Swimsuit-clad Frankie Bridge parties up a storm in £285 Pucci sarong with husband Wayne on a Bermuda boat
The Saturdays singer, 36, shared snaps of the couple living it up at a boat party to her Instagram on Thursday.
Clad in black backless swimsuit and a £285 colourful Pucci sarong, Frankie harked back to her days as a popstar as she danced alongside friends to Temperature by Sean Paul.
She accessorised her look for the early birthday party with a chunky pair of £175 gold Missoma pearl drop earrings and a stylish woven cowgirl hat.
Meanwhile Wayne, 44, seemed elated to be soaking in the sun while sporting an eye-catching multi-coloured cardigan.
The couple also posed for a sun-soaked selfie together, with a pouting Frankie covering her eyes in a pair of pink-tinted sunglasses and the former footballer with a black pair.
Frankie - who celebrated 10 years of marriage with Wayne last year - captioned the slew of holiday snaps: 'You can take the girl out of Essex...
'Bermuda for the birthday girl @mrstorcook (it's not actually her birthday until August but whatever) and btw... I'm the youngest.'
After undergoing a £7,000 hair transplant in October, Wayne was certainly showing off a fuller head of hair for the family trip to the Caribbean.
The former England left-back had more than 4,000 hairs implanted into the thinning areas of his scalp in London late last year.
He revealed the results of the transplant with new images last week, admitting he was 'buzzing' with the result.
Wayne said his new hairstyle has brought about a huge boost in confidence.
He explained: 'It's like I've got a full head of hair again and the transformation is pretty unbelievable.
'When I look at the before and after pictures it is pretty amazing and it has done so much for my self-confidence.'
Wayne had been losing his hair right across his scalp for around ten years and by the time of his transplant last September he said that the cover was sparse and he was always trying to hide his baldness.
He explained: 'I used to move it around to cover it up. I didn't get a lot of banter about it from mates because I was so good at hiding it.
'I work in the media and knew that I would really benefit from getting it sorted. You feel so much more confident when your hair looks good.
'It is so much thicker now and it takes me no time to get it sorted out. I jump out of the shower, use a bit of product and then I am out. I'm buzzing and it means I can wear my hair a lot shorter now. Lots of people who are thinning have asked me where I got it done and want to do the same.
'Before I was always conscious of how my hair looked and it used to take me a lot longer to get ready.'
Wayne had the full backing of his wife Frankie, 36 - the former Saturdays singer turned TV presenter and podcaster - who loves his new look.
The popstar revealed earlier this year that she was suffering from gastroenteritis.
In a candid video, she told her 1.5million Instagram followers that her 'immunity has been so bad' after suffering from the disease, which causes an inflammation of the stomach.
The singer, who was dressed in a beige T-shirt and tracksuit bottoms, revealed she had been having other 'tests done' and has also been on 'antibiotics for a bad tooth'.
Speaking from her kitchen, Frankie shared: 'Hi guys it's been a little while and I've said a couple of time that I've been ill a lot lately so I thought I would give you an update.
'I've basically had gastroenteritis twice back to back. Which I very rarely get to be honest and it has completely wiped me out and been awful. I feel like my gut has massively suffered and it feels still really fragile.'
According to the NHS, gastroenteritis is a common inflammation of the stomach and intestines caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites.
It typically manifests with symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and stomach cramps, but can also include fever, fatigue, and headache.
Frankie continued: 'My immunity has been so bad and all while that has been going on I've been having tests done and I couldn't take my daily Symprove.
'On top of all of this I've been on antibiotics because I've had a bad tooth and I feel like I've noticed a massive difference in my immunity.'
The Saturday's star concluded by telling fans she has since been 'given the all clear' by doctors.
She added: 'I'm finally over it and I'm hoping it's the last time because I've been given the all clear to get back into my daily routine. I'm happy to be back and it's nice to be back in a routine.'

