Bikini-clad Vogue Williams shares sweet holiday pictures from family getaway with husband Spencer Matthews and their three children

Vogue Williams looked every inch the doting mother as she shared sweet family holiday pictures to Instagram on Sunday.
The Irish presenter, 39 shares her children, Theodore, six, Gigi, four, and Otto, three with former Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews.
And she has now taken her family abroad to enjoy a sun-soaked beach holiday, with an insight into the the trip documented on her social media page.
In one snap Vogue can be seen wearing a black and white two-piece as she cradled Otto, before also picking up her daughter Gigi.
Meanwhile Spencer got in on the action and could be seen kissing his little girl on the cheek as the family enjoyed some downtime.
Alongside her holiday post, she penned: 'I've counted down the days until we got here'.
Vogue recently revealed Spencer bore the brunt of youngest child Otto's 'hitting and biting' phase during a recent trip to Legoland.
She explained a subsequent trip to Legoland at Windsor Resort in Berkshire almost went awry when the infant bit his father in the groin.
Recalling the painful incident during the latest instalment of Vogue & Amber - the podcast she co-hosts with her sister - she said: 'It was so random, we just went there for the day.
'It took us thirty-eight minutes to get there from our house and I thought this is a bit of me. And I kind of went off with Otto a little bit because he wasn't able to go on all of the rides that the other kids were on.
'But then he bit, you know that I've been saying he's been hitting and stuff, he bit Spenny in the crotch.'
She added: 'I was just like, "Oh God, that is bad." 'We still managed to have a fantastic day, despite the biting'.
Both are known for their dedication to health and fitness, especially Spencer, who turned his life around after struggling with alcohol abuse during his time on Made in Chelsea.
The star also battled an addiction to steroids, the use resulted in his removal from ITV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2015.
Spencer is now the founder and Chief Business Officer of CleanCo Non-alcoholic Spirits, which he founded soon after eldest son Theo's birth.
His eldest brother is married to Pippa Middleton, and his parents are the Laird and Lady of Glen Affric, a 10,000-acre estate in the Highlands of Scotland.
Appearing on the latest installment of the Mail's 'The Life of Bryony' podcast, Williams recently admitted she 'thought her life was over' after divorcing Westlife singer Brian McFadden.
In a candid conversation with Mail columnist Bryony Gordon, 'relationship girl' Vogue reflected on her love life ahead of turning forty.
She remembered feeling as though she had 'ruined her life' in 2017 after her divorce aged 31 from Westlife singer Brian McFadden.
'I am excited at turning forty', Vogue told the podcast. 'When you are 19 or 20, you think that 40-year-olds are really old and battered. Then you actually get there and you think, this is a really nice moment.
'In your thirties, you are still trying to figure stuff out. I remember being divorced at 31 and thinking, I've ruined my life. I am never going to have kids, I am never going to do what I always wanted to do.

Singer-songwriter takes to the stage at TRNSMT festival - but can you guess who her major Hollywood star brother is?

An Irish singer wowed crowds in Glasgow on Sunday with her performance on the BBC Introducing stage at TRNSMT festival, but can you guess which Hollywood icon she's related to? Nell Mescal, 22, is the sister of Gladiator and Normal People star Paul Mescal, 29, and she proved that he is not the only talented member of the family at the event. She performed a set including her unreleased track Carried Away and to her delight the audience sang back the lyrics after she teased the track on TikTok. Nell later wrote on social media: 'I'm [actually] still beaming from ear to ear thank u [Transmit]. I will think about u for a long long time.' The Irish artist said her musical influences include the likes of Phoebe Bridgers, Frank Ocean, and Bon Iver. She has been a rising star since moving to London in 2021, where her brother Paul also lives, to seriously pursue singing and songwriting. Nell said: 'If I can write a song that makes someone feel something in any capacity or give them some kind of release, that was always my number one thing. 'I didn't want to write a song that someone just listened to and said "oh this is nice", I want them to actually feel something and sit there and think about it.' Also performing at the Glasgow festival was headliner Jade Thirlwall, who has found newfound success as a solo artist after rising to fame in Little Mix. She is now the first solo artist who was once a member of a girlband to receive a Brit Award - having won the Best Pop Act at the 2025 event. The star expressed her love of Scotland when she stepped onto the a stage in a racy tartan dress. She also admitted that she is a fan of both haggis and Irn Bru in a backstage social media post. Jade notably suffered a wardrobe malfunction when she performed on the main stage at Glasgow Green and had to stop her performance. Amused by the fail, she said: 'Oh my god it is hot. I know we've just got going, but if you don't mind I'm going to take myself stage right as my t**s are literally out. 'There's a great bit of areola on show right now.' Jade performed a set that consisted of her own songs as well as Little Mix classics like Shout Out To My Ex. She also covered Madonna's Frozen. Jade said: 'I'm so excited to be here in Glasgow. 'I haven't performed here for a few years. 'The last time I was here with Little Mix and it feels sometimes weird but very exciting and liberating to be here as a solo artist.' 'I'll give you everything I have.' The festival was a hit with Scottish audiences, who enjoyed some of music's biggest acts as the city basked in a heatwave of up to 30 degrees.

