Una Healy sets pulses racing as she shows off her toned curves and washboard abs in a blue bikini for racy snap
The Saturdays legend, 43, showed off her sculpted abs and ample assets in the recent sexy Instagram shot which she captioned: 'Long 'May' its last ☀️.'
The beauty flashed a sultry look rocking her new auburn locks, followed by another stunning sun-kissed picture.
Una looked ravishing in a denim mini skirt and black top as she posed outdoors amid some retail therapy.
After that, it followed a sizzling selfie as the singer sported chic dark aviator shades and a straw fedora hat, embracing the perfect spring look.
The Irish singer appeared in good spirits in her most recent Instagram post, just a few months after her ex-husband Ben Foden announced he's returning to the UK after living in the US for the last six years.
The news was welcomed by The Saturdays singer, who earlier in March opened about her struggle with him living so far away from their two children.
'I'm excited to announce that I will be returning to the UK to take on the role of Director of Rugby at Scarborough College and Head Coach for Scarborough RFC, starting September 1st,' Ben previously announced on Instagram.
The former rugby player has been living in the US for the last six years with his wife Jackie and their daughters Farrah, four, and Olympia, 12 months.
'This is an incredible opportunity to reconnect with family and immerse myself once again in the rugby world,' he added.
'As I step into this role, my goal is to help drive the growth and development of Scarborough College's rugby program, ensuring it competes at the highest level alongside the top schools in the region.'
Una, 43, recently split from her jockey boyfriend Aidan Coleman, and shares Aoife, 12, and Tadhg, 10, with Ben.
After the news emerged of her split from Aidan, she was pictured with newly-single co-star Danny Cipriani leaving in a taxi together at the Celebrity Bear Hunt premiere afterparty.
Speaking earlier this month about Ben to OK! Magazine, Una said: 'It's unfortunate that he lives so far away. We don't have the 'every other weekend' set-up.
'I get on with Ben as best I can for the sake of the children. I want them to love him and for him to be there as much as he can for them.
'Divorce is a difficult, heartbreaking process whether you're in the public eye or not. But you move on – there's no point dwelling on the past.'
Speaking about the heartbreaking split for the first time, Una said her stint on Celebrity Bear Hunt forced her to 'dust herself off and try again' and move 'onwards and upwards'.
Una praised the Netflix show and Bear Grylls for giving her the boost to keep going amid her break-up.
When asked if she has split from Aidan, she said: 'Yes, I'm not going to talk about that – it's onwards and upwards.
'I think I'm prepared for anything coming out of this jungle experience. I feel very tough from it, and I think you have to be tough in life.
'Dust yourself off, try again and believe in yourself – all those things. That's one of the things Bear Grylls said to me.
'He gives us all a pep talk, and he said, 'The one thing I admire about you is your never give up attitude'. I would say that to everyone, just never give up.'
It comes a few months after her ex-husband Ben Foden announced he's returning to the UK after living in the US for the last six years (Ben pictured in 2018)
Una was married to rugby star Ben from 2012 until 2018 but divorced after he was unfaithful to her.
She started dating Limerick hurler David Breen later that year but had split with him by February 2020.
In his new announcement post, Ben added: 'I see this as a fantastic chance to develop as a coach, learning from my experiences while also drawing inspiration from others around me.
'The rugby scene in the northeast is filled with potential, and I truly believe we are on the cusp of something big.
'It's a privilege to be part of that journey, and I'm excited to contribute to the future of rugby in this vibrant community.
'Rugby has profoundly shaped my life, providing me with countless experiences, lessons, and memories that I will always treasure.
'While I have truly valued the time spent away from the sport, I have come to realize that nothing can replace the unique emotions, challenges, and excitement that being involved in rugby brings.
'The camaraderie, the triumphs, the setbacks, and the unwavering drive to push oneself—these are elements that are irreplaceable, and they will always hold a special place in my heart.'
He continued: 'The sport has given me so much more than I could ever express, and it remains an essential part of who I am. I
'It is for these very reasons that I am excited to return to the rugby community, this time as Director of Rugby and Head coach at Scarborough College and RFC, where I can share my passion and knowledge, and continue to be a part of the sport I love.