‘I was tricked into eating dog': Travel writers reveal their worst-ever holiday meals
Culinary experiences are often the highlight of a holiday. We're thinking of Seville's atmospheric tapas bars, sun-soaked (and cat-filled) Greek island tavernas and aperitivo hour in Milan. But they can also serve up the lowest of lowlights; gut-churning moments that linger in the memory for a lifetime. Here, seven of our well-travelled writers reveal the worst meal they've ever eaten abroad. 'I was tricked into eating dog' Living in a small Chinese city in my early 20s, I ate all manner of excellent foods: steaming hand-pulled noodles; five-spice smothered meat skewers; thick hotpots; piles of morning glory spiked through with chillies and black sauce. I would eat anything put in front of me – with just one exception: dog meat. A traditional winter delicacy, in the colder months you'd often see – on a long table, alongside other huge plates of raw fare from which customers could pick – a dish of meat with, frequently, the front paws laid across its edge as proof. I am a dog lover – at the time, I even had a dog whose breed hailed from Tibet. There was no way I was going to feast on one of his – or any dog's – relatives. My Chinese friends found this comical: you eat every other animal, they'd say (and I had); why not this one? So one evening, as we gathered around a big communal table, they conspired. Beer and baijiu flowed, the huge glass lazy Susan spun, and finally, without realising, I ended up picking at an unfamiliar meat. A howl of laughter erupted – 'it's dog! You ate dog!'. Wary not to cause offence, I shook my head and laughed along – but the chewy, beef-ish meat in my mouth tasted like ashes, and I've never really forgiven myself. Gemma Knight-Gilani 'It had the aroma of an overflowing urinal' I like to think I've eaten pretty much everything that walks, crawls, slithers or even just hangs there harmlessly in the ocean bothering nobody. (The latter was whale blubber, in Greenland – so glutinously, gelatinously fatty that I may have expended more calories trying to gnaw it than I gained digesting it; the former was 'Foraged Cornish Ants' in, of all places, posh Surrey country-house hotel Beaverbrook.) Only one dish has ever defeated me, in fact: hákarl, the Icelandic 'delicacy' (because 'vomitacy' is not a word) made from poisonous shark buried in sand until it starts to putrefy. Its high urea content gives it an aroma almost exactly like that of an overflowing urinal, and it tastes every bit as good as it smells. Worse still is the texture: smooth but chewy, so that as you gag – and you will gag – you're not sure if it's in your mouth on the way down or the way back up. 'It's ok', said the waiter, collecting my barely-touched plate, 'not even Icelanders actually eat it.' Ed Grenby 'The giant carcass was covered in a thick layer of grey jelly – which quivered as the elderly restaurant owner shuffled it over' As soon as I saw the chicken, I knew I'd made a terrible mistake. It lay sprawled on a platter, legs and wings akimbo, its giant carcass covered in a thick layer of grey jelly – which quivered as the elderly restaurant owner shuffled it over. There was no doubt it was for us: my then-boyfriend and I were the only two diners, watched over by a stern official from the Taiwan tourist board, our 'minder' for the entire stay. We were bog-eyed from the 14-hour flight, and when I'd spotted braised chicken on the menu it had sounded so comforting amid this bizarre scenario – nothing like the fridge-cold, ashen hunk of flesh and fat before me. The owner and official lingered at the tableside, and I forced a weak smile. But by the time I'd forced down two mouthfuls, I was in the danger zone. There was no way I could manage another, let alone finish the beast. 'I just can't…', I murmured to my boyfriend. Spotting my pallor, he wordlessly slid the platter to his side of the table and started to work, giving our companions a thumbs-up for good measure. I knew at that moment that he would be the man I'd marry – and he was. You can keep your diamonds, your roses: the man ate the chicken for me. It was so horrendous, that not even the chicken anus skewer I mistakenly tried a few days later eclipsed it – but that's another story... Hazel Plush 'I came home a stone lighter' Everyone we knew who'd gone to Cuba had a culinary horror story to tell, so we played it safe at a reassuringly expensive rooftop restaurant on our first night in Havana. We were young lovers and the setting was suitably romantic. Candles flickered in the Caribbean breeze as the old town twinkled below us and salsa drifted from a nearby club. A