Becky Hill strips off into a bikini as she parties in Lake Como on wild hen-do
19
Crazy What Love Can Do singer Becky was spotted partying with eleven of her closest friends at the Filario Hotel.
Becky, 31, will marry her longtime boyfriend Charlie Gardner later this summer.
Her pals had organised a day of activities, with three-time Brit Award winner Becky looking happy and relaxed as she arrived on the shore in a white skirt and gingham top.
She stripped down to a black bikini to get in the water with her hens and was seen messing around with inflatables as she soaked up the sun.
Becky also had a go at kayaking with her pals before they called her back onto the shore to give her a special present.

An onlooker said: 'Becky was having an absolute ball.
'She had a lovely group of women with her and they spent the entire time in the water laughing and joking.
'On the beach they gave Becky what looked like a memory book which they'd all written messages in.
'Becky started welling up when she was reading the messages and was wiping away tears from her eyes.
'It was clear her mates had put a lot of thought and effort into the book and Becky seemed so touched.
'They weren't the rowdy hens you might expect, they were just having a good time and splashing around in the water.
'It was great to see Becky out and having fun like other brides-to-be.'
As well as visiting Lake Como, Becky took her hens on a night out to watch her perform at a venue close by last Friday night.

Her close pal, singer Gareth Gates, was also spotted hanging out with her pals.
Becky and Charlie's wedding will take place later this year.
She was forced to postpone her nuptials by a year after her hectic schedule meant she was too busy to walk down the aisle in 2024.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Becky said last June: 'I was planning to get married this year but it is just too crazy.
'I have turned 30, I am releasing an album and I have an arena tour.
'I am going to America in October.
'My partner offered to organise the wedding but I want to be involved in the process, so we have decided to push it back a year.
'He wasn't too happy but it is the right thing to do.
'I didn't want it to be really stressful.
'I know all weddings are stressful but I really wanted to make sure we enjoyed the planning and did it together.'
Becky and Charlie announced their engagement in January 2022 after he popped the question in the Maldives.
On her album ballad Man Of My Dreams, which came out last year, Becky gushed over finding The One in Charlie.
Becky said: 'My partner used to be a trance DJ and is now a festival booker.
'He has helped not only with the inspiration for me to write the album but also then bringing the album to life.
'One of the things that attracted me to him was my Spotify playlist.
'I had all the big dance bangers from the Noughties and all the tunes he used to play.'
Becky wrote all 15 tracks on the new record but says she feared taking time out to travel the world after her second album left her worrying if she had lost her touch.
She said: 'I wondered if I could still write music.
'When you tour and play festivals for so long you think 'can I still do this?''

Joey Essex targets future fights with Jake Paul and Tommy Fury ahead of boxing debut
Reality TV star Joey Essex is targeting the biggest names in crossover boxing as he prepares to make his boxing debut on Misfits 22 in Manchester on August 30. Essex will take on Portuguese influencer Numeiro, but said that he has one eye on the likes of Jake Paul, Tommy Fury and KSI for the future. Essex told Sky Sports: "You've got Jake Paul, who's the golden boy. There are a few others. You've got the likes of KSI, you've got Tommy Fury. It depends how far this goes. "I'm going to get the 30th out of the way and then we'll see from there. I've got a big name myself. Joey Essex vs Jake Paul, Joey Essex vs KSI, Joey Essex vs Tommy Fury, it makes sense. But I have to get there first.' Jake Paul has become boxing's biggest disruptor and has recently taken on Mike Tyson and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr since Tommy Fury defeated him on points in 2023. Love Island graduate Fury only recently returned from injury and mental health struggles after beating Paul and KSI in 2023 to claim a lacklustre win in Budapest. Essex admitted that it was premature to try to align himself with those big names right now based on his current ability, but believes he holds enough name value to be an attractive proposition. Essex said: "That doesn't make sense right now. The names make sense, but the fight doesn't make sense right now because no one really knows how good I am. I couldn't even tell you how good I am. But on August 30, we'll all know how good I am." The 35-year-old comes from a fighting family, with his dad having boxed and his uncle being the famous trainer Tony Sims. It seemed perfectly set up for Essex to become a boxer, but he instead chose to pursue TV opportunities. He has appeared on The Only Way is Essex, I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and Love Island. But since agreeing to appear on the Misfits card, he has employed the services of his uncle to prepare him for this fight. Sims is a world-class trainer and has overseen the development of big-name fighters such as Anthony Joshua, Joe Cordina and Conor Benn. For this reason, Essex said that he had to prove to his uncle that he was serious about fighting before entering his gym. Essex explained: "Tony is so serious about what he does. He hasn't got time to mess around. He said to me, 'If you're going to take it seriously, I'll train you.' "I feel like I have proved to him that I'm doing what it takes. He wouldn't just take on any Misfits boxer. The only reason he's taken on me is because we are family. He obviously fully believes I'll put the effort in." A DAZN subscription provides access to over 185 fights a year across a range of combat sports from the world's best promoters.
