Vicky Pattison's 'Bond girl' tummy-control swimsuit has a hidden meaningful detail
After taking part in the amazing Coppafeel trek across Iceland last month, Vicky Pattison opted to spend a few more days resting and relaxing in Reykjavik before heading home. During her trip she shared plenty of pics, with one in particular catching the attention of fans.
Posing in one of the country's famous lagoons, one fan commented 'Bond girl vibes' on the snap of her emerging from the water, whilst others asked for details of her swimwear. Thankfully for those looking to create their own Bond girl moment, we've tracked down Vicky's exact swimsuit and it's still available in all sizes.
In the photo, Vicky was wearing Next's Zipped Shaping Tummy Control Swimsuit, which you can still pick up for £40 in sizes six to 24. The swimsuit has tummy control mesh which helps to sculpt and support your body, with high cut legs and scoop neckline for a flattering fit.
The non-wired design has fully removable pads in the chest, but this hasn't just been done for a case of personal preference or easy washing. The internal chest pockets are extra wide to allow those who've had a mastectomy to insert their own prosthesis if they prefer, or adjust the cups to fit the shape that feels most comfortable for them.
Considering Vicky's Coppafeel trek was to raise money and support for those struggling with breast cancer, it was the perfect choice of swimsuit for the occasion. Of course Next isn't the only place you can pick up swimsuits with these design features in mind.
At Marks & Spencer, the Post surgery Tummy Control Belted Swimsuit is £35 and features both a tummy control panel and non-wired padded cups for added comfort. The dual pockets are also specially built-in to allow your prosthesis room, with added stretch to keep everything feeling secure.
At Land's End, the Grecian V-neck Slender Swimsuit, £85, also features a soft cup bra with prosthesis pockets and is made from a high-compression material to hold everything in place and make you feel comfortable. If you want a little less compression, it's worth sizing up.
However Vicky's Zipped Shaping Tummy Control Swimsuit from Next is also available in a choice of three different colours. Her ecru version, which features black piping around the edges and a contrasting black zipper, was perfect for nailing the Bond girl vibe.
You can also pick it up in other colours, including khaki green with black trim and zip details, or bright pink with bold red piping and zip for a more colourful, playful look. Shoppers have also praised it, with one saying: 'Good design and nice colour. I ordered a size bigger than usual as there was a note on the description to say this is a smaller fit than usual. I didn't find that to be the case and so returned it for the next size down- which is fine!'
Another added: 'I love the colour and style. Didn't realise it was 'tummy control', feels pretty normal to me. The pads in cups move around which is annoying, I suppose that's in case you want to take them out but as a result they need rearranging after wearing / rinsing etc Good cut, good fit, nice style. Am pleased with it and it was a reasonable price so overall would recommend.'
There's only one review not giving it a full five stars, which simply says: 'Is a nice swimsuit.'

M&S's £10 perfumes are back with two new scents being called ‘summer in a bottle'
Marks & Spencer's scents are somewhat hidden gems in the fragrance world, often compared to pricier perfumes, and the high street store's latest launches are perfect for summer Finding affordable – and high quality – perfumes isn't always an easy task, but beauty fans have something of an industry secret that ticks both of these boxes: M&S's own-brand fragrances. Marks & Spencer's Discover range of scents has been quietly impressing fragrance snobs for a few years now, going viral on social media and often selling out due to their excellent price (100ml bottles are £10) and lust-worthy scents that are regularly compared to pricier designer offerings. Now the high street hero has just dropped two new Discover eau de toilettes that are perfect for summer – and you're going to want to snap them up before they're gone. New to M&S stores and online are Garden Party Eau de Toilette and Summer Blooms Eau de Toilette, both priced at £10 for generous 100ml bottles. Inspired by sun-soaked evenings outside with loved ones, Garden Party describes how 'a shimmering blend of melon, red berry and marine notes opens the fragrance with a refreshing burst, gently settling into a heart of ylang ylang, lily, and intoxicating gardenia'. Garden Party's base notes are vanilla, meringue, patchouli and soft musk, evoking 'the golden glow of twilight and the sweetness of summer air'. Summer Blooms, meanwhile, is a warmer, more tropical concoction of dewberry, coconut and orange with heart notes of magnolia and jasmine. The base is one of creamy coconut, musk and patchouli, which M&S says, creates a 'lingering, sun-kissed finish' that's 'summer, bottled'. There's something for all fragrance tastes to be found in the M&S beauty aisles though, from Discover's trending Sweet Pistachio to cosy Spiced Wood – and all £10. After another fragrance bargain? Sol de Janeiro has launched what's being touted as its 'best yet' perfume, which perfume lovers are saying is the ideal scent for this week's heatwave – and there's a savvy way to snap it up for less. The latest fragrance, Sundays in Rio, usually priced at £24, is a fresh addition to the popular brand's range. The fragrance opens with notes of pink pepper, pear and ambrette absolute, then unfolds into a heart of cosy vanilla, orris concrete (which imparts violet-like notes) and 'Champaca pure jungle essence' – a powdery white floral with rich honeyed undertones. Its base is built on amber musk and woody upcycled orcanox. However, TopCashback members can bag the new aroma at a wallet-friendly £8 after cashback for newcomers to Sephora, and £8.60 after cashback for existing Sephora shoppers.

