Billi, 37, showed off her toned figure in the chocolate brown two-piece and revealed a sunkissed glow.
She captioned the snap: "Another beautiful day in the ☀️with my family."
This Morning star Lisa Snowdon replied: "Stunning honey" as Towie's Georgia Kousoulou penned: "Body goals".
Other fans chipped in about her ex's relationship news.
One sniped: "Well that didn't last long did, how embarrassing on both of them. Anyways you are glowing & winning at life being a wonderful present mother & looking so happy & healthy you go girl."
Another said: "Darling, you are on fire…The way you've handled yourself and risen above everything has been amazing to see. A warrior mother…Keep slaying, it all works out in the end."
Ex Newcastle United star Andy, 36, started dating mum-of-one Lou last year following his split from Billi with whom he has three children.
Lou, 41, and footballer Andy, who also has two kids from a previous relationship, split eight weeks after he was quizzed by cops following two boozy holiday arguments with tee-total Lou.
The father of five has now wiped all trace of former One Direction hair stylist Lou from his social media accounts.
A friend added: 'Andy and Lou have been having massive rows for a while.
Andy Carroll quizzed by cops twice after bust-ups with girlfriend at packed restaurant and hotel during Greek holiday
'It's been a tough time and now he's back in the UK, he just wants to focus on football and his kids.
'He hates the influencer lifestyle. He has no interest in posing for loved-up pics.'
The source continued: 'Andy got sick of Lou's demands and her influencer lifestyle.
'She's always posting on social media and he hates that. He told her it was over this week. He's single now.'
Until this week, friends thought wedding bells were not far off after Lou gushed about their future.
After rows on holiday earlier this year, they celebrated their one-year anniversary at Glastonbury's luxury £38,000 pop-up hotel.
It was thought Andy was ready to make a fresh start after selling the stunning Essex pad he shared with Billi for a whopping fee in November.
The former West Ham ace had put his Essex pile on the market with an £8.5million price tag
Andy, now with French side Bordeaux, bought the six-bed house in Essex from singer Sir Rod Stewart five years ago for £4.1million.

Mark Chapman's joke about Gary Lineker, football team he supports, BBC Match of the Day pay
Mark Chapman will host the first Match of the Day show of the new Premier League season on Saturday as he, Gabby Logan and Kelly Cates take over from departed stalwart Gary Lineker Mark Chapman will host the first Match of the Day show of the new Premier League season. The 51-year-old will share hosting duties with Gabby Logan and Kelly Cates this campaign after Gary Lineker's exit. The BBC flagship will have a new permanent host for the first time since 1999 this term after former England striker Lineker stepped down, ceasing all involvement with the organisation from the end of last season after sparking an antisemitism row with a social media post. Lineker's exit was announced in November last year, and it was confirmed in January that ex-MOTD 2 host Chapman, renowned presenter Logan and former Sky Sports star Cates would rotate to fill his shoes. Chapman will take the reins on Saturday, and Mirror Football takes a look at his life away from the screen, including where his footballing loyalties lie and how much he earns. Mark Chapman's Gary Lineker joke Although Saturday will be Chapman's first show as permanent host, as per PA, with colleague Logan taking on the Sunday rendition, he is no stranger to fronting MOTD. Chapman's role with MOTD 2 often saw him host the midweek editions of the show, and an appearance in January saw him crack a joke amid the announcement of Lineker's exit. The 51-year-old opened the broadcast alongside Micah Richards and Alan Shearer with a witty allusion to his upcoming role, declaring: "Evening, thought I'd get the practice in…" His co-stars couldn't help but chuckle at the admission, with Shearer exclaiming: "You haven't wasted any time, have you? Six months too early!" Chapman retorted: "It's going to be a long night, eh?" What football club does Mark Chapman support? Former host Lineker did not hide his love for boyhood side Leicester City, for whom he began his footballing career. He played over 200 times for the Foxes from 1978 until 1985. Chapman, who is not an ex-pro, having started life with the BBC in 1996 as a community announcer, also has an affinity for a top English side in Manchester United. Born in Rochdale, Chapman told the iPaper in 2018: "It's not my fault that I support a big team! I had to put up with a lot of poor, if at least entertaining, stuff in the 1980s. I am a genuine Manchester United fan." After the Red Devils endured a difficult 15th-placed Premier League finish last season, with some dismal results, Chapman explained on a 2025 appearance on the game show Catchphrase: "By the time we go on air, I've had enough time to stop being a sore loser. So by then I'm fairly impartial." How much does Mark Chapman earn? Lineker was renowned for being one of the BBC's highest-paid staff members during his time with the organisation. It was reported that he took home roughly £1.75million last year before stepping down. Colleague Shearer was also a top earner last year with a reported salary of £440,000, though Chapman earns considerably less than the two former England strikers. Over the course of the 2021/22 season, Chapman earned roughly £250k, and his salary was boosted the following term to around £325k. During the 2023/24 season, Chapman took home somewhere in the region of £260k for his coverage on Radio 5 Live, MOTD 2, the Challenge Cup, the Euros and Olympic Games.

