Samie Elishi shows off her jaw-dropping figure in a black bikini as she enjoys a boozy boat day during a sun-soaked holiday after that steamy Sam Thompson kiss
Samie Elishi sent temperatures soaring in a skimpy black bikini as she posed for sizzling Instagram snaps on Sunday during a boozy boat day on holiday.
The Love Island star, 25, looked incredible in the two-piece which boasted a triangle top and matching bottoms as she worked on her glowing bronze tan.
Samie added a stylish white and black striped crochet shirt over the swimwear as she soaked up the sun while out at sea on the boat.
The reality star, whose location is unknown, shielded from the sun behind a pair of sunglasses and kept cool by sipping on a bottle of Corona.
Letting the wind blow in her long brunette tresses, she later slipped into a pair of white shorts as she drove the boat and penned, 'drinking on the job'.

The sun-soaked getaway comes weeks after Samie was pictured sharing a steamy kiss with presenter Sam Thompson.
Samie has since broke her silence on her new romance with Sam, after the couple attended the swanky celebration held at Bacchanalia in London's Mayfair where they confirmed the romance by packing on the PDA outside the venue.
Samie about the blossoming relationship for the first time during an appearance on the podcast Chloe Mediumship.
The show is hosted by a psychic medium and in the episode, Samie revealed how she's previously had negative gut feelings in past relationships.
She explained: 'I've had gut feelings with guys before. I've had