'Special thanks to Guy Emmett, Graeme Young, Dan Scargill and of course my rock star wife @snackyjax and family for their unwavering support and effort.'

1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story review – the troubling tale of sex with 1,057 men in 12 hours
For those of you pure of heart and internet search history, Bonnie Blue (real name: Tia Billinger) is famous for being one of the most popular and highest-earning content creators to have appeared on more-or-less porn site OnlyFans. To fulfil her ambition of earning £5m a month from subscribers she needed a USP. She found it in pursuing 'barely legal' sex – traditionally one of the most searched-for terms in porn – with the twist that instead of men searching for videos of other men having sex with teenage (or teenage-looking, depending on how many internet layers you're prepared to sift through for your purposes) girls, Billinger offered herself to young men. She had sex with them for free on condition that they gave permission for her to upload the footage to her OnlyFans account, where her subscribers pay to access her content. 'She is a marketing genius,' says one of the team she has gathered round her to help administrate her growing empire. She has, in essence, introduced an entirely new way of doing porn-business. If she were working in any other field – if she had stayed in her previous job as a finance recruiter for the NHS, perhaps – and innovated to the same extent, she would probably be hailed as an extraordinary entrepreneur. She also specialises in gang bangs, putting calls out on her social media channels for volunteers ('I'm in London, on my back, and I'd like your load'), with no shortage of willing participants. 1000 Men and Me: the Bonnie Blue Story is a documentary by Victoria Silver, who became aware of Billinger's existence through what the algorithm was serving up to Silver's 15-year-old daughter on her social media feeds. It follows Bonnie/Tia as she prepares for ('1,600 condoms, 50 balaclavas, numbing lube') and executes her most infamous endeavour – having sex with 1,000 (1,057, it turns out – 'barely legal or barely breathing … come and rearrange my insides') men in 12 hours. It proved too extreme for OnlyFans – or at least for Visa, who processes its online payments – and she has since had to move elsewhere to continue her campaign for lucrative online-world domination. Naturally, the media – online, legacy and everything in between – has had a field day with all this. They've labelled her everything from predator to victim (she denies both, saying she has no 'daddy issues', no trauma in her past and none induced by her work since). She has been accused of being a traitor ('you're giving into the patriarchy'), and has received multitudinous insults ('disgusting, deplorable slapper' is one we hear from an online commenter). Although Silver's six months in Billinger's company doesn't provide much in the way of decisive evidence or insight, it does show the star to be as steely in her approach to her career as she is Stakhanovite in her labours. When she needs to court attention, the easiest way is often to insult the wives and girlfriends of the men who watch her and come to her events. 'I just loved … knowing I was doing something their wives should have done.' She recommends bringing their partners' underwear along. 'I'll make them smell MUCH nicer'. And just remember, she confides to camera, 'that if a girl says she's on her period, there's nothing wrong with her throat.' But, Silver remains essentially unconfrontational in her approach, and no match for one as robust and unfazed by other people's opinions as Billinger. The latter claims that her career is what feminism has fought for 'for years and years'. So, if young girls are seeing her content and fearing that this is what they should be offering boys? Then it's up to their parents to teach them that it's not for everyone. The idea of a collective or social responsibility, any considerations beyond the purely individual and/or financial gain no traction. Silver rarely pushes back, even when Billinger recruits visibly nervous, deliberately young-looking female content creators for a video in a 'sex education lesson' where performers roleplay students – she asks nothing about possible harms to them or in encouraging male fantasies around girls too young to consent. The basilisk Blue stare seems to hold her in its thrall. There are only perhaps two moments that, for me, come close to revealing anything about Billinger, and even these are only a measure of – maybe – how deep the traits she has already willingly shown us run. The first is her comment: 'Everyone says my brain works different. I'm just not emotional … If I don't want to get upset, I won't get upset.' It reminds me of the statistics that show a high proportion of CEOs and the like – and what is Billinger if not her own CEO – are technically sociopaths. And the second is that when she computes the risk of being insulted in the street she says: 'At least they're getting off the sofa.' This 26-year-old woman who spurned university as unnecessary, was driving a Mercedes C-class by the age of 19, and bought a house shortly thereafter. Hard graft seems to be a high calling, laziness the only sin. Do I admire her work ethic and facility for business? Yes. Do I wish we lived in a world where the best option for realising those talents as a young woman was not through making online porn? Yes. Do I see where we go from here? Yes, I do. And Billinger will be fine. Beyond that individual? Not so much. Not so much. 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story is available on Channel 4.