There's nothing worse than male trouser trouble
First, there was the bizarre tale of the poor unfortunate man who, after dropping his trousers on the District line near Upton Park, was set upon by an outraged gang, beaten and then forcibly expelled from the Tube. And then, just a day or so before, the perpetually beleaguered Gregg Wallace caused a similar degree of opprobrium when he put out a video in which he addressed allegations of bad behaviour involving a lack of trousers. What on earth is going on? On Instagram, Wallace announced, with a touch of the Beowulf poet: 'Would you like the truth about the stories regarding me taking my trousers down, listen! There are no findings in the investigation that I took my trousers down in front of anybody.' He ended his video by repeating, sternly: 'Any claim that the report says differently is not true.' So there we have it. Gregg Wallace may be many things, but he is not a trouser-dropper – unlike the anonymous semi-flasher on the Underground, who definitely was, has now been detained for his own good under the Mental Health Act. A warning, perhaps, to those of us who, now that the weather is becoming disconcertingly warm once again, might fancy a little impromptu chino removal on public transport for our comfort. Yet in truth, the idea of taking down one's trousers is an innate source of English fascination that has been a staple of comedy since Chaucer and Shakespeare, and is likely to remain so until the day we are all wafting round in unisex kimonos. The reason why trousers – more than any other form of attire – are imbued with such comic potential is that the average English gentleman associates them with his dignity. Lose them, and his sang-froid tumbles to the floor along with the fabric. It was no wonder that the Aldwych farces and Carry On films all made considerable weather of their stiff, not-so-buttoned-up characters being compelled to cover their reduced dignity in increasingly absurd circumstances as their breeches sally off into the sunset. I would like to say that the loss of trousers is something that only occurs on stage and in film, but alas, I can testify that it is all too real. In my home city of Oxford, I have seen many cruelly abandoned pairs of formal trews in the street, presumably after a heavily misspent night involving fine wine. Nor is this limited to the young. A friend tells how, after a wild evening on Clapham Common with some newfound friends resulted in his being debagged, he cycled past the scene of the crime the next day to see his once-beloved slacks fluttering mournfully in the wind – the mute observer to whatever unspeakable things had happened in that particular spot. As for the shame's memorialisation in memoir, another friend – a leading light in the entertainment industry – has confessed that, should he ever put finger to keyboard and write his autobiography, it could only be called A Life Without Trousers, so torrid have his exploits in this field been. I would dearly love at this point to confess that I know nothing of such things, but unfortunately I recently had my own narrow brush with infamy. A few months ago, I was strolling along Hampstead Heath with my family when, to our horror, a tree fell just behind us, nearly causing grave hurt, or worse. We scrambled to safety just in time, with no worse injury than a few cuts and bruises – but as I realised that we were largely unharmed, I also realised that the sudden impact on the ground had sent my kecks cascading round my knees. To be found dead and trouserless on Hampstead Heath: now that, I fear, is the end that many of my enemies would wish on me. But I intend to give them the dissatisfaction of continuing to live – with the bottom of my trousers rolled – for many a well-furnished year to come, God willing.

Soccer Saturday's iconic stars and where they are now after axe fell on beloved line-up
Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday has been a huge hit with football fans for decades, but the programme has undergone a number of changes in recent seasons with varying degrees of success Soccer Saturday has long been a weekly ritual for British football fans, but the show has undergone significant changes in recent times. The immensely popular Sky Sports programme has given fans countless unforgettable moments over the years, catapulting the likes of Jeff Stelling, Chris Kamara, Phil Thompson, Matt Le Tissier, Charlie Nicholas and Paul Merson to broadcasting fame. Since its inception in 1998, Soccer Saturday has remained a staple part of many football fans' weekend routines. However, ahead of the 2020/21 season, major alterations were made to the line-up, with long-standing analysts Thompson, Nicholas and Le Tissier all being shown the door. Former host Stelling announced his intention to step down at the end of the following campaign but stayed on as presenter until 2023, while Kamara chose to depart one year earlier. Mirror Sport takes a look at the former Soccer Saturday cast and what they've been up to since leaving the show, which has taken a new direction with a fresh set of pundits. Jeff Stelling Having hosted Soccer Saturday for roughly 25 years, Stelling finally hung up his broadcasting boots in 2023. His boundless enthusiasm, extensive knowledge of clubs across the UK, and ability to manage the rolling score updates made him a firm favourite among viewers. "It is now the right time to move on and give Sky Sports viewers a break from my relentless rants, bad gags and over the top celebrations of Hartlepool United goals," he said in 2023. "It's been a lot of fun - for me at least!" He later started presenting for talkSPORT and opened up about his Sky departure to The Guardian: "I had the most fantastic run on the show; I made the greatest mates and was paid well for one of the best jobs in the world. But the show was heading in a direction which meant it wasn't quite the same. "Even though I'd been there a long time, I felt some of my views weren't considered at all. Every week I was fighting a battle. I