Macron makes a splash on holiday in south of France
Emmanuel Macron has been pictured making a splash during his surfing holiday in the south of France. The images, which have been shared widely by the media in France, mark a stark departure from the usual sobriety of the French president's usual crisp attire and serious demeanour. Instead of his signature dark blue suit, Mr Macron was captured in a wetsuit, riding a hydrofoil board and grinning widely during sunset. 'But what a handsome grandpa,' read the cover of Voici, a weekly celebrity and gossip magazine that posted the photos of Mr Macron on its cover on Thursday. Brigitte Macron, the French first lady, was also captured riding a jetski with one of her grandchildren while following her husband on the hydrofoil. The pictures were taken earlier this month at Fort de Bregancon, the French president's summer residence, a medieval fortress and the official retreat where French leaders have been holidaying since 1968. The fort is located about 100 feet above sea level on a rocky islet near the Mediterranean in the South of France in Bormes-les-Mimosas. TMZ, the celebrity tabloid news site, also commented on the president's athletic physique under the headline 'Flexing political muscles'. It said: 'French Prez Emmanuel Macron looks like he's been hitting the gym ... because he just showed us what he's been packing under his suits – and he's got a six-pack of abs.' It is not the first time Mr Macron has been praised for his athleticism. In 2024, official photos showed the French president with bulging biceps as he boxed a punching bag. Between hydrofoil sessions on the open water and excursions into town for a stage show with French comedian Dany Boon, Mr Macron has also been spending his summer holidays conducting state and international business. On Sunday, the president engaged in high-level talks with Sir Keir Starmer and Friedrich Merz, the German chancellor, in a video conference to discuss the next stage of peace talks in Ukraine. The trio will be part of a delegation of European leaders who will join Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian leader, in Washington on Monday to meet with Donald Trump. An unnamed source close to the president told Le Figaro: 'It's non-stop. He's making calls from Bregancon and spending his days exchanging messages with his counterparts.' Residents said the French president kept a lower profile than usual in the area. The owner of a bar-restaurant told Le Parisien: 'Sarkozy used to come and get his freshly squeezed orange juice, Chirac and Hollande used to come and see us, but we don't see Macron anymore. 'I think he is no longer very popular.'

Binky Felstead displays her washboard abs in a skimpy bikini as she enjoys a lavish trip with partner Max Darnton
Binky Felstead flaunted her washboard abs in a bikini as she enjoyed a lavish trip to France with partner Max Darnton. The former Made in Chelsea star, 35, took to Instagram on Saturday to share a glimpse of her sizzling holiday style. She looked incredible in the blue two-piece as she danced under the sun while travelling around the the country in a yacht. Binky and Max, who have been married since 2021, looked happier than ever as they were joined by friends for their luxurious trip. In one snap, the former TV personality could be seen dancing in a little black dress while waving the England flag. Alongside her album of snaps, Binky penned: 'A day of salt water therapy & a lot of fun with a glorious crew' The trip comes after Binky opened up about a post-birth health issue which left her 'freaking out' and convinced she would lose her teeth. She was diagnosed with gum disease recently, which was beginning to destroy her bones and needed urgent attention. Binky is a proud mother-of-three and last gave birth in 2023 to a son named Wilder, who is now one. Following her diagnosis, Binky decided to share her story online with her Instagram followers, to spread awareness with other mums. Speaking to The Sun, she said: 'I was really worried about it and I actually only learnt through social media. By the way, hundreds of messages I got from other parents, other women, saying they've got the same. 'I think the old wives tale is that you lose a tooth per child. I don't know, I'm freaking out, I'm not going to have a tooth in ten years.' She added that there's 'lots of not so glamorous things' that happen after giving birth and having children. Binky said she has started having to do her greys, admitting that 'the good outweighs the bad'. She said it's 'important' to have these conversations on social media to normalise it, and that the fact it is common made her feel a lot better about it. Eight years after leaving MIC, Binky says she is 'kind of getting her MOJO back'. Binky is super relatable online with her fans, and always keeps it real. In recent weeks, she made a 'revolting' confession that she hasn't washed her make-up brush in 10 years during a mother-daughter makeover clip. India can be seen unleashing her creative spark as she layered on the bronzer and lined her mother's lips with a pencil. In the clip Binky confessed: 'Do you know your godfather, Ollie Locke? This was his makeup brush from about ten years ago and I have never washed it since. How revolting is that and I still use it?' India appeared unphased by the revelation and continued to layer on the bronzer until the TV personality persuaded her to stop. Motherhood is a vital part of Binky's life now and along with husband Max she appears to have the perfect fairytale family. She started dating her husband Max Fin January 2019 after they met at Soho Farmhouse and the couple later married in September 2021.