perfect evening, and then the food arrived. On first inspection, my chicken looked – if anything – carcinogenic, its charred skin evoking memories of 1980s barbecues. Inside, though, it was all blood and raw flesh, a red sea of salmonella, prompting the inevitable 'a good vet…' joke. Only getting decent food in Cuba is no laughing matter. Having initially claimed that the chicken was cooked, the waiter agreed to source a replacement, which turned out to be the same raw piece of mutilated meat, just flipped over. We left hungry, with no apology, paying only for booze. I'd dodged a bullet, but it was an omen. Days later I was floored by food poisoning so violent it made me nostalgic for Delhi belly. I came home a stone lighter with a culinary horror story of my own. Gavin Haines 'We chomped for what seemed like hours attempting to get through the gristle without retching' Okinawa remains one of my favourite places in the world. This is the island that opened my eyes to emoji-shaped fireworks, lilting sanshin music and Japan 's incredible underwater world. Being adventurous about food meant I indulged in the local crispy pigs ears and purple potato ice cream too – and both were delicious. But everyone has a line. And mine was firmly crossed when I found myself facing a plate of giant sea snails, each bigger than my fist and served in its shell, without a whiff of garlic or butter to mask its gelatinous ooze. These molluscs (also known as Turban Shells) were the star turn in a meal put on by the tourist board for visiting journalists, all of whom were far too polite to decline the dish. So on we chomped, for what seemed like several hours, attempting to get through the gristle without retching over each other. Thank goodness for the Asahi, which not only helped wash them down but also rendered me drunker with every mouthful. Amanda Hyde 'In less time than it takes to tell, there was more of me outside than in' I've had more run-ins with street food stands than you'll care to read about. Worst of all followed the eating of a chicken tamale in a small town outside Orizaba in Mexico. I was seeking traces of my Lancastrian grandfather, who'd had a textile business there decades before. And I was snacking because I'd lost much of my money. An exuberant pickpocket had squeezed in next to me on the bus, chatted gaily and got off with my cash. Initially tasty, the tamale counterattacked a couple of hours later, as I wandered the town. I hadn't booked a hotel, so had no room to return to. There was, though, a park nearby with, thank the Lord, tall, shielding tropical vegetation. In less time than it takes to tell, there was more of me outside than in. I collapsed on a park bench. A young shoe shine boy approached. Could he shine my shoes? No, I said, and if he didn't move briskly, he'd have more than shoes to clean. 'You're unwell,' he said. I nodded, and dashed once more for the bushes. 'Follow me,' he said. I staggered off behind him. Some minutes later we arrived at a white-washed, one-storey house. The young man went in and returned with his mother, Maria. She took me into a tiny bedroom at the back where I stayed for three days and nights, attended by Maria with bottled water and towels. As soon as I could move, I left. Maria, naturally, would take no money. She gave me to understand that looking after people was what women like her did. I left what cash I had left at the local grocery store, that Maria's next shop might be subsidised. And I wonder: if a random, exploding Mexican turned up at my house, would I be so unquestioningly generous? I hope so, I really do. Anthony Peregrine 'We dined in silence on rubbery gizzards' Over the years, I've had disgusting dinners across the world – from fried mopane worms in Namibia to confit of cow's udder at a gourmet restaurant in Bogota. Top of the gut-wrenching charts, however, was a Madagascan Christmas meal at a hostel in the highlands. Boiled more brutally than a Tudor-era traitor, my chicken had long passed on to several next lives. Rubbery gizzards were washed down with 'burned rice tea' – a fancy name for spent water used to soak old iron pots. Dining in silence, we listened to rusty church bells peel as beetles sizzled to death in blinding strip lights overhead. But food is only 50 per cent of a memorable dining experience. That night, my partner and I stayed in separate single-sex dorms wondering who might be first to barricade the loo. While I slept soundly, he was kept up by an elderly traveller farting and ranting about spies from MI5. The following morning, the old man shrugged off his unsociable behaviour, retorting: 'It must have been something I ate.'

