"I've [recently] been in Mallorca and Greece - jetsetter!" Alex bragged, and this seemed to surprise Danni: "Have you? How have I missed that, considering you put everything on Instagram!"
"Jet setting around trying to find a husband," Alex joked.
"Did you find a Greek God?" Danni asked and her co-host replied: "No, I didn't find a Greek God.
"The way I describe it, is that they're [Greek men] on the cusp of being Gods, they just can't…they're not over the hill."

Danni didn't agree: "Really? I find Greek men super attractive - I've definitely snogged loads of them.
"That's why I go to Greece a lot…that's why I spent a lot of time filming there," she joked. "No, but they're fit, nice dark features …"
"Yes they are, but there's still something missing for me," Alex remarked.
As for whether she had any holiday romances on her recent trips, she said "just friendships".

Mallorca, Greece, next up was Croatia.
Danni wondered: "Have you ever been to Hvar in Croatia? Havar, you'd love it, it's like a little party island and everybody seems to be fit there."
Recalling one summer when she went to Hvar with her younger sister, Danni said: "We went to a beach club, and I remember walking in, and turning around and looking at my sister's face, and my sister's face was [mouth open, jaw dropped].
"I asked her, 'What is it?' And she replied, 'everyone is so fit'.

"[I] started chatting to these guys, and I just couldn't see anybody that I would be that bothered about. I went to the bar to get a drink, and I turned around and this Adonis was standing behind me.
"He actually looked like a Greek God, really muscular, dark features, big beard. So I asked, 'Do you want to go skinny dipping?'"
He was the one who ended up getting with my sister's mate!

"Your opening line was 'Do you want to go skinny dipping?'" Alex asked. "Basically, 'I want to see you naked right now."
"We went skinny dipping and had a snog quite quickly. I ended up dating him for a year - do you know the worse bit of this? I didn't ask his age - he was so hairy, I just assumed he was my age.

"He was a lot younger - I think he was nine years younger than me. He also worked internationally, he was a watch dealer, so he was catching flights everywhere. So he'd just fly out to wherever I was filming.
"What happened? Where is he now?" Alex wondered.
Danni revealed: "He didn't manifest.... he was the one who ended up getting with my sister's mate. So I probably should've seen that coming considering the age gap."
Why did Danni leave A Place In The Sun?

Danni presented on Channel 4's A Place In The Sun for nearly six years and left in 2022 to explore other opportunities closer to home.
She explained that "travelling as much as I did, I found it hard to establish relationships".
"Also, six years in the same job, travelling loads, it was such an amazing experience, went to lots of great places, met lots of great people," she added.

"I was very much in my comfort zone and now I'm very much out of my comfort zone and it makes you feel a little bit more alive to be honest."

5 holiday food rules this celeb nutritionist swears by to keep tummy trouble at bay
Celebrity nutritionist Gabriela Peacock has shared her top tips for avoiding a dodgy tummy while on holiday - and they're easier to follow than you might think With June now officially upon us and the summer holidays just weeks away, many of us are beginning to plan our getaways. Whether it's discovering the hidden gems of the British Isles, soaking up some European charm on a mini city-break, or jetting off for a longer stay on a sun-drenched beach - one thing is certain, you don't want an upset stomach ruining your plans. Digestive issues reportedly affect between 30% and 70% of holidaymakers each year, depending on which study you refer to. This suggests that while it may be embarrassing to be confined to the loo, suffering from cramps, or battling with nausea, you're certainly not alone if you've ever been struck down while trying to enjoy a holiday. So, why do people fall ill and what can they do to prevent it? Travel itself is one of the main factors contributing to illness when going abroad, particularly when crossing multiple time zones. This can disrupt your body's natural circadian rhythm, affecting everything from sleep to digestion and even hormone production, reports the Express. This disruption can make it harder to fall asleep, leave you feeling tired upon waking, cause digestive problems, or result in mood swings - all things that can dampen the excitement of a much-anticipated holiday. And it's not just major changes that can cause issues, but a combination of small deviations can also have a detrimental impact on your health, according to Women's Health. Celebrity nutritionist and author Gabriela Peacock has shared her insights on the importance of maintaining a routine, stating: "Even just shifting your routine, such as eating at odd times, sleeping less, or sitting for long periods, can cause imbalances. I always tell my clients: your body thrives on rhythm." She further explained: "So, while travel naturally brings some chaos, anchoring your day with simple routines, like waking and eating at consistent times, staying hydrated, and getting sunlight early in the day, can help reset your internal clock." But how can we tackle this issue? Start with protein It only seems fitting to start Gabriela's recommendations with the most important meal of the day - and that's breakfast. She recommends starting off with a healthy dose of protein in the morning, such as eggs, avocado, or Greek yoghurt with berries. Stay hydrated In hot climates it may seem like a no-brainer, but closer to home we're often guilty of neglecting our water intake. Gabriela recommends staying hydrated, particularly during and after long flights, and even suggests boosting electrolytes with a pinch of Celtic sea salt or pre-packaged sachets to ensure your body is in tip-top shape for the day ahead. Don't skip meals When away from home there can sometimes be a tendency to skip meals while trying to cram everything into a day, but this a huge no-no, according to Gabriela as skipping meals often backfires later with sugar crashes or overeating. Instead, she recommends eating regular balanced meals to help keep blood sugar stable. Snacks are a godsend If you don't fancy tucking into a solid meal, snacks can be a good alternative option particularly if you pick healthy choices that pack a protein punch. ' I always travel with some nuts, a protein bar, or sachets of protein powder so I'm never caught off guard,' explained Peacock. ' You can get great cured meats in Europe too – which act as a great high-protein snack!' Don't be afraid to try local food When travelling, don't be afraid to indulge in local cuisine while you're experiencing a new place. Whether that's a delicious Akee and Saltfish in Jamaica, a dreamy Linguine in Italy, or a Sukiyaki hotpot in Japan, experiencing the different flavours and delicacies while abroad can add a huge new sensory element to your getaway. However, while Gabriela highly encourages tucking in, she does add that you should monitor your own body, and try not to eat too heavily for several days in a row to avoid any unfortunate mishaps.

Blackpool magician Harry Moulding crowned winner of Britain's Got Talent
Magician Harry Moulding has described his time on Britain's Got Talent as "the most incredible journey" after he was crowned the winner of ITV show. The 24-year-old fell to his knees with joy as presenters Ant and Dec declared him champion during the live show on Saturday night. Moulding, who wowed the judges with a card trick which featured a video of him skydiving out of a plane, takes home £250,000 and a spot in the Royal Variety Performance. 'I genuinely feel like everyone has been behind me", he said after winning the public vote. "This has been the most incredible journey." The illusionist, from Blackpool, was fast-tracked to the final after guest judge and Youtube star KSI hit the golden buzzer in the semi-final, which also saw him propose to his girlfriend. Dance group The Blackouts were this year's runners-up after performing a light show to hits by Robbie Williams and Take That. In third place was nine-year-old gymnast Binita Chetry. Hear Our Voice, a choir made up of people impacted by the Post Office scandal, were the bookies' favourites heading into the final, but finished outside the top three. The finalists of the 18th series of ITV's talent contest, which started back in February, performed under the watchful eye of judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Tonioli.
