Millie Mackintosh strips down to tiny bikini for birthday selfie as she celebrates on family holiday
The 36-year-old former Made In Chelsea star has been enjoying the sun with her loved ones over the last couple of days.
Taking to her Instagram on Sunday, Millie showed off her incredible physique in the mirror as she flaunted her toned abs.
Millie posed in the cream two-piece, wearing a fedora hat and carrying her wicker bag in one hand with her phone in the other.
She announced it is now officially Leo season in a photo dump on her socials, sharing snippets from their trip, although she hasn't shared the location.
'Vacation mode,' she wrote alongside the photo.
The doting mum-of-two, who is married to Hugo Taylor, enjoyed a quiet meal with her loved ones on the beach.
She was joined by her daughters Sienna and Aurelia as they sang happy birthday and watched their mum blow out candles.
Millie wrote: 'It's Leo season. And just like that another 365 days older, wiser, and ready for what the universe has in store for me. Thank you for all the birthday love.'
In recent days, Millie opened up about her dog helps keep her sober after she spent years battling alcohol issues.
She spoke openly about her issues with alcohol before going sober in 2022, and has since released a book about her struggles, entitled Bad Drunk.
And now in an interview with the Sunday Times, she has explained how owning her pug, Luna, as given her an additional focus.
She said: 'When you have a dog you're not waking up with a hangover, you're waking up and going for a walk along the river or meeting up with other dog owners.
'Having Luna helps me talk to people; I can be quite socially awkward. And I find when you've got a dog and another person's got a dog, you just have something to talk about.'
Millie, who is married to former Made In Chelsea co-star Hugo Taylor and is a mother to two daughters, admitted she 'barely recognises the person she used to be' as she shared a 'drunken' throwback snap in a candid Instagram post.
She went sober more than two years ago following the realisation that she had become an 'angry' drunk.
As an MIC original, Millie's early scenes on the show often revolved around partying and drinking leading to flare-ups with fellow cast members which she has since claimed got in the way of her relationships.
Continuing to raise awareness of sobriety and how much her life has changed for the good since going alcohol free, Millie wrote: 'Now vs. Then.
'Looking back ten years, I barely recognise the person I used to be—drinking heavily, always hungover, and completely lost.
'I was stuck in a cycle of self-medicating, not realising that the change I so badly needed was waiting for me on the other side of discomfort.
'Choosing an alcohol-free life has been the best decision I've ever made. It's the ultimate life hack—realising that I have the power to say no.
'Not because I have to, but because I get to. Sobriety isn't a sacrifice; it's a privilege, a gift I've given to myself, and one I'll never take for granted.
'The journey from bad drunk to alcohol-free has been the most transformative thing I've ever done. And hearing from so many of you who are on this path too means so much.
'Your messages about my book and your own experiences remind me why this conversation is so important.
'If you're navigating this too, know that you're not alone—we're in this together. How are you feeling about your own journey right now? Let's chat. ✨'
Millie decided to go and see a sober coach, who helped her and has now steered clear of booze for more than two years.

Jessica Alba shows off her chiseled abs in a black sports bra after passionately kissing new boyfriend
Jessica Alba showcased her chiseled abs in stylish fitness attire just two days after she was spotted in a steamy kiss with her new boyfriend Danny Ramirez. The 44-year-old Honey actress — who filed for divorce from her husband of nearly 17 years Cash Warren in February — has recently moved on with the hunky Top Gun: Maverick actor, who is 11 years her junior. In a new Instagram carousel shared on Sunday, the mom-of-three enjoyed a stroll along the beach and took her fans along with her. Jessica posed for a quick snap on a dirt path as the sandy shore and blue ocean water stretched out behind her. The beauty flaunted her toned figure wearing a black sports bra with a white trim as well as a pair of fitted, black leggings. She additionally slipped into a pair of white socks and black sneakers to stay comfortable during the outing. The Hollywood star completed her ensemble for the day by adding a black cap on top of her head that had 'LA' printed in white lettering on the front. The Fantastic Four actress also sported a pair of fashionable black shades to protect her eyes from the bright sunshine. Jessica also snapped a selfie as she flashed a peace sign towards the camera and gave another view of the beach down below. She uploaded a clip that showed a closer look at some of the morning workout as she was joined by a pal, which also included walking up a number of stairs and a light jog. The beauty later fueled up with a refreshing iced green drink and a bowl that was topped with chopped nuts and fruit. Lastly, Jessica took a picture of a colorful butterfly that was resting on a green leaf of a shady tree. In the caption of the latest post, the star simply penned to her 21 million followers, 'Sunday reset.' Jessica has previously opened up about incorporating a fitness regime into her daily life during an interview with E! News last year. 