The former Saturdays singer, 36, looked amazing in the triangle top which she teamed with a matching wrap skirt. Rochelle, who has recently been dragged into Myleene Klass and Frankie Bridge feud, shielded from the sun under a £480 Miu Miu hat and a pair of sunglasses. Leaving her dark tresses loose, the This Morning presenter beamed as she posed on a balcony. The star later slipped into a pink strapless bikini which she paired with a colourful shirt and matching trousers. She is currently on holiday with husband Marvin Humes, 40, and their three children - Alaia Mai, Valentina and Blake. It comes as it was revealed that Rochelle gave Mylenne's 'cheating' ex-husband a place to stay following their bitter breakup, it has been claimed. Radio presenter Myleene, 47, hit the headlines after accusing her former husband Graham Quinn of cheating on her with another celebrity, who she has refused to name, shortly before their 2011 wedding. Now it's been claimed Saturdays singer Rochelle lent a helping hand to Graham following the breakdown of his marriage to Mylenne. The Sun reports the former Hear'Say singer believed Rochelle and her husband Marvin had 'taken his side' in the split as a result. A source told the publication: 'Rochelle was doing what she saw as looking out for a friend in a time of need. 'Rochelle and Marvin are still clearly very much friends with Graham. 'Myleene is of the view that Rochelle took sides from the beginning of her marriage breakdown.' The insider added that Rochelle and Mylenne 'do everything in their power' to avoid each other amid their rift. Radio presenter Myleene, 47, hit the headlines after accusing her former husband Graham Quinn of cheating on her with another celebrity, who she has refused to name, shortly before their 2011 wedding Daily Mail has contacted reps for Rochelle and Mylenne for comment. Rochelle's spokesperson declined to respond. Graham was a tour manager for JLS and was recently snapped in Ibiza with Rochelle and Marvin. Myleene first started going out with her Irish bodyguard in 2001 and they were together for 12 years until they announced their split in 2013. She said she walked in on the moment ex Graham and the woman were taking each other's clothes off on the balcony of her home. Refusing to name the woman, Myleene hinted that the person in question has built a career off a 'family brand' and clarified that it was before they had got married. As mystery continues to swirl around the celebrity in question, Myleene declared she doesn't regret her honesty in the interview. Graham's inner circle hit back at the shock claims and told Daily Mail's Grant Tucker that the former Hear'Say bodyguard, who shares daughters Ava, 17, and Hero, 13, with Myleene was 'not going to dignify these fantasies with a response'. They also believe it was 'vindictive and calculated' of the singer to launch the bombshell on what she would have known was the week of Graham's 51st birthday. Despite the drama, Myleene flashed her gorgeous smile as she made her way through Leicester Square, London on Sunday. The TV personality put on a leggy display in a beige dress which she tied a black scarf around her waist and a Moschino belt. Meanwhile, Mylenne is also said to have fallen out with Frankie Bridge. Mylenne, Rochelle and Frankie all used to hang out together, with Loose Women hosts Myleene and Frankie attending Rochelle's hen do in 2012. Yet the following year, Myleene is said to have believed she was being 'blanked' by Frankie and confronted her at the 2013 Glamour Women of the Year awards - which is when the pair requested not to work together. However, due to a staff shortage around Christmas last year, Myleene and Frankie ended up on the same Loose Women panel - resulting in an 'awkward' episode with 'minimal interaction'. This week Myleene hinted at more revelations as she issued cryptic warning to those that 'have reason to' be afraid, after she made her explosive claims about her ex. After opening up about the scandal in an interview for Paul Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast, Myleene took to Instagram Stories to state she has 'receipts,' and 'won't keep her mouth shut.' The post also included a snap of her MBE, after receiving the honour for her services to women's health, miscarriage awareness and charity last month. While Myleene used the post to reflect on her recent achievements, she also declared she's 'finally found her voice' after opening up about her cheating ordeal. Due to a staff shortage around Christmas last year, Myleene and Frankie ended up on the same Loose Women panel - resulting in an 'awkward' episode with 'minimal interaction' She wrote: 'Wow. What a week it's been! Firstly, thank you. I have quite literally tens of thousands of messages of love and support for me and my family. I took a long time to learn there's strength in vulnerability. 'In a varied week where my interview with @paulcbrunson and @needtotalk went viral and reached the people who needed to hear it, where I was part of the incredible @stjohn_ambulance team who helped to save a persons life and where my children and I somehow managed to rescue our passports from the bottom of the Adriatic, it's been a mixed bag! 'All this to say, at 47, I've finally found my voice and it's clear, unapologetic and brutally honest. 'To those that fear its truth, you probably have reason to, I have receipts, to those that need to hear it, I've got you and I fully intend to continue using it to change the laws and legislation that neglect women and children in this country and around the world.' Myleene then ended her post with a Bible quote, that said: 'And the truth will set you free' John 8.32,' before adding her own words: 'And then some.'