‘I broke down in the studio from all the raw emotion': Richard Hawley on making The Ocean

My wife, Helen, had driven our two young kids down to Porthcurno beach in Cornwall. It's where Rowena Cade had carved the Minack theatre into the granite cliffs. I'd been playing a gig so arrived two days later, and for a boy from a smoggy industrial city, the blue sea and palm trees felt revelatory. Roger, the landlord of the old smuggler's pub, told me everyone had gone to the beach, so I took my boots off, rolled my suit trousers up and walked towards them. I saw the silhouettes of my wife and children playing at the ocean's edge. By the time I reached them a song had popped into my head. Helen knows the glazed look in my eyes when this happens. She said: 'You're writing a song, aren't you?' I said: 'I'm sorry, dear. I am.' I bombed it back to the cottage we were staying in, got my guitar, banged out the tune and then went back to the beach and enjoyed the rest of the holiday. When we got home I jammed the idea with the band. There are only four chords in the song and one of them is a sort of special gift from my uncle Eric. He's in his 80s now, but his fingers are so swollen from working the hammer in the steelworks that he's always had to play rhythm guitar with his fingers down a semitone. That produces an A major seven, which is the first chord in The Ocean. I can laugh about this now, but at the time I was 31, which felt old for a musician. I had come through playing with Treebound Story, Pulp and Longpigs. I'd quit heavy drugs, got married, launched a solo career and been dropped by my label. I had been on tour constantly, making very little money, been brutalised by the industry to an extent and away from my family for a lot of time. All these thoughts fed into The Ocean. The emotionally edgy vocals were done in one take. People have to make their own minds up whether it's 'Still dressed in your morning suit' or 'mourning suit' because it's almost two extremes, life and death. I actually broke down during the recording, in the middle eight after I sing 'I assume, I assume'. I only just managed to hold it together. It felt like the last throw of the dice and I was trying to harness my raw emotions. I wanted to make music that would last. When Richard was in Longpigs the record company needed a single so they gave each member of the band £1,000 to record a song in a place of their choice. Richard came into Sheffield's Yellow Arch studios with me. He was a bit of a recovering mess, really, and by his own admission the song was shit. He didn't have anything else for Longpigs but said he had these 'piddling little tunes I do for myself', so I suggested using the studio time to record those. After I kept him there for a week of heavy drinking and psychotherapy we had a mini-album. He asked me and Shez Sheridan [guitar] to be part of his first solo band and we've been there ever since. The early records got good reviews but when we came to make Coles Corner it did feel a bit 'last chance saloon'. We made the album without a record deal and Richard wanted to push the boundaries. I played double bass as opposed to the usual electric. Opening the album with a string section felt brave and we also used it to great effect on The Ocean. I wanted him to sing the bit after the middle eight up an octave. He thought it would be embarrassing and didn't want to but I said: 'No, it's emotional. Go up!' It's a song that he particularly connects with, especially that section. When we play it live, people's hands go up in the air and the lighters come out. It's hard to know why it's become his most streamed song, but the opening line – 'You lead me down to the ocean' – is very evocative. Most people go to the seaside for their holidays, dip their feet in the sea, look out over the waves and it can feel as if all your troubles are behind you. There's something intangible about the ocean that people seem to connect to. A 20th anniversary Zoetrope vinyl format, a half speed master vinyl LP and an expanded two CD version of Coles Corner is released on 1 August. Richard Hawley plays Gaiety theatre, Isle of Man, on 30 August. Then tours until 10 October

Brit left stunned after ordering a pint of Guinness abroad

A British YouTuber has slammed the quality of Guinness in the UK as 'depressing' compared to its 'creamy' Irish counterpart during a recent trip to Dublin. Danny, the face behind the Honest Places YouTube channel, has been busy touring Ireland's boozy hotspots, knocking back pints and rating pubs along the way. In a video posted to his channel in March, the content creator was left reeling at what he calls the 'ridiculous' difference in Guinness quality between the UK and its homeland. Documenting each sip he savoured of the black stuff during his pub crawl experience, Danny remarked: 'You can never get the taste like you get over here. It's more creamy.' After further reflection, he added: 'The only annoying thing about Ireland is, which is sad and depressing, is when you get home and you want a Guinness, it is just nothing comparable. 'I feel like I need to stop drinking Guinness when I get home because it is like a completely different pint.' He noted that it felt similar to switching from a Stella Artois to a Peroni - a huge downgrade in his opinion. The content creator added: 'It is ridiculous. That is literally just Guinness to Guinness in the UK to Ireland. And that is annoying... so when you get back you can never get that. But it is what it is - it's only 30 quid a flight if you want to come back.' During his trip, Danny visited some of the capital's most celebrated pubs, including the legendary John Kavanagh The Gravediggers, which he hailed as serving the 'best pint of Guinness in the world.' But not all of Dublin's famed pubs lived up to expectations, with Danny admitting he was left unimpressed by the price of a pint at the iconic Temple Bar. Observing the total cost of two pints, at €20.90, while ordering, he said: 'It is a really good pub, I can't knock the pub, just the prices. That's ridiculous. That's what, £8.80 a pint?' He also commented on the hustle and bustle inside the tourist hotspot, adding: 'First time I've had a bit of a dirty glass because you know they are rushing it out here.' Despite the complaint over costs, Danny concluded his pub crawl on a more positive note after visiting The Guinness Storehouse, the brand's famous visitor centre and brewery experience. He crowned their pint the best of the trip, a 'ten out of ten,' but flagged one major drawback. Danny said: 'If you want to come here, because you should come here if you like Guinness, but the best Guinness you can get is at the Storehouse. But you have to pay €40, you can't just go there for a pint unfortunately.' The content creator also enjoyed standout pints at The Confession Box and Mulligan's, showcasing both the highs and the lows of Guinness tourism in Dublin. Meanwhile, Guinness fans in the UK can finally toast to the opening of a new attraction in London later this year. A brand-new Guinness microbrewery is set to open its doors in Covent Garden before Christmas. The £73 million venue spans 50,000sq ft across five buildings, and will feature various food and drink outlets, a glass rooftop with panoramic views, events spaces and a merchandise shop. The brewery will serve up 14 different limited-edition brews, including no and low alcohol options, offering a unique tasting experience for fans of the black stuff.