'I get bored,' she admitted when it comes to the gym. 'So I do spinning and I do cross training with a mix of weights and cardio. I just try to keep it moving.' The star also added, 'I try to recruit my friends to come with me. It's just more fun if you go with someone.' Her new Instagram post comes just two days after Jessica was seen passionately kissing her new boyfriend Danny Ramirez in LA on Saturday. In photos obtained by the couple were seen embracing and sharing a kiss outside on a quiet street. Danny sweetly draped his arms over her shoulders during the romantic moment and readjusted her cap on top of her head which caused her to flash a smile. The actor was later seen receiving a large flower delivery and the pair began to walk back towards his house together. Earlier this week on Wednesday, the pair were spotted enjoying date night at an Italian restaurant called Alba. Jessica and Danny were seen outside of the eatery, with the actor driving a vehicle and the beauty next to him in the passenger seat. The two stars held smiles on their faces during the lowkey night out together. Also in July, the pair were spotted vacationing in Cancun - which came after she was seen kissing a mystery man in London, although it is not confirmed whether that had also been Danny. A source told this week that the pair's budding romance has now taken a 'surprising turn.' 'Jessica's romance with Danny has taken a surprising turn. What started out as a summer fling feels like it's getting more serious, although she still wants to take things slow.' The insider added, 'But at the end of the day Jessica has never been one to play the field. She's excited to see where this romance is headed.' A separate source also recently told that the Top Gun: Maverick actor is 'enamored' with the actress, but she isn't in the 'frame of mind' to be in a relationship that is exclusive. 'Danny is cool, a nice guy and he is enamored with her, but it is not exclusive. She's not in that frame of mind.' The insider added, 'He has a chance to make something out of their connection, but she is taking it all in stride. Right now, she's looking to just have fun.' Jessica's new romance comes months after she filed for divorce from Cash Warren after nearly 17 years of marriage in February. She had cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reasoning behind their separation, with Cash soon filing afterwards. During the course of their marriage, the former couple welcomed three children: Honor, 17, Haven, 13, and Hayes, seven - and both requested for joint physical and legal custody of their kids at the time of the divorce filing. Eight months before it was revealed that Jessica and Cash were 'set for divorce,' the Hollywood star uploaded her final anniversary post to celebrate 16 years of marriage. Speculation first arose that the former couple may have hit a rocky patch in their relationship when she was spotted on public outings without her wedding ring. Jessica also seemingly confirmed she was single in a post to celebrate New Year's, but then reunited with Cash to celebrate their son's birthday at Universal Studios. They first crossed paths on set of the 2004 film, Fantastic Four, and they later said 'I do' in 2008. And in January, the actress took to Instagram to announce the end of her marriage to Cash with a message to her followers. 'I've been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years - both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,' she wrote. 'I'm proud of how we've grown in our marriage over the last 20 years and it's now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals. Jessica added, 'We are moving forward with love, kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time.'

Maya Jama has shared some loved-up snaps with footballer boyfriend Ruben Dias as she continues to enjoy balancing 'work and play'. The Love Island host, 30, found the time to post on Instagram between her busy schedule as she spends time between Mallorca and London. She posted a carousel dump from the last week which involved behind-the-scenes of filming and enjoying a holiday with the Man City player and their pals. In a post, she told fans: 'Work & play balancing [sparkle emoji].' In the slew of snaps, Maya looked incredible in a body-hugging dress, where she stood outside of the Love Island villa. She was later seen dancing away with her boyfriend as they watched the sunset on a boat trip together. The new couple cuddled and posed for a selfie where they looked happier than ever. When she wasn't booked and busy filming, the TV star enjoyed relaxing in the pool, sharing images of her in the water. She also switched off with some yoga in the mornings, with a stunning sea view from her room. Maya made sure to include some sexy bikini pics too, showing off her incredible curves. The couple recently enjoyed a holiday to Ibiza where they packed on the PDA. The presenter captioned the post: 'La isla de la magia' which translates to 'The Magic Island' and smitten Ruben quickly commented with a love heart emoji. Maya has been dating Ruben for several months and recently confirmed their romance on social media.