Kim Kardashian and sister Khloe put detective hats on for unsolved mystery... 27 years after Amy Bradley vanished
Kim and Khloe Kardashian are reportedly trying to help solve the viral Amy Bradley missing persons case. Amy was just 23 when she mysteriously vanished in the early morning hours of March 21, 1998 while aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship with her family. The nearly 30-year-old case has garnered renewed interest following the release of the investigative three-part Netflix documentary, Amy Bradley Is Missing. Kim called the documentary 'mind blowing' in an Instagram Story post shared last month with her 355million followers. 'We must find Amy! This is so crazy @netflix,' the SKIMS founder, 44, wrote. The post caught the attention of Amy's distraught brother, Brad, who recently told TMZ that he tried contacting Kim via DM asking her to 'help [raise] awareness.' And now, the outlet is reporting that Kim and her younger sister Khloe, 40, have gotten in contact with the Bradley family directly — specifically, Amy's mother, Iva — in the hopes of aiding them in their ongoing search. Daily Mail has reached out to Kim and Khloe's representatives for comment. Sources claimed that Kim and Khloe personally contacted Iva via phone last Thursday to discuss the details of Amy's case and where the investigation currently stands. According to TMZ's insiders, Kim and Khloe were most intrigued by one suspicious detail in the documentary relating to a Barbados-based IP address, which has reportedly frequented the Amy Bradley Is Missing website. They reportedly spoke to to the Bradley family matriarch for 'about an hour.' The phone call was not filmed for the Kardashians' Hulu reality TV show as the sisters were solely focused on 'listening and brainstorming' with Iva about how they could help. The Bradley family are hopeful that Amy may still be still alive despite her being missing for nearly three decades. Kim involvement could prove beneficial as she's no stranger to the justice system, with the star having successfully advocated for clemency for several inmates along with studying law for the last seven years. The billionaire mogul completed her law program earlier this year, which puts her one step closer to becoming a lawyer like her late father Robert Kardashian. Kim and Khloe's alleged contact with the Bradley family comes shortly after Amy's brother spoke out about her mysterious disappearance 27 years ago. Amy, a recent college graduate, had set off on a seven-day trip with her parents and younger brother Brad from the Puerto Rican capital of San Juan on Saturday, March 21, 1998. Two days later, as they set sail for the island of Curacao, Amy and Brad partied at the ship's nightclub, after which she was seen resting on her balcony. But when her father checked on her early the next morning, she had gone, leaving no trace apart from a polo shirt and some sandals - and she has not been seen since. The case has made headlines once more as it's re-investigated Netflix's new Amy Bradley Is Missing documentary. It arrived on the streaming platform on July 16 and has since opened the floodgates for new theories and speculation over what happened. Amy's brother Brad shared what he believes happened to his sister while speaking on British TV to 'This Morning' hosts Emma Willis and Joel Dommett. The Bradleys have always been adamant that Amy neither fell nor jumped from their balcony, because she was scared of how high it was. Joining the ITV show on via link with his mother, Brad said from Virginia: 'Well obviously we don't know where she is. 'Since the show came out we've gotten thousands of tips, leads and people sending prayers, love and different ideas. 'We think what happened to Amy was that she was targeted.' 'She was seen, taken and removed from the ship and we believe she was trafficked into some kind of sex trade situation,' Brad continued. 'Obviously we need that one person who knows something to come forward and help us. 'Actually, I think there's more than one person who knows but we're waiting on that one call that breaks this thing open.' Before the release of Amy Bradley Is Missing, the family hoped the program would spark more tips, jog some memories and lead to real answers. However, her family have faced cruel trolling and backlash from Netflix viewers. Brad previously told Daily Mail that the documentary has been particularly difficult for his mother. 'Back then, there was no cell phones, there was not a whole lot of internet going on, there was no social media,' he said. 'There was none of that.' 'The upcoming series has been really tough on Mom, mostly, emotionally,' he added. 'And Dad obviously doesn't like that part of it for all of us.'

