She underwent a hysterectomy last year after struggling with the menopause.
And Jenny Powell confidently displayed her scars in the wake of her procedure as she shared highlights of her family trip to Spain in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
The radio presenter, 57, enjoyed a lavish getaway with her fiancé Martin Lowe, and her two daughters Constance Baxendale, 24, and Pollyanna Baxendale, 16, whom she shares with ex-husband Toby Baxendale.
In one sizzling snap, Jenny posed in a plunging blue halterneck bikini, which showed a glimpse of her surgery scars.
Striking up a pose for the camera, the TV presenter further accessorised her look with a straw beach hat.
Meanwhile, in another gorgeous snap, Jenny stunned in a semi-sheer sparkly top and a black mini skirt, which featured a tiered hem, as she candidly posed on her villa balcony.
Jenny also shared with her 248,000 followers several sweet snaps of her lookalike daughters.
In one photo, she looked radiant in a white crochet halterneck beach cover-up as she posed alongside her eldest daughter, Constance.
Meanwhile, in another snap, Jenny's youngest daughter, Polly, can be seen meditating in front of a Buddha garden statue as she spends quality time with her mum.
In another sizzling bikini-clad snap, the Wheel Of Fortune star flaunted her toned physique in a hot pink bikini featuring an orange lace trim as she lay on rocks, soaking up the sun.
The beauty also gave fans a glimpse into the family's dreamy villa and shared several snaps of her hunky fiancé.
In one snap, Martin went shirtless, showing off his muscly physique, as he marvelled over the incredible views.
Sharing the highlights of their trip, Jenny captioned the post: 'Villa views, barefoot adventures, chilling in hammocks and yoga on the decking that was our family holiday ! Every hour, the golden hour in @canllum Deia ☀️.
'We all chose a pic to sum up the trip .. Martin's was the view , Connie's were the crystals, I had my yoga space and love the fact Polly's were the ice cubes from the fridge feeezer (laughing emoji)'
Jenny underwent a robotic hysterectomy last year to manage extreme symptoms as a result of menopause.
She has been open about her health battle and has often displayed her scars from the gruelling surgery as a way of raising awareness.
Reflecting on her recovery and sharing images of her scars healing last year she warned for other women to 'take the healing process seriously'.
She penned: 'What a month four weeks on from my robotic hysterectomy and healing well. I have been overwhelmed, truly, by the response to my posts and updates.
'I'm planning on an event and building a community on here but also keeping in touch with as many of you as I can. So just to say, healing and slowing down to do so is hard work in itself.
'I've found it very hard to ignore the chores of every day life in work, at home and play. So take the healing process seriously or it will bite you on the bum later on down the line.
'Make sure you have a plan in place and get the right advice post op regarding your hormones /HRT /self care and accept help whenever you a get it... (thank you, Mum, my girls and everyone at work!) so hystersisters, more to come as we are on the road to recovery... we've got this!!'
She shared snaps of her scars at each week for the four weeks and also posted a series of lovely messages from other women who had been through the same thing.
The high-tech remote-controlled machines were deployed by NHS Trusts to clear the backlog of women who missed out on vital operations during the Covid pandemic.
While the devices cost just under £2 million each, they slash the time it takes to perform the delicate surgery, and as they also work with pinpoint accuracy it means patients recover faster.
Called Hominis, this surgical system is operated by a human controller who maneuvers the robotic arms while watching the procedure happening on a screen in real time.
The robot features shoulder, elbow and wrist joints to provide human human level dexterity and 360-degree articulation.
An additional arm guides a laparoscopic video camera through a small, separate incision, to help visualize the internal procedure.
Hominis enters through the vagina to perform the hysterectomy and then wraps its arms around the uterus to perform the operation.
Jenny used the two week milestone after her procedure to give an update, telling her followers: 'It is two weeks to the day that I had my hysterectomy.
'I've had thousands of people messaging and I just want to clear one thing up - I had a robotic hysterectomy so I had a surgeon who was controlling a robot's arms to do the whole operation.
'So it was less invasive but also the recovery time is a bit quicker.'
Issuing a warning to others in recovery she then added: 'Recovery wise I have been doing a few things here and there and I was absolutely floored yesterday because I did too much - so don't over do it - it's not worth it.'
