As showers intersperse on this June Bank holiday at home here in Ireland, a host of sports-stars, models and influencers have jetted off to sunny Spain to, what is commonly known in social media parlance, 'live their best lives.'

Pic: Claudine Keane/Instagram Making the most of their mother-daughter time, Claudine and mum Joan posted a series of lookie-likey snaps, as they sipped fine Spanish wine and sampled some of Majorca's freshest seafood. While Claudine and Joan were relaxing and chatting, Irish soccer star Robbie found some like-minded sportstars to shoot the summer breeze with. Soccer mad Robbie bumped into a group of Irish rugby stars who also happened to have headed to Marbella for some summer fun. Pic: Instagram Football boss Robbie managed to inveigle his way into a rugby group shoot and he posed for a snap with the likes of Johnny Sexton and sports PR guru Damo O'Donoghue ,with the lads all looking like they were enjoying some boys time-out.
