Love Island All Stars winners Molly Smith and Tom Clare enjoy lavish trip to Marrakesh with luxury dinners and huge pool - and it's all free!
Love Island All Stars winner Molly Smith and Tom Clare enjoyed a lavish trip to Marrakesh in Morocco this week. The loved-up pair - who won the series last winter - have jetted to the African country to stay at the swanky Nobu Marrakesh. Molly, 30, shared a hunky topless snap of Tom, 25, as he enjoyed one of the resort's huge pools while she posed in a gorgeous white dress while they ate out at one of the many restaurants. They also dined on a delicious-looking poolside breakfast and explored the old city's famous markets. All of the posts on both of their Instagram stories were by tags for Jet2holidays as well as the hotel's official profile as they specified it was an 'AD.' Often influencers and social media stars are given free trips in return for posting about the resorts. A Junior Suite at Nobu Marrakesh currently costs £393 a night. It comes after last month Molly showed off her sculpted abs in a sizzling Instagram bikini video. The reality star turned fitness guru looked amazing as she showed off her figure in the Bydee Cyprus Reverie bikini set by the sea in Positano, Italy. She could be seen stepping out of the water after a dip and lounging by the rippling waves as she soaked up the sun. Molly briefly tied her hair up to go swimming in the sea before wearing it down in mermaid-like waves on land, accessorising with a silver watch and Van Cleef bracelet. She wrote: 'There's no better feeling than being able to fully switch off, knowing you've already put in the work.' Molly went on to praise her own workout plans, which she shares online, claiming that they have helped thousands to feel 'strong, confident, and empowered'. She explained that the key to having a successful fitness routine is having 'no extremes! just sustainable, powerful progress.' Fans were quick to praise the Love Island star's body in the comments section, writing: 'wow wish I had that body.'; 'That body is INSANE.' Others simply replied with heart-eye emojis. Molly told Cosmopolitan that, for her, 'exercise is about feeling strong, confident, and pushing my body to its limits.' 'I mix it up with gym sessions, home workouts, and outdoor activities like hiking or running,' she explains. Earlier last year, the Boohoo ambassador sparked engagement rumours with her boyfriend Tom Clare, 25 - just months after they formed a sweet romance on the debut series of Love Island: All Stars in January. The stars, who were crowned winners of the All Stars version of the ITV2 reality TV show, set tongues wagging among eagle-eyed fans as they soaked up the sun in the Indian Ocean island paradise in August of last year. Tom hinted that he had popped the question to Molly as he took to his Instagram to post a mirror selfie of the pair, captioning it with: 'Wifey.' In the stunning snap, the loved-up pair both looked incredibly tanned as Tom gently placed his hand around Molly's waist for the snap. Tom went shirtless and sported a pair of black swimming shorts as he struck up a smile for the camera. Molly has become a fan favourite after once again winning the nation's hearts on the All Stars 2024 edition, and was unveiled as Boohoo's new face in March of last year, also cementing her status as a model and fashion ambassador.

Ayoade Bamgboye: Swings and Roundabouts review – commanding comic's thrilling debut
The fringe is nothing if not a place where unknowns can write their names across the stars. Ayoade Bamgboye does so in a matter of moments in her debut show, Swings and Roundabouts, which makes instantly clear that, wow, here's a voice you can't help but listen to. It's a slippery one, mind you: the show is delivered now in a Nigerian accent, now in BBC Radio 4 RP, with no guide to the shifting register. It's ticklishly destabilising, and wholly justified by a show tracing the Londoner's journey (cultural, geographical, even metaphysical) from Africa to the UK. That makes it sound like a conventional fringe debut, but it's not, or at least, not to begin with. Thrillingly, Bamgboye pitches us straight into Swings and Roundabouts – no context, no handrails – with a giddy story about eavesdropping on a quarrel in a Co-op. Her command, the confidence in her delivery and how she makes the whole room her own, is quite something. There's no point denying that the set then reverts more to fringe-rookie type, flashing back to the story of where Bamgboye has come from and who she now is. In our host's case, that's an oldest (or in Yoruba culture, youngest) twin, unusually interested in the circumstances of audience members' births, with a name meaning 'crown of joy' and a superiority complex to match. A move to the UK in her twenties knocked that joy out of Bamgboye, though; one routine here workshops English terms for misery. Her outsider eye for native British idiom surfaces throughout the show, helping pep things up as its lost-soul protagonist turns to God ('I gave my life to Christ. He gave it right back'), loses her father (cue a lovely supermarket metaphor for parental bereavement), and turns to the Samaritans. None of this is downbeat – it's a show characterised by bright thinking, vocal variety and the kind of dizzying hairpin turns (into song, into sudden dramatic monologue) that explain why her therapist compared her to Jim Carrey. The impression is of a live-wire artist making up her own rules, and as striking a debut as I've seen at this year's fringe.
