Fearne Cotton looks incredible in a plunging red swimsuit and ab-flashing workout gear in behind the scenes snaps from her wellness trip to Ibiza
Fearne Cotton looked incredible wearing a plunging red swimsuit in behind the scenes images from her recent wellness trip to Ibiza. The telly favourite, 43, looked happy and healthy in the one-piece while posing on a boat as she cruised through the med with the wind in her hair. She later changed into a two piece, throwing a nude crocheted cover up over the top while being shown the sites on her boat trip. Enjoying some 'me-time', the mother-of-two later changed into a two piece, throwing a nude crocheted cover up over the top while being shown the sites on her boat trip. The mental health advocate, best-selling author and long-standing broadcaster took a hike to get a good view of Es Vedrà during sunrise. Es Vedrà is a small rocky island standing at almost 400 metres high where people typically go to practise meditation because it's associated with positive energy and spirituality. Naturally, Fearne added a fashionable flourish to her look wearing a thin scarf around her neck and carrying a crossbody bag for the excursion. Other behind the scenes photos showed Fearne getting the giggles while deep in conversation with handsome Pablo Leonard, co-founder of Into The Island, who was showing her the sights. Fearne, who is a GetYourGuide ambassador, has been finding the balance of letting her hair down and prioritising wellness. She likes to visit Ibiza, an island she considers to be her happy place - every year and has been embracing the single life since announcing she has split from husband Jesse Wood in December 2024 after 10 years of marriage. While there, she celebrated her friend's 50th birthday during her latest trip on the island, where she was pictured wearing a blue sequin mini dress and looking happier than ever. Fearne - who rarely drinks alcohol - completed the eye-catching outfit with silver boots and matching jewellery, posing for photos with friends as they danced the night away. She captioned the post: 'A weekend of dancing and filming in Ibiza. First up celebrating Hedvig's 50th. So many special memories made. Danced all day (shout out to my dance partner Emma. So many memories in the happy box). She took in the sights as she stood atop a rock during her hike 'Then filming something cool with the loveliest team of people which will be out soon. A relentless, vibrant weekend of lovely people. My cup is full and I need some sleep.' Her post came after Fearne's ex, Jesse proved things are getting serious in his new relationship with Gemma Gregory. The musician, 48, went public with his romance with the former Made In Chelsea star, 39, two months ago and they are going from strength to strength. Fearne is keen to urge Ibiza revellers to discover the alternative side of the island given that over a third of British travellers would avoid bars and clubs when visiting and has teamed up with GetYourGuide to serve up Ibiza: Unplugged wellness experiences. Priced at 40 euros, the average price of Ibiza club entry, it features a sunrise hike, boat trip, yoga class and sound bath all in a half-day itinerary. Tequilas or tumeric? It's not just Fearne taking a new approach to holidaying, GetYourGuide and YouGov surveyed over 2,500 British travellers and found 1 in 3 (30%) avoid clubbing and hangovers to ensure they can make the most of their holiday activities. In equal measure it's the cost of drinks (32%) and club entry (32%) which are putting over a third of British travellers off clubbing abroad. With Brits three times more likely to pick a holiday for having a well-known spa (13%) versus a famous nightclub (4%). Fearne said: 'I first visited Ibiza 20 years ago and fell in love with the island's energy and people. There's something truly magical about this place and however hectic my life gets, a trip here will always bring me back to myself. Over the last two decades I've discovered the best secret spots for sunrise hikes, chilly dips and soulful yoga sessions. And this summer I'm going to let you in on some of my hidden gems. With GetYourGuide I've curated the perfect way to unplug and spend a chilled day in Ibiza, guided by true experts that know the island like the back of their hand. And the best thing about it? It's all for the price of a club entry. So treat yourself to a night off!' Ibiza Unplugged, is running on selected dates throughout August, and has been co-created with trusted GetYourGuide partner, Into The Island. Bookings go live on Tuesday for 'Ibiza: Unplugged' on the GetYourGuide website and app available on a first-come-first-serve basis on 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd August 2025.

Europe's heat wave creates dangerous conditions, shutters Eiffel Tower
The blistering temperatures caused one of the world's most popular tourist attractions, the Eiffel Tower, to close its top floor, shorten its hours and turn away visitors who don't have advanced tickets. In Belgium, where temperatures reached the high 90s, officials closed the Atomium attraction, a model of an iron molecule built for the 1959 Brussels World's Fair. It is only the second time the model changed hours because of heat. The first was in 2019. Italy, meanwhile, issued heat wave red alerts across 17 cities, including Milan and Rome. Several regions of the Mediterranean country banned outdoor work during the hottest hours of the day. The extreme heat across the western Europe is the result of a heat dome. That's a common summer weather pattern that produces high pressure and acts as a cap, locking heat in underneath, France's weather service said. Parts of Europe set heat records The scorching temperatures come as Spain, Portugal and England recorded their hottest June last month. The average temperature in Spain was 78 degrees Fahrenheit in June. On June 30, it rose to about 100 degrees, according to the country's weather service. Those highs are "exceptional" the World Meteorological Organization said in an online forecast. Europe typically experiences its hottest temperatures of the year in July. The organization cites human-induced climate change as a reason for the extreme heat. More than two thirds of the continent's most severe heatwaves since 1950 have occurred in the last 25 years, according to the World Meteorological Organization. By 2050, it expects "half of the European population may be exposed to high or very high risk of heat stress during summer." The agency said the punishing temperatures could cause severe, potentially life threatening, effects on human health. And many people can't seek shelter from the heat at home: As of 2019, only 20% of households in Europe had air conditioning installed, according to the European Environment Agency. Western US sees scorching temps Parts of the United States are also being gripped by higher-than-normal temperatures. The National Weather Service issued an extreme heat warning for parts of southwest Arizona and southeast California until 8 p.m. on July 1. Afternoon highs could reach between 110 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit in these regions, according to the agency Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Utah are all expected to see temperatures around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The weather service issued heat advisories through the evening of July 2 for much of those states, warning people to take extra precautions when outside. The agency also issued a red flag warning for much of northern California and north-central Nevada, meaning that "critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly." These can include a "combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior." "Heat will build over the Intermountain West and the Southwest the next couple of days," the National Weather Service said in an online forecast on June 30. "Lightning from dry thunderstorms can create new fire starts and combined with gusty winds may cause a fire to rapidly grow in Oregon and northern California."