Continuing her video as she displayed her scars: 'The scars are looking good but there's a lot of healing going on on the inside and that's the thing so small steps.'
She also shared an image of her stomach and penned in the caption: '2 weeks post op: No need for painkillers (just itchy from healing). Can lie on my side to sleep at last.
'Sticking to a high fibre diet. Readjusting my HRT with my consultant. Going outdoors/ walking/ rehab. Playing the healing frequency 285 on Spotify AND REST.'
The beauty also gave fans a glimpse into the family's dreamy villa and shared several snaps of her hunky fiancé
Soon after undergoing the operation in early October, Jenny explained: 'I've suffered for so long with all sorts of symptoms and tried all sorts, but yeah it's time, so hence the hysterectomy.
'Because I'm menopausal of course things are different it's not like this is been brought on early.
'But I'm just wondering if they'll be any connection between it and my emotions. So it will be interesting. I'm just about to put my fancy gown on so come back later.'
Jenny previously revealed she was forced into hospital after severe menopause symptoms left her struggling to 'get out of bed every day.'
The presenter said she was forced to undergo an iron infusion after suffering from anaemia due to severe blood loss.
She told Closer magazine: 'The menopause affected me mentally and I didn't feel like me. My periods were awful, I'd have to change about five times a day and I lost that much blood that I became anaemic. I was really tired and depressed.
'I'd struggle to get out of bed and I couldn't wait to go back to bed at night.'
Jenny spoke candidly about her experience with perimenopause - the time before a woman's periods stop - and said she didn't address her symptoms straight away and her condition became worse because she'd left it so long.
It meant she ended up needing treatment in hospital, adding: 'I left it too long to get it sorted, so in the end I had to have iron infusions in hospital.'
At the time, Jenny also took to her Instagram Stories to share a sizzling snap where she made the most of the heatwave by taking a dip in a pond, with her scars on full display in her two-piece.
She seemed to be on cloud nine as she flashed a smile while dipping her feet into the water, captioning the post: 'Days like these #wildswimming uk scars 'n' all.'
It came after Jenny flaunted her incredible figure in a green bikini earlier this year, as she proudly showed off her surgery scars while wild swimming
The holiday snaps come after Jenny put on a busty display in a skimpy zig-zag bikini last month as she revealed the shocking indecent proposal a beach worker made to her in Miami.
Speaking to her Instagram followers, Jenny said she was just hours away from flying back to the UK after interviewing Gloria Estefan, but not before enjoying some last-minute sunshine at the beach.
She told fans: 'So about three hours left till my car picks me up to take me back to the UK after interviewing Gloria Estefan, um happy days.
'In the meantime, getting the rays. Good news is, a brolly and a lounger just for a few hours is about $25 dollars as opposed to about 150 in Ibiza. So, that's good news.'
She then revealed the shocking comment, adding: 'On the flip side, the guy who sorts out all the loungers and the brolly's here on the beach told me his wife's left him and that he's very virile and he fancied his chances.
'So, I've sent him on his way. Don't worry. And yeah, happy weekend everyone. You've gotta laugh, haven't you?'
She comically captioned the bikini-clad clip: 'Bet you can relate ladies ! And well, God loves a trier (laughing emojis) Happy weekend .. see you in the other side !'
What is a hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a woman's uterus.
There are three kinds:
The operation is most commonly performed on women between the ages of 40 and 49.
More than 20 million American women have had a hysterectomy, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As women approach menopause, the odds that they will develop one of several serious uterine health conditions increases. Doctors may recommend a hysterectomy as a treatment for:
fibroids
endometriosis
uterine (endometrial) cancer
chronic uterine pain or bleeding
collapsed uterus
In some cases, doctors may suggest a hysterectomy as a preventative measure if a woman has significant warning or early signs of developing one or more of these conditions.
When necessary, surgeons may also remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes, if these have also been damaged or are at serious risk of damage.
The removal of reproductive organs sends a woman's body into menopause, no matter how old she is.
This comes with unpleasant side effects like hot flashes, and many women have to start hormone therapy, taking oestrogen to balance out their own hormones.

