Stacey Solomon made the most of a work trip to Lake Como, taking the afternoon off for a spot of sunbathing on Tuesday.
The busy mum of five, who has jetted to the idyllic location to shoot with her haircare brand Rehab, stripped down to a skimpy orange bikini for some time by the pool with her colleagues.
Stacey looked gorgeous in the tiny two piece, confidently strolling around before taking a cooling dip.
Pulling her hair up and slipping on some shades, Stacey laughed and chatted with her team as they relaxed after a busy few days of shooting content in Italy.
Stacey has been keeping her 6.1m Instagram followers up to date with her travels with the haircare brand she invested in two years ago.

Last year, after documenting her progress in her newly built home gym, Stacey shared an inspirational message with her followers where she embraced her 'hip cushions' and 'boobs which can hold my gym essentials'.
After sharing a picture of herself on her Instagram Stories coming back from the gym in a pink T-shirt and leggings, the mother-of-five was inundated with messages from her followers who commented on how great she looked.
Stacey then took to her social media to address the influx of messages she had received.
Standing in front of a mirror with some of the comments displayed on screen she said: 'I've had so many lovely messages like this lately, but I thought it was really important to come on here and say when I take the gym clothes off I look like this...'
The Loose Women panellist hen proceeded to pull her leggings down past her hips and flaunt her unfiltered and non photoshopped body.
She added '...Which is also really pretty and a really lovely body and I just feel like it's important to show that.'
Pulling a can of deodorant and a hairbrush out from under her breasts, Stacey then joked: 'Don't get me wrong, I've got abs for the first time in my life, but I can still very comfortably lay down on my hip without feeling a thing and when I take my sports bra off, there's still enough weight and length in my boobs to hold my gym essentials.
'Deodorant, a hairbrush, you name it, these babies can hold it! But yeah I just posted that for anyone who might need to see it today or ever.'

Stacey then uploaded the video onto her grid and captioned the post: 'Just because I think it's important to see you can have abs (some days) and also have hip cushions and a womb!!! You're perfect & I'm sure the bodies you may aspire to, look different, depending on the day/clothes/hormones/angles.
'I've been consistently going to the gym for nearly a year! Wahoo (I know who I am?) But that means I spend a lot of time in gym wear which is specifically designed to hold you together & support you so you don't get a nipple in the eye on the treadmill!
'So just thought I'd show you my body underneath because I don't think we see it enough. Do what makes you feel good & that you enjoy. Your happiness is the biggest priority'.
Fans flocked to her comment section to praise the star for how open and honest she had been

Stacey's trip abroad comes after she suffered some heat recently when her followers turned on her over her ill-judged rant after losing out on a prize at the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards.
While she congratulated the winners, Stacey couldn't help but reveal how 'gutted' she was for her team who 'deserved' the award as she declared that they were 'robbed'.
Fans claimed Stacey is starting to 'show her true colours' compared to her usual wholesome demeanor and told the BBC presenter to 'grow up' and that she has 'got too big for her boots'.
However not everyone agreed and others believed Stacey was being 'refreshingly honest' and was simply just 'disappointed for her team'.
In the original video, Stacey fumed: 'We didn't win a BAFTA. And I know I'm supposed to take it gracefully like a champ but, I'll be honest, I'm devastated!.
Laughing at her reaction, she continued: 'I'm not handling it very well, I'm not taking it very gracefully - I'm devastated! I'm devastated for our whole team, like I'm so gutted for our team.
'Everyone got dressed up and was really hopeful, I think because they work so hard. It's not an easy show to make, Sort Your Life Out and the team work so hard to make it happen and they so deserve the BAFTA.
Stacey rose to fame after appearing on the X Factor and while she chose not to pursue a career in singing, Stacey has gone on to become one of the most successful names from the ITV show

'The Sort Your Life Out team deserved a BAFTA and I'm devastated. I'm not saying that everyone else didn't deserve their BAFTAs, they absolutely did.
'People think making TV is really easy and it's not, so everyone deserves recognition. But I'm just gutted for my whole Sort Your Life Out family because I feel like they deserved a BAFTA. I'm gonna say it - I'm gutted!'.
Going on to reveal what it takes to make their show, she went on: 'We'll pack up a house and within seven days that house is packed up, into vans, over to a warehouse, laid out on the floor, we go through it meticulously, we make sure it doesn't just get chucked away.
'We donate, we recycle, we resell things. We put it all back and try and put it in systems to help families move forward...'
She also gave a shout out to the families who give up their time and open their homes to TV audiences, especially when they run the risk of being judged.
However not everyone agreed and others believed Stacey was being 'refreshingly honest' and was simply just 'disappointed for her team'
Stacey now juggles work on Sort Your Life Out with her family reality show for the BBC as well as her many businesses like REHAB.
Stacey's involvement in REHAB Your Hair marks the first time she has ever invested her own money in a business.
The star, who rose to fame on The X Factor 15 years ago has amassed a huge fortune after putting name to everything from cleaning products, TV shows, clothing lines and crafts.
And after running her business empire from Pickle Cottage in Essex, Stacey's next business move is to head Stateside as it was recently revealed that she is in talks to launch her hugely popular hair brand in the US following its success in the UK.

