's gone to some amazing new levels and he knows what it's like to not be captain any more and still give back to the team. That's the opportunity that is out there for me. Joe's a good mate of mine and has been really helpful in making that transition.' Buttler, who is the marquee player for Manchester Originals in the Hundred, was speaking at the unveiling of Compare the Market's new mural in the city, bearing his likeness alongside Southern Brave's Chris Jordan, Emma Lamb of Birmingham Phoenix and three aspiring juniors from the Chance to Shine street cricket programme. The tournament is in its final year before the arrival of eight new investment groups, who are set to pay a combined £520million for a seat at the table. Four teams will be tied to groups involved with Indian Premier League franchises and Buttler, arguably the Englishman most associated with that competition, expects big things. 'The level of investment is mindblowing. It's going to be the next evolution of the Hundred,' he said. 'The IPL is enormous, it's a different beast, and the owners will be bringing new ideas, new expertise and they will want to really push things to be the best they can be. 'The calibre of people getting involved, from the IPL to the tech giants, is awesome. It's going to be a really exciting time for English cricket, on and off the field.' :: Jos Buttler was speaking at the unveiling of a new mural commissioned by principal partner of The Hundred, Compare the Market in partnership with the children's charity, Chance to Shine.

A survey has shown 28 per cent of people avoid posting on social media when they are on holiday due to the fear of a burglary. The survey, carried out by home and motor insurance provider RedClick, found that 17 per cent of people do not lock all doors and windows when they are away. Advertisement 51 per cent of people will inform a neighbour or friend they are away, while 59 per cent of people will ask someone they trust to check in on their home when they are away, often the same person. Only five per cent of people have experienced a burglary while away on holidays. Eight per cent of respondents mistakenly believe that their standard Irish car insurance includes medical expenses incurred abroad in the event of a car accident. 46 per cent of people assume they are fully covered while driving in mainland Europe when typically, the level of cover varies based on policy and destination country. This misconception could carry serious financial consequences, particularly in the event of an accident requiring hospital treatment or emergency services outside of Ireland.