Sharon Osbourne's hidden tributes to late husband Ozzy at his emotional funeral procession
Sharon Osbourne paid a touching tribute to her late husband Ozzy as she led his emotional funeral procession on Wednesday. The Black Sabbath rocker died aged 76 on July 22 and his funeral cortege travelled through his hometown of Birmingham on Wednesday. His grief-stricken wife Sharon and children Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis led the parade and stopped at Black Sabbath Bridge to an outpouring of love from the crowd. Sharon, 72, paid a subtle tribute to her late husband during the ceremony as she wore Ozzy's ring around her neck. She was seen wearing the recognisable gold ring featuring a row of diamonds around her neck on a chain. The distinctive piece of jewellery is believed to be Ozzy's wedding band, and he has been seen wearing it on his ring finger in recent years. According to reports, Ozzy has been wearing the ring since their 2017 vow renewal - which took place 35 years after they originally tied the knot. During the funeral, Sharon also held her hands up and gave a double peace sign - a gesture which has become synonymous with the metal star. Ozzy previously explained the significance behind the gesture, telling Rolling Stone in 2002: 'We were the last hippie band. We were into peace.' Sharon wasn't the only member of the Osbourne clan to subtly pay tribute to Ozzy as his kids also all wore heartfelt items which directly referenced their beloved father. Ozzy's son Louis - from his first marriage to Thelma Riley - wore a purple tie featuring a skull and crossbones in a nod to his father's own rock n' roll style. Kelly, 40, also remembered her father by wearing his iconic sunglasses, with the Prince of Darkness becoming synonymous with round shades over the years. In another poignant clothing choice, Jack, 39, also wore a small silver cross pin on the end of his tie - a reference to Ozzy's signature pendant. Lastly, Aimee, 41, also pinned a bat brooch to her blazer as she joined her family in paying reference to Ozzy's iconic career. One of Ozzy's most famous moments was when he bit the head off a bat live on stage, with the metal star even performing on a bat throne at his farewell show at Villa Park just weeks before his death. Huge crowds descended on Birmingham on Wednesday to pay tribute to the beloved Prince of Darkness at his funeral procession. The funeral cortege was led by a live brass band, Bostin' Brass, who performed versions of Black Sabbath songs such as Iron Man, as thousands of tearful devotees lined the streets and sang along in Ozzy's memory. The hearse carrying the singer's coffin - adorned with purple flowers spelling out 'Ozzy' - passed the star's childhood home in Lodge Road, Aston, shortly after midday. Flowers had been placed outside the terraced property, close to Villa Park, while the owners of the house put up a picture of Osbourne in the front bay window. Sharon led the procession with her children Jack, Aimee and Kelly and Ozzy's son Louis from his first marriage as they comforted each other amid their devastating grief. Thousands of people were pictured taking their places not only on Black Sabbath Bridge but along the city centre route along which his cortege travelled towards the Black Sabbath Bridge bench. Fans clapped and cheered chanting 'Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy' as the rock legend's hearse passed through the streets of Birmingham as Sharon watched on and brushed away tears. Describing Ozzy as a 'working class hero' who loved his city, the Lord Mayor of Birmingham said: 'I got to know him in the last few weeks when we gave him the freedom of the city and he was just so humble, so down to earth. He was a working class hero. 'I couldn't tell he was a rock star, he was just an ordinary guy, so caring. He had working class roots and his loved his fans, he loved his city, he always promoted Birmingham wherever he went, he was proud to have been born in Aston. 