Cristiano Ronaldo fans worry for fiancee's shoulder with 'comically big' ring
Cristiano Ronaldo is officially engaged to Georgina Rodríguez – and almost certain to spend the rest of his days with her as there's no conceivable way he can break free from the sheer gravitational pull of the rock he's put on her finger. If NASA ever needs a new orbital anchor, they now know where to look. Georgina broke the news on Instagram with a romantic snapshot of the couple holding hands in bed, with her left ring finger sporting the diamond. It's hard to tell if there are actually hands in the picture because the view is mostly obstructed by a diamond so massive it may have its own weather system and possibly a small, uncontacted tribe living on the far side. The 31-year-old captioned her post: 'Yes I do. In this and all my lives.' Which is fitting, because that's exactly the sort of ring an emperor would be buried with to ensure they took it with them in their next reincarnation. Visitors to the Ronaldo household ought to be weary of Indiana Jones-style booby traps. Ronaldo, 40, first met Georgina in 2016, and popped the question two years after Saudi authorities politely pretended not to notice the couple shacking up without a marriage certificate, which is illegal in the country. Perhaps Ronaldo figured now was the perfect time to propose to the mother of his five children (she is the biological mother of two of them): he's older, wiser, and presumably has an accountant who finally signed off on the insurance premiums for that thing. The ring itself is an oval-cut diamond flanked by a three-stone platinum design, as if the main gem – roughly the size of a Ring Pop candy – requires two smaller, deeply anxious bodyguards on either side. And they're going to need backup. Experts estimate the central stone is between 25 and 30 carats, worth up to $10million (£7.4m). One jeweller told Elle the double-claw setting 'keeps it secure,' which is important as you wouldn't want it rolling off the nightstand and flattening a nearby village. Naturally, the internet has questions: Did Ronaldo have to remortgage one of his superyachts? Was the diamond ethically sourced, or pried loose from a Bond villain's volcano lair while ominous music played? Will Georgina need physiotherapy to lift her left hand without tearing her rotator cuff? One X user, @bettingkingz9, joked: 'It's the iceberg from the Titanic!' Harsh, but fair – though in this case, Leonardo DiCaprio wouldn't have frozen to death; he'd have been blinded instantly and staggered into the sea. Another, @cotina23, wrote: 'That thing definitely has the soul of a vengeful demon inside,' while @br0046 simply chimed in: 'She's going to have shoulder problems lugging that around.' Facebook users had similar sentiments, with Rosie Vasquez commenting: 'That ring is comically large.' Karen King said what we're all thinking: 'I'd be struggling to lift my hand with that massive rock on my finger.' Paul Devlin compared it to the infinity ring in Avengers: 'Thanos gonna be calling to get that back!' More Trending One Reddit user wrote: 'Thoughtful, it's an engagement ring and a weapon.' Rumours of an engagement began swirling when Georgina was spotted flashing an unusually bright diamond in public. The couple played coy at first, with Ronaldo previously explaining the timing wasn't 'quite right' – despite the couple sharing multiple children and nearly a decade of dating. Regardless of your thoughts on the ring, love is now officially in the air – along with the blinding glare of a diamond visible from three continents. View More » If you're unsure whether you've spotted it, just look for the sudden loss of mobile signal caused by its atmosphere. Or follow the faint sound of sirens as sunlight bounces off them and ignites nearby trees. Got a story?