Warhammer maker Games Workshop to reward staff with £20MILLION payout
Games Workshop is handing its employees £20million following another bumper year for the beloved tabletop games maker. The Warhammer creator, which has struck a deal to have its creations star in potential TV and film blockbusters for Amazon, said the cash payments would be given on 'an equal basis' to every staff member. Games Workshop's shares have soared in recent years and it joined the UK's leading FTSE 100 stock market index for the first time last December. The £20million payout represents an increase on the £18million awarded last year and £11million the year before that. It comes as Games Workshop forecast sales to soar to at least £560million for the year ending 1 June, up from £494.7million in the previous 12 months. British actor and Superman star Henry Cavill, a self-declared lifelong fan of the figures, will star in and produce a Warhammer 40,000 series with Amazon Prime and Games Workshop. Last December, Cavill posted on Instagram: 'To celebrate some Warhammer news, I decided to make a pilgrimage to the very first place I bought Warhammer models over 30 years Little Shop, on my home island of Jersey! 'My incredible team and I, alongside the brilliant minds at Games Workshop, have been working away in concept rooms, breaking down approaches to the enormity and magnificence of the Warhammer world. 'Together, we've been sifting through the plethora of incredible characters and poring over old tomes and texts. 'Our combined efforts have led us to a fantastic place to start our Universe, which has been agreed upon by those up on high at both Amazon and Games Workshop. That starting place shall, for now, remain a secret.' Games Workshop said today that it expects to achieve record licensing sales of about £50million, although the company does not envision repeating that figure in the next financial year. Alongside this, the business believes its core operating profits and pre-tax profits will total no less than £210million and £255million, respectively. Two months ago, Games Workshop upgraded its earnings forecast thanks to strong trading across licensing and its core operations. This followed the firm's best-ever first-half result, with sales buoyed by record retail sales in the UK, North America and Continental Europe. Revenues were further boosted by the release of video game Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, which sold two million copies on the opening day of its launch and five million by the end of November. During the half-year period, Games Workshop agreed 'creative guidelines' with Amazon to adapt Warhammer 40,000 into films and television shows. In addition, the company entered the blue-chip FTSE 100 after enjoying nearly a decade of consistent growth under its chief executive, Kevin Rountree. During his tenure, Games Workshop has improved its relationship with fans and introduced games with more simplified rules, including Blood Bowl, a parody of American football. Its revenues benefited considerably from the Covid-19 pandemic, when consumers sought new indoor hobbies to occupy their time. Although lockdown curbs eventually ended, the firm's trade has continued expanding, and its market value now stands at almost £5billion. Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said: 'Games Workshop has a rock-solid core business, underpinned by an army of fans emerged in its fantasy worlds who collect miniature figures and play its board games. 'This success has enabled the company to build a rich library of intellectual property that is now the platform for additional revenue generation. 'Licencing the rights to certain brands and characters is easy money, but Games Workshop is fiercely protective of its assets and won't let anyone come along and milk them.' Despite the optimistic forecasts, Games Workshop shares were 4.5 per cent lower at 15,150p on Friday morning, making them the Footsie's biggest faller.

Love Island fans convinced pair had SEX just three days into show as they sneak to hideaway
LOVE Island fans are convinced Harry and Helena had sex just three days into the show. The Sun revealed this week that air hostess Helena, 29, and semi-pro footballer Harry, 30, spent the night together in the hidden suite on Monday. 4 4 And on tonight's show, the pair sneaked away to the Hideaway for some alone time and enjoyed multiple kisses. They struggled to keep their hands off each other and Harry then pulled the covers over their heads. The following morning, Harry and Helena told the rest of the Islanders that they just had a kiss and a cuddle. But viewers watching at home think the pair got up to a lot more than that. One wrote: "Having sex on international tv on day three???" The Sun have reached out to ITV for comment. On last night's show, Shakira, who is coupled up with Harry, visited the Hideaway with Blu, who is with Alima. Watch the awkward moment Love Island stars sneak out of the bedroom for steamy night in the Hideaway - leaving partners fuming The pair shocked fans as they shared a kiss just minutes into entering the cosy private area. Tonight Harry found out about their snog from fellow Islander Dejon, leaving him gobsmacked. Harry then suggested to Helena that they sneak off to the Hideaway in the middle of the night. But they were rumbled after their fellow Islanders spotted them running out of the bedroom together. A source said: 'This is the fastest sleepover in the Hideaway in Love Island's twelve series history - and what a gorgeous pair to do so. 'In the past, producers had to invite Islanders to use the breakout bedroom which meant the love nest was generally not used until couples became more established. 'But producers have changed the rules of the breakout bedroom so it can be used at any time, without an invite. 'It means Helena and Harry could take advantage of the 'no invite needed' and explore their connection. 'The scenes will play out later this week, but bosses are unlikely to show anything too naughty, as is the show's usual approach.' Helena, who is pals with Piers Morgan's son Spencer and Gary Lineker's son George on the outside, had fans in stitches on Monday night's launch when she described her type as a 'four out of ten that is funny.' Harry, who is a commodities trader, has been described as The Surrey Zidane by fans of his team, Farnham Town. He's scored with Helena after his original coupling, Sophie Lee left the villa as part of a show twist. 4
