Pals of the supermodel recently expressed their worries she had reverted back to her drinking, party girl heyday CHEEK OF IT Kate Moss in hysterics at naked man as she takes daughter to nude beach in Formentera KATE Moss couldn't hide her feelings as she caught sight of a naked man on the beach while holidaying in Formentera. The supermodel, 51, enjoyed a bit of sea, sand and sunshine with her daughter Lila Grace, 22, and her boyfriend Yoni Helbitz, 23. Advertisement 7 Kate Moss was left grimacing at the sight of a naked man while on holiday Credit: BackGrid 7 The model did not look best pleased after catching sight of the nude holiday-maker Credit: BackGrid 7 But the fashion icon took it in good humour and was seen laughing later on Credit: BackGrid 7 Kate stripped to a leopard print bikini top and matching bottoms for the outing Credit: BackGrid Kate slipped into a leopard print bikini for the beach outing teamed with oversized sunglasses worn on her head. The British star and her family were seen mingling with beauty entrepreneur Charlotte Tilbury's niece Bella Tilbury. But Kate was left very distracted when a bare-all beachgoer strolled across the beach. The uninvited guest left nothing to the imagination, giving the fashion icon a front-row seat to an unexpected full-frontal surprise. Advertisement The model pulled a grimacing expression, but was then seen laughing it off while relaxing on a sun lounger. Kate put her trim physique on display in the co-ord swimwear as she walked across the beach. She then enjoyed a dip in the sea before she dried off and wrapped herself in a beach towel. Kate showed off her natural beauty with minimal makeup and her blonde hair tied into a messy bun. Advertisement Earlier this week, Kate looked sensational as she stripped to a bikini and accessorised with a £35,000 designer bag on the beach. The supermodel opted for neutral-coloured swimwear but covered up with a white blouse as she hit the beach in Spain. Inside Kate Moss' wild new lifestyle as pals fear boozy supermodel, 51, is going back to her old 90s partying ways Later in the day, they were spotted taking a trip on a private boat. Just last week, during a recent trip to Ibiza, Kate was seen covering her boobs as she swam topless. Advertisement Kate has been modelling since she was 14, and she is proving she's still at the top of her game. Recently, away from her vacations, she posed in just stockings and a bra for a steamy Saint Laurent ad. PARTY GIRL They told how she appears to be back on the party circuit and said at July's BST gig: "Kate was having it large at Hyde Park and was knocking back cans of Peroni. Recently, pals of the supermodel expressed their worries she had reverted back to her drinking, party girl heyday. Advertisement 'She was hanging out in Van Morrison's private backstage area, before watching him from the side of the stage — before she went back to the bar for another drink. 'When she watched Neil Young, she flitted between the audience and the suites to keep the beers flowing. 'Kate sank a fair few drinks with her friends and quietly slipped away before Neil finished his set. 'The whole time she was laughing and giggling. Advertisement 'Kate was quite literally the life and soul of the party. And there wasn't a crystal in sight.' Back in 2020, one of her closest pals, DJ Fat Tony, said she had been sober for two years. And as she launched her former wellness brand Cosmoss, Kate unveiled a rebranded version of herself to fans. It was Kate's return to her party lifestyle, pals claim, that influenced the break-up with her teetotal boyfriend of nine years, British photographer Nikolai Von Bismarck. Advertisement In December, friends told us that the pair were going on 'different journeys'. One pal revealed: 'Kate feels fabulous and she wants to get back out there and have some fun.' 7 Kate was spotted with Charlotte Tilbury's niece Bella Credit: BackGrid 7 Kate looked in good spirits as she enjoyed a dip in the sea Credit: BackGrid Advertisement

Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt look tense as they leave BBC Breakfast after awkwardly ignoring The Sun front page
BBC Breakfast anchors Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt looked frosty as they exited the show studios following their Saturday live episode. The pair appeared stern with serious expressions as they made their way directly to their cars outside the BBC base in Salford Quays. Advertisement 7 Naga Munchetty was seen leaving BBC Breakfast studios after Saturday's live show Credit: Splash 7 Her co-star Charlie Stayt is now 'under review' Credit: Splash 7 Naga and Charlie swerved The Sun's splash during the media review Credit: The Sun 7 It came after we revealed the feuds ripping BBC Breakfast apart Credit: The Sun Their exit came after they completely snubbed The Sun's front page during Saturday's four hour BBC Breakfast. During the paper review, which aired at 620am, they kicked off with a report in the I about US Vice President JD Vance's warning to the UK. They then touched on issues of children being safe in schools and checks on British travellers visiting Europe. Yet despite covering off a host of news stories from other publications they failed to mention our BBC Breakfast exclusive, teased on the splash. Advertisement It features an image of Naga, 50, and the words "Naga row grows." After their short media review, the presenting pair then swiftly moved on to a segment about BBC Four series, The Archers. It came after we put the spotlight on the BBC Breakfast feuds ripping the daily show apart - including Naga's meltdown on how her Marmite was spread. Yet this week we also exclusively reported how Charlie, 63, is joining Naga "under review" after a string of complaints. Advertisement The process will decide if the pair will face a formal investigation. NAGA MELTDOWN Previously, it was reported how under-fire BBC presenter Naga has a reputation for going "ballistic" at junior staff. Naga Munchetty interrupts BBC Breakfast to issue apology after guest is abruptly cut off in live blunder They also revealed that she humiliated an intern who didn't make her porridge perfectly. An insider told the Mail: "She has a reputation for going at young members of staff and making them out to be fools. Advertisement "She would kick off about the smallest of issues, including one time she went ballistic over her breakfast not being prepared exactly how she likes it by an intern." Naga then refused to eat porridge delivered to her by an intern during an ad break as it was too hot for her to eat in the time she had. Who are the current presenters of BBC Breakfast? The flagship BBC show has had dozens of presenters during its impressive 40 years on air but the current stars are: Jon Kay - Since 2022 Sally Nugent - Since 2021 Charlie Stayt - Since 2006 Naga Munchetty - Since 2014 Carol Kirkwood - Since 1997 "The guy walked off the set utterly humiliated and went back to chuck it away before trying again in time for the next ad break, it was pretty brutal to watch," the insider added. A BBC spokesperson said: 'While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously and will not tolerate behaviour that is not in line with our values. Advertisement 'We have robust processes in place and would encourage any staff with concerns to raise them directly with us so they can be addressed.' 7 Charlie was seen carrying a coffee as he headed to his vehicle Credit: Splash 7 Naga covered up in a pair of sunglasses Credit: Splash 7 The pair were also stern on screen Credit: The Sun