got tired of fighting and it was making me ill. Eventually, I went to Sky's management and said: 'This is making me unwell. I've got to step away from it.'" The ex-Soccer Saturday presenter, who has been succeeded by Simon Thomas, has toured UK theatres in the past with Q&A shows called 'An Evening With Jeff Stelling'. Here, he chats about his Sky Sports presenting career while sharing countless anecdotes from his time in the business. Phil Thompson Liverpool legend Phil Thompson was among the initial batch of alterations to Soccer Saturday's most recognisable line-up. Thompson, 71, did acknowledge the decision to replace him was handled with care. Following his departure from the programme, he tweeted: "I've had a great 22 years with @SkySports. Enjoyed every minute with some amazing people on the show and behind the scenes which made it the iconic show it is today." Having established a quartet of pundits alongside Nicholas, Le Tissier and Merson, Thompson added: "It was three parts of a midfield. The others could have continued." Since departing Sky Sports, Thompson has remained active as a pundit across different platforms and also operates as an after-dinner speaker. Matt Le Tissier Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier was among the legendary trio to be shown the door in 2020. Stelling has confessed that Le Tissier was "hit hardest" by the announcement as the 56-year-old was considerably younger than his colleagues. Responding to the decision on social media, Le Tissier wrote: "Enjoyed my time at Sky Sports, time to look forward to life's next challenge." Having observed the fresh format since, in an interview with Le Tissier said: "Occasionally, if I'm in I'll watch it. There doesn't seem to be the same humour, the same level of camaraderie there than there used to be. "I think it's difficult because we had a team there that was together for a long time. Jeff Stelling's left now as well – that's a tough job for Simon Thomas, because Jeff was incredible at that job. For me the show was built around Jeff. We were there simply as the extras." Le Tissier sparked controversy with his anti-vaccination stance throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. He has also displayed fascination with conspiracy theories and has taken on the role of associate director at non-league Sholing. Charlie Nicholas Dubbed 'Champagne' throughout his playing career, former Scotland star Charlie Nicholas chose to remain silent when firings first broke out. A Sky Sports statement declared: "We are changing some parts of our football coverage Matt, Charlie and Phil have done a great job for us over the years, and they will leave us with our sincere thanks and very best wishes." Nevertheless, Nicholas launched a scathing attack on his previous employers in 2021. He slammed Sky Sports for failing to stand by his former colleague Andy Walker following his ban from Rangers and Celtic over on-air remarks. The Soccer Saturday threesome temporarily reunited for the 'Where's Jeff' podcast. Nicholas made an appearance in the BBC documentary Pitch Invasion this year, also starring in a Paddy Power advertisement featuring Scottish legends backing Spain before the Euro 2024 final. A roving reporter, Kamara's charisma and love for football, combined with some memorable on-air blunders, made him a vital component of Soccer Saturday. His 'Unbelievable Jeff' catchphrase only enhanced the programme's appeal. 'Kammy' departed Sky Sports following 24 years with the broadcaster at the conclusion of the 2021/22 campaign after receiving a speech apraxia diagnosis: "My time on Soccer AM, Goals on Sunday and, of course, on Soccer Saturday with Jeff has been – to coin a phrase – unbelievable. I've had the time of my life, and look forward to tuning in every Saturday as a fan." The 67-year-old featured on The Masked Singer and published his second autobiography, Kammy: My Incredible Life, in 2023. He opened up about his speech condition in 2023, which had prompted him to withdraw from most of his broadcasting duties. He told Good Morning Britain: "The [words] come out very slow so I thought that defined me. So, my apologies to everybody who's got a speech condition because it doesn't define who you are. I get upset talking about it because I was in denial, I was ashamed that I couldn't speak." Tony Cottee Tony Cottee was another of the names who departed Soccer Saturday at the end of the 2020/21 season, a year following the initial wave of alterations. The former West Ham and Everton forward has frequently featured on talkSPORT and continues working as a pundit. Nevertheless, he acknowledges it wasn't his decision to leave Soccer Saturday as he told the Undr the Cosh podcast: "I had 20 great years there and I look back and I don't like the way it ended. It was their choice more than my choice. I wanted to carry on being part of the show, obviously Soccer Saturday. "But I also look back and think I had 20 wonderful years. Some of the characters - Jeff Stelling's an amazing presenter. Then you think of like the Kammys and the McInallys [Alan McInally], and then the lads who were on the panel. Merse, Le Tiss, Charlie, Thommo. Just wonderful characters." Rodney Marsh An exit from Soccer Saturday that occurred well before the programme's shift in direction was Rodney Marsh. The ex-Manchester City forward was dismissed by Sky Sports in 2005 following a gag that made reference to the catastrophic Indian Ocean tsunami. Since his Sky departure, Marsh has featured on various television programmes, including I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2007. The 80-year-old is currently employed by Sirius XM in a punditry role. Present Soccer Saturday line-up Thomas has presented the programme since Stelling departed in 2023, and the panel of experts, featuring Michael Dawson, Sue Smith, Tim Sherwood, Clinton Morrison and Kris Boyd, will continue unchanged for the upcoming season. Former Premier League ref Mike Dean also offer his analysis on Sky Sports regarding officiating and VAR rulings.