Marcus Rashford looks like a man reborn after leaving Man United for Barcelona... this opening chapter to his new life in Spain could scarcely have gone better, writes NATHAN SALT

As the black Mercedes people carrier carrying Marcus Rashford and his entourage turned the corner towards the offices at the Camp Nou, a crowd of giddy youngsters suddenly sprung into life. Some had already started live streaming on social media, others begged parents to go on their shoulders for a better look. One brave child even decided to climb the fence to get a prime view of Rashford walking into the stadium. Out he stepped in a tailored black suit - the decision to forgo a tie was a wise one in the muggy 27-degree heat - with a smile as big as it has been for some time. He waved to the fans clamouring for autographs before heading inside to meet Barcelona president Joan Laporta. Marcus Mania, to coin the chaos, was alive and well. Around by the club shop another large crowd had formed, most eager to catch a glimpse of a player and a man that has caused great fascination in recent days. Mail Sport had to fight through the crowd to make it in. Inside the shop a flurry of Rashford shirts were being hastily unpacked by workers and there was a frantic search for spare hangers. Papers such as Mundo Deportivo ran a story explaining the meaning behind Rashford's tattoos, other outlets discussed his bold fashion. Very few who lined the streets outside the Camp Nou cared one iota about him being cast aside by Manchester United. In fact the only similarity to Manchester for much of this ceremonial affair was the weather. Of course it had to rain on Rashford's big day. But what was apparent throughout a long day of interviews, announcements and autograph signings was that Rashford is happy and healthy. As he stood on the top floor of the club shop to face up to the Spanish press for the first team, photographers sprawled across the floor and a dozen-plus cameras broadcasting his every word, Rashford looked content, confident even, that his recent down years at United do not define him. 'The situation with [Manchester] United - the club is in a period of change and they have been for a while,' he said. 'I don't have anything bad to say about Man United. It's been an important part of not only my career but my life, and I'm very grateful for the opportunity to play for them. 'But football is the same as life, and not everything goes as simple as you may think. 'This is my next step, my next chapter, and I'm fully focused on this and trying to improve myself and help the team win trophies. 'I don't have anything to say about United, I hope they are successful in the future. I'm focused here and I'm ready to play and experience this club.' And that was that for questions on Manchester United. A classy response to a saga that was on the precipice of turning ugly after being bombed out by Ruben Amorim and put into a 'bomb squad' group that were told they could only arrive at Carrington to train after he and the first team had gone home. 'I'm in a good place,' he added. He looked it too. No inkling of resentment. No suggestion of revenge. He smiled, laughed on occasion, and simply looked like a man at peace with the ups and downs of a whirlwind career that can be traced all the way back to his senior United debut in February 2016. Stood in the wings was his mum Melanie, brothers Dane and Dwaine, as well as some other agents and intermediaries. They all lit up in unison as he spoke. On the wall that Rashford was facing as he coolly took on a flurry of questions about his motivations, his early impressions of the city and the team, and his conversations with boss Hansi Flick, was a collage of the great Johan Cruyff. It was his No 14 shirt that Rashford chose, not the No 19 once worn by Lionel Messi and the number Rashford was once owner of at Manchester United. 'It's a traditional number for the club and it's a unique club,' he added. 'Everything about the club is special and to wear this shirt is an honour.' This is the third time Barcelona have tried to sign Rashford. They tried first in 2019 and now, six years later, the pair are together. It's a place, as Rashford put it, where 'dreams come true'. 'I want to win the biggest trophies and I feel like Barcelona is a huge club in the football world so it's the perfect place to go and win the biggest trophies. 'You saw last season they have a very young team ambitious team and I want to come and add my qualities and personality and try to improve the team.' Rashford had barely broken sweat, which was impressive given the near 30-degree temperatures all day in a suit, before he was ushered out the door ahead of a customary dinner with Barcelona's top executives in a high-end restaurant. Once upon a time his dream as a young kid growing up in Wythenshawe was to pull on the shirt of Manchester United. Rashford got to live that dream. Now, at 27, it's time to realise another. For the first time in a long time Rashford looked like that kid that was dreaming of playing football, the one who was climbing the fence to catch even the smallest glimpse. Dreams change and new stories are continuously written. As for an opening chapter of life in Barcelona, this one couldn't have gone much better.

Camila Cabello sizzles in a skimpy string bikini next to her rich beau during lovefest in Ibiza

was seen enjoying a sunny beach day on Wednesday in Ibiza, Spain. The Senorita singer was in a tiny white string bikini that was very flattering to her toned and slender figure as it was low on fabric but high on style. The 28-year-old Cuba native was not alone during her dip in the warm Balearic Sea. Behind her was her new boyfriend, Lebanese businessman Henry Junior Chalhoub, 38. The day before they were seen kissing on both a wood dock as well as in the water as they seemed like they could not pack in enough affection. Ibiza is one of the Balearic islands, an archipelago of Spain in the Mediterranean Sea. It's well known for the lively nightlife in Ibiza Town and Sant Antoni, where major European nightclubs have summer outposts. The Senorita singer was in a tiny white string bikini that was very flattering to her toned and slender figure as it was low on fabric but high on style Henry looked ready to swim in his red ombre swimming trunks as he wore black sunglasses on his head. The day before he had on black camouflage shorts. Camila wore her long hair down as she added a gold cross necklace and small hoop earrings. The singer's new love Henry is believed to be a member of the wealthy Chalhoub family, known for founding the Dubai-based luxury fashion company, Chalhoub Group. Before their trip to Ibiza, the couple were seen in Monaco at the Formula 1 races. Cabello and Chalhoub were first linked in November 2024 at an Elie Saab fashion show afterparty in Saudi Arabia. They sparked romance rumors when they were seen packing on the PDA as they frolicked in the ocean in St. Barts in January. The couple went to the pre-BAFTA Nominees party on February 15 in London. They also piled on the PDA while sitting in the front row of Chanel's 2025 Fall/Winter fashion show on March 11 in Paris. They were playfully holding hands before the fashion show started until Chalhoub saw someone filming them and hid his face behind Camila's shoulder. Chalhoub comes from a very wealthy family who owns Dubai-based luxury fashion distribution company Chalhoub Group. The company works with Versace, Jimmy Choo, Jacquemus and several LVMH-owned brands. The mission of the company is to be a partner and creator of luxury experiences in the Middle East,' per their official website.

Cabello went on to outline her 'dream life': 'I want to make songs and have incredible experiences with people. 'I don't want to be locked up in a hotel room and just do press and red carpets. That's not the kind of life I want to live.' The Havana, Cuba, native is gearing up to hit the road for her second headlining concert tour in support of her latest and fourth studio album, C, XOXO . The Yours, C Tour, which marks her first tour in over seven years, kicked off June 21 in in Marbella, Spain, with dates across Europe, Asia, Australia and South America.