I trekked to Cornwall's viral beach to see if influencers have ruined it
Outside the First and Last Inn, a jolly July day turns an angry grey. 'You know we've got some weather coming in don't you?' a concerned-looking Claire Dallaway, landlady of mainland Britain's most westerly pub, tells me. She shows me the violent bands of purple sweeping across Land's End on her phone's weather app. It's due to make landfall in three hours. Good old British summertime. I knew about the weather, of course. I also have a phone. In fact, in a round about sort of way, it's because of my little distraction machine that I'm here. I've come to Cornwall to trek to Nanjizal Bay, a secluded beach that's gone viral. 'TikTok beach,' Dallaway calls it. I've come to find out if it's worth the schlep – and see whether social media has ruined it, like it ruins everything. Racing the rain Mindful of the incoming deluge, I skip a hot meal at the pub and instead buy a 'shrinkflation' Snickers and a pack of peanuts to take with me. I tell the girl serving me where I'm heading. 'I haven't been there since I was 10,' she says, looking double that. Dallaway sends me off with directions: follow the main road out of Sennen, hang a left at the bottom of the hill, cross what looks like someone's front garden, hop over a stile, cut through a farm, over the heath and towards the sea. 'You can't miss it,' she says. I heed her directions and soon find myself following a dry-stone wall, beyond which glum-looking campers erect tents in the hastening breeze. They make me feel better about walking into a storm without waterproofs. Tonight I'll be sleeping under Egyptian cotton and a slate roof, while they're flapping around in a gale. I walk on with a spring in my step, cracking into the peanuts which are gone by the time I reach the stile. A well-worn path takes me across cow-pat strewn pastures and into a ploughed field. It's barren, pillaged land and I hear no birdsong until I reach the heath, where bullfinches twitter and a lone swallow flirts with a kestrel as it rides the breeze before nosediving to kill lunch. Nanjizal Bay and a looming wall of dark cloud come into view. The beach looks nothing like the Seychelles-esque pictures I saw online. There's barely any sand to be seen, just choppy waters breaking on the shore and breaking on large, algae-covered rocks. 'This is the most boring beach ever,' shouts 11-year-old Owen Passmore, stomping past me and away from Nanjizal. 'He's just hungry – I only brought two snacks,' says his mother Kirsty, who lives locally and shrugs off Nanjizal's 'best beach in England' label. It's not even the best beach locally, she reckons. That'll be Porthgwarra. 'It's a proper swimming beach,' she adds, before rushing off after her boy. Going viral Far from being overrun with TikTokers, the bay is deserted, save for a man and his dog, and two 30-something hikers scrambling over some rocks. The money-shot selfie that everyone wants at Nanjizal is of them swimming through the Song of the Sea, a narrow, rock-strewn cave pool that cuts through the cliffs to the left of the beach and out to sea. That or them walking across the white sand when the tide is out. 'I don't like the look of it,' says one of the hikers out on the rocks. His partner nods in agreement as she surveys the foamy water below. I look at their sensible hiking boots, the waterproof jackets zipped up to their chins, the earnest looks on their faces, and decide that I'm going in. Where exactly, to be confirmed. @ventureuk By far the best beach we've come across in Cornwall 😳🏝 #traveluk #explore #fypシ #summer #ukhiddengems #placestovisit #roadtrip #cornwall #ukbeach ♬ Ophelia - The Lumineers The hikers scramble back to the path, leaving me alone on the rocks. Seeking reassurance, I pull out my phone to check the tide times but there's no reception. I berate myself for trusting the internet over instinct and start reading the sea. I realise that the waters are retreating. I will not be smashed onto rocks by the surf. I start fretting about visual content. If you don't have a picture, did it happen? I need a selfie befitting the setting. And then I remember the viral Instagram post of Mia Zelu in the stands at Wimbledon. It got 40,000 likes but turned out to be an AI deepfake, the kind of bot-generated sludge that's flooding the internet. She never went there, the influencer herself doesn't even exist. I make a note to ask my mate Dan to instruct AI to fake a picture of me at Nanjizal later, for a laugh. What a time to be alive. Feeling the breeze pick up, I plunge naked into the water, letting nature's icy grip shake some sense into me, and remind me of what's real. Surging with serotonin, I swim through the cave, looking up at its vertiginous walls which plummet into the pellucid waters around me. Nature humbles. And I'm alone with it. Looking out of the cave at the other end is like peering through a giant crack in a wooden door. Through the gap I see waves crashing on the rocks, storm clouds barreling towards me. I swim back to my stuff and haul myself out of the water. Sodden but high on nature, I skip back to the pub, cockily taking the scenic route along the South West Coast Path, which takes me via Land's End and its jarring exit-through-the-gift-shop naffness. The heavens open as the First and Last Inn comes into view. I sprint up the road and burst into the pub. Dallaway is where I left her and welcomes me back with a smile. 'You made it,' she says.