'His slogan was "Birmingham Forever" and that makes me such a proud citizen. It was a last hurrah for him today.' Ozzy and his Black Sabbath bandmates - Terence 'Geezer' Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward - were recently given the freedom of the city of Birmingham, which recognises people's exceptional service to the city. Ozzy is survived by his wife Sharon and his five children Jessica, Louis, Aimee, Kelly and Jack. In a statement shared last Tuesday, Ozzy's family said he died 'surrounded by love', adding: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.' Ozzy took to the stage for his farewell concert at Villa Park stadium in his native Birmingham less than three weeks before his death - reuniting with his original Black Sabbath bandmates for the first time since 2005. More than 42,000 fans packed into the venue for the Back To The Beginning show, during which he told the crowd in his final speech: 'You've no idea how I feel - thank you from the bottom of my heart.' Fans clapped and cheered chanting 'Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy' as the rock legend's hearse passed through the streets of Birmingham as Sharon watched on and brushed away tears A message on screen then read: 'Thank you for everything, you guys are f***ing amazing. Birmingham Forever,' before the sky lit up with fireworks. He had told of it being his last performance due to his health, having opened up about his battle with Parkinson's in 2020. The musician had undergone seven surgeries in the past five years, including a fourth spinal operation in 2023, and had been battling Parkinson's disease since 2003. Before his final show, Ozzy said he hoped to continue recording music after retiring from live performing, but he heartbreakingly died before he was able to do so. Ozzy's last solo album, 2022's Patient Number 9, featured a long list of guest artists, including hid Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Zakk Wylde, and Pearl Jam's Mike McCready, among others.

King Charles 'is launching a Tweed jacket... for DOGS'
King Charles is said to be launching his own range of tweed jackets - for dogs - months after he and Camilla adopted their own pooches. The jackets, costing almost £50, have been made exclusively for the shop at his Sandringham estate in Norfolk. The monarch, 76, has been wearing a tweed jacket for decades and is now selling a special version created for man's best friend. Handmade in the UK, the coats are fashioned from Sandringham Royal Tweed with a brown collar and belt and said to be 'water layer resistant'. They come in small, medium and large, with prices ranging from £39.99 to £49.99, The Sun reports. The King and Queen's two dogs - Snuff and Moley - will be able to dress just like Charles as the coats hit the shelves. A notice in the shop reads: 'Sandringham's loyal and trusted doggy visitors to the Royal parkland have been the inspiration for this collection. 'Pooches in the parkland can now look effortlessly stylish whilst enjoying a walk, wearing an elegant coat made in Sandringham Royal Tweed.' Camilla, 77, adopted the Jack Russell-cross named Moley from Battersea Dogs' and Cats', months after she was heartbroken to lose her beloved Jack Russell Beth. While, Charles was given a Lagotto Romagnolo puppy - called Snuff - as a gift earlier this year, and he is reportedly 'besotted' with the new addition. Snuff, whose breed is a truffle- hunting dog from Italy, is King Charles' first dog in around two decades. The King previously had a Jack Russell called Tigga who he adopted shortly after starting a family with Princess Diana. However, the pup died in 2002 aged 18. The source said: 'Charles is besotted with his puppy. 'He hasn't had one since Tigga. The breed is a truffle-hunter. 'Charles enjoys mushroom foraging, so they have a lot in common.' Camilla spoke about adopting a new puppy in February from the world-famous Battersea Dogs and Cats home, where she adopted her dogs Beth and Bluebell in 2011 and 2012 respectively. Her Majesty adopted Beth from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, in South London, in 2011 and fellow Jack Russell terrier Bluebell joined the family the following year. Pictured: Queen Camilla picking up her nine-week-old Jack Russell terrier rescue Bluebell, with Beth, in December 2012 She said: 'I've just got a new puppy, he's eight weeks old. 'It's a rescue dog called Moley. It looks just like a mole.' Her Majesty was left heartbroken when Beth, a Jack Russell Terrier, died last November. When the King attended the Royal Variety Performance weeks later, he told TV presenter Amanda Holden - who is an ambassador for the world-famous animal rescue centre in London - that they planned to get a new dog.