Revealed: The surprisingly illegal things tourists can get in trouble for - from chewing gum to dancing
There's plenty of things to consider when visiting somewhere new - from the language, different cuisine, to cultural norms. Rules and laws vary across countries, too, and some may seem surprising to foreigners. Dubai has strict regulations around government buildings, while in France, drivers should be aware of a certain type of footwear when driving. In Venice, pigeons are a no-go for feeding, and in Singapore, lovers of chewing gum might struggle. Read on below to find out all the surprisingly illegal things around the world. Dubai In the United Arab Emirates, people are prohibited taking photographs of government buildings. The UK Foreign Office warns: 'It is illegal to take photos of some government buildings and military installations. 'Hobbies like bird watching and plane spotting may be misunderstood, particularly near military sites, government buildings and airports.' Greece A popular destination for its sandy beaches, white buildings and delicious cuisine. But tourists visiting Greece should be mindful of what shoes they wear when sightseeing historic structures. High heels have been banned from landmarks in Athens, including the Acropolis and the Epidaurus Theatre, since 2009. Anyone not following the rule could be hit with a €900 fine, according to the The Express. Italy While in Venice, visitors may be enamoured by the many characterful pigeons, but they are prohibited from feeding them. It's been illegal to do so since 2008, when the sale and distribution of grain to feed pigeons was banned. At the time, according to Reuter s, the pesky birds were pecking at marble statues in the cities looking for crumbs. France Any holidaymakers driving through France should be careful of their footwear choice. Drivers are prohibited from wearing 'unsuitable footwear' according to Travel And Tour World. Officers often check those in popular holiday hotspots for the mistake. Sweden Previously in Sweden, venues including nightclubs and bars needed a permit for customers to be allowed to legally dance. The Swedish government said in 2023 it intended to scrap the 67-year-old law that required owners of night clubs and bars to obtain a license for dancing. Instead, it was proposed that they would have to register with the police, according to AP. Sri Lanka Many tourists enjoy taking photographs during their holidays as keepsakes. However, it is prohibited to take pictures with Buddha statues in Sri Lanka. The UK Foreign Office notes: 'Do not pose for photographs standing in front of a statue of Buddha.' Singapore Though perfectly acceptable to consume in the UK, chewing gum is restricted in Singapore. According to the Economic Times, it is illegal to import, sell or carry gum in the country. Those doing so need a medical prescription, and only dental gum is allowed. The law was made in an attempt to help keep the country clean, and stop damage to pavements. Egypt While in Egypt, it is prohibited to use drones without official permission. The Foreign Office warns against using the tech and says, 'It is illegal to use radio-controlled helicopters or drones to take photos near sensitive sites. 'Do not import, use or produce drones in Egypt unless the Egyptian Ministry of Defence gives you permission beforehand. 'Anyone who uses or imports drones without permission could get a prison sentence of up to 7 years or a fine of 5,000 to 50,000 Egyptian pounds.' Maldives Holidaymakers should be mindful when relaxing in public beaches and local areas of what swimwear they're wearing. The Foreign Office advises: 'You should be sensitive to local dress standards when outside holiday resorts, including on beaches used by locals.' They add that men and women should 'have arms and upper legs covered when bathing'. 'Nudism and topless sunbathing are not allowed anywhere, including on resort islands.' While some beaches on private resorts are more relaxed with the rules and allow bikinis and other swimwear, according to Explore.
