People left stunned by plus-sized model's gym outfit - as she insists her large curves are 'all natural'
A plus-size influencer left her fellow gymgoers stunned as she showed off her natural curves while working out in the gym. Gracie Bon, from Panama, has racked up over 10 million followers on Instagram thanks to her voluminous curves and bombshell good looks, and often films herself going to the gym, travelling the world and sunbathing at the beach. She's also shared the challenges she faces as a plus-sized woman, including getting a lot of looks in the street and struggling to put on a seatbelt on planes. This time, the brunette beauty, 27, took to her Instagram account @graciebon to showcase the looks she often gets while working up a sweat at the gym, using the soundtrack of the 'nothing beats a Jet2 holiday' trend. The clip, which racked up over 950,000 likes, shows Gracie doing a glute and leg workout using extremely heavy weights. The model, who previously revealed she is 'embracing her natural curves', donned grey gym leggings and a black cropped top for her workout. As Gracie stepped onto the machine, a woman in the background could be seen watching her with visible surprise. Though it was unclear whether the gym-goer was struck by Gracie's impressive ability on the machines or her striking plus-size figure - but either way the model appeared unbothered by the interaction. Gracie simply captioned the clip: 'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday.' In the comments, people seemed to echo the woman's reaction, writing: 'I support the chick I did the same with the look.' Referencing Gracie's impressive figure, another added: 'That can't be real.' Another said: 'And she was nice my expression would've been 10x worse.' However one person said: 'She's looking like that cause you're using the machine wrong!!' Another added: 'She's looking at you using the machine wrong!' Previously, the influencer, who revealed she needs two seats on rides at Disneyland, branded visiting the theme park as a 'nightmare' as she claimed other visitors couldn't stop staring at her. Gracie said that the entire trip, which was supposed to be a fun day out with her family, consisted of people double-taking and filming her curvy body. In the comments, people seemed to echo the woman's reaction and were stunned by Gracie's gym outfit In the video, Gracie said: 'Is it just me or are people not used to seeing big girls like me at Disneyland? 'Today I came to Disney with my family ready to have fun. But the second I arrived, the nightmare started. 'Some parents started recording me, so I decided to change the game. If they were going to record me, I was going to record them.' Gracie gave her glasses, which had a camera lens in the frame, to her brother. 'I let him capture everything. And let me tell you, I couldn't believe my eyes. 'People were shocked to see my body, like "Hello this is America." 'Almost 40 percent of people here are plus size, so why were they acting like I was some rare creature? 'What do people expect me to do? Shrink myself so I can go to an amusement park? 'I can't just wake up one day and be skinny, it's 2025 and people need to realize that not everybody looks the same and that's okay.' She went on: 'Anyways, I wasn't going to let that ruin my day. 'I had so much fun, I needed two seats on the Slinky Dog [ride] but that just means double the fun!' She ended her video by asking: 'What would you do if you were me?' In the video, Gracie could be seen walking around the park and taking pictures with characters as visitors film her body with shocked faces. Despite her seemingly honest video, commenters sided with the onlookers arguing that she knew why people were looking at her. 'You're not naturally "big," that's the issue,' someone wrote. 'No one wants to see that at a theme park with children,' a user claimed. 'Girl, you know why,' a comment read. 'You thrive off of the attention,' a person argued. Another said: 'It's not because you're plus size. It's because your body has been modified and looks too ridiculous for most people.' 'They are looking cause it's not natural,' a commenter claimed. 'She's not serious,' a user wrote. Another argued: 'Girl please, you love the attention.' Gracie has previously hit back at negative comments claiming that her body is 'what God gave me' and that she hasn't undergone any enhancement surgeries. Although Gracie receives positive comments about her body on her posts, she also gets many trolls who say she has manufactured her voluptuous shape. The content creator took to the platform and wrote: 'You can clearly see in the first picture how my "natural" body looked and guess what, in that time they looked at me strangely and [I] got body shamed too because I look differently and I dress differently. 'So because I'm a plus size girl I cannot wear whatever I want and go outside? 'Sorry I'm not ashamed anymore of my curves and [I'm[ not hating my body because you hate it. 'Some of you normalise hating on girls for nothing, for just being themselves.' Gracie then ended the post by writing 'mind you, the thighs match,' as a dig at those claiming she has had a BBL, as sometimes the thighs may be disproportionate to the buttocks after the surgery takes place. Along with the post, she shared three older photos of herself next to three more recent pictures to showcase her curves.

Brits are swapping overcrowded Spain and Greece for surprising long-haul destinations
Could Britain's love affair with the Med finally be cooling off? According to new research, a raft of non European destinations have won our affections this summer. Classic sun resorts across Italy, France, Spain and Portugal are becoming less popular, with tourists seeking their holiday kicks further afield, including in Thailand, Canada and the US. Virgin Media 02 data suggests that visitors to Spain have plummeted by around 9% year-on-year - with protests against over-tourism amongst the factors that may be seeing UK holidaymakers jetting off in a different direction. Another enduring favourite, France, has been eclipsed by the US this summer, which has commanded 17% of visitors compared to a hop across the Channel, where only 14% have travelled. Greece and Portugal? They're also down by 7% and 5% respectively, the new data suggests, with many dedicating their summer breaks to more far-flung places. Many are making for Maple Leaf territory, with Canada now accounting for 9% of trips from the UK. Elsewhere, the United Arab Emirates has enjoyed 8% of the British tourist pie, with Thailand and Australia both at 5%. When it comes to last minute getaways though, it seems convenience is everything with resorts that are just a short hop away by plane still seeing the biggest numbers of Brits. Almost 38% of us will take late breaks to Spain while Greece will see 25% and Italy 23%. Christian Hindennach, Chief Commercial Officer at Virgin Media O2 said of the latest research: 'As Brits explore new holiday spots beyond Europe, we're proud to keep them connected wherever they may roam.' After months of over-tourism protests across Spain, there was more bad news for Brits heading to our favourite holiday destination this week - after seven miles of Costa Blanca coastline was closed. Tourists have been banned from going into the water because of rare sea creatures with a potentially-fatal sting. Reg flags went up on beaches in the municipality of Guardamar del Segura just north of Torrevieja following the appearance of so-called blue dragons, which have been branded 'the most beautiful killer in the ocean.' The sea slug, also known as Glaucus atlanticus, feeds on the venomous cells of creatures like the deadly Portuguese man o'war, storing them within its body in concentrated doses. This process concentrates the toxin, making the blue dragon's sting far more potent than that of its prey. Typical symptoms of the blue dragon's sting include nausea, pain, vomiting and, in some cases, severe allergic reactions which can be fatal. Guardamar del Segura's mayor Jose Luis Saez, confirming the sea ban order yesterday which he indicated would remain in place until further notice, said on his official X account: 'Red flag on the beaches of Guardamar. 'Bathing is prohibited following the appearance on Vivers Beach of two specimens of Glaucus atlanticus, known as the Blue Dragon.' He added: 'We remind people that despite its bright and striking colour and it's small 1.5 inch size, they should stay away from this animal because of its sting. 'Guardamar del Segura Town Hall has has launched a preventive operation to detect possible specimens carried by ocean currents. 'Town hall workers are closely following the evolution of the situation and will inform people about the different measures to be taken. 'If you see one of these creatures don't touch it, even with gloves on, alert lifeguards and other authorities. 'If you get stung, wash the area affected with salt water and head to your nearest first aid point or health centre. 'These creatures are poisonous and their stings can cause nausea, pain and vomiting. 'For the time being and until further notice, bathing in the sea is prohibited.' Vivers Beach, a natural stretch of coast south of the Segura River and north of La Babilonia Beach, was said to be full of people yesterday although less people than normal were in the sea defying the bathing ban order and risking heavy fines. Lifeguards with loudhailers were expected to remind tourists and locals today about the prohibition according to local reports, although sunseekers will still be allowed to head to beaches even if they don't take a dip in the sea. Red flags went up at Santa Barbara beach in La Linea de la Concepcion near Gibraltar on Sunday after police received an emergency call about a blue dragon sighting and six were later found on the shoreline. It was reopened to bathers the following day, with a yellow warning flag up instead of the red one.

McDonald's restaurant has 'best view' that people would wait in line all day for
Fast food fans have been left gobsmacked by the incredible views at one McDonald's chain – and it's so cool people online are even comparing it to Jurassic Park People cannot get over this incredible McDonald's chain with the "best view" - and many say they would queue for hours just to see it. When we travel abroad, many of us like to try out the local cuisine and avoid food spots that we can easily get at home. However, some of our favourite brands offer different menus we wouldn't be able to try at home - and fast food chains look different around the world. While we all know what McDonald's restaurants looks like, the menus vary by location to reflect local tastes and traditions - and there are a few which look nothing like the other eateries. The biggest McDonald's restaurant is in Orlando, Florida, and some fans believe the "poshest" chain is in Long Island. In New Zealand, there is a Maccies where food is served from an abandoned aeroplane, plus there is a floating McDonald's service in Germany. And let's not forget the McDonalds "in a medieval castle" in Indiana, US. Recently people have been wowed by a picturesque chain in Oahu, Hawaii. Surrounded by palm trees and grassland, and a view of the Koolau mountain range, this chain has been described as "McDonald's in heaven" with a video shared on TikTok. The same individual, named Jared, said: "I flew to Hawaii to see the world's most beautiful McDonalds." He was adamant about visiting the impressive space after seeing videos online. Another video shared on Instagram shows people queuing for the drive thru while admiring the breathtaking mountain views. Wowed viewers rushed to comment, as one individual said: "The view is pretty, the scenery is awesome." Someone wrote: "No joke, I will wait in that line all damn day! Get my food and go back around again." One other said: "I'm not even complaining when my order is late." "I would say 'welcome to Jurassic Park' every time we roll up," joked another. "Waiting for a T-Rex to come through those mountains," joked one other. Another described it as a "junk spot in heaven". One other obsessed over the "beautiful view". "Oh my God it's beautiful," added one other. "I lived in Maui for many years and I miss is so much," commented one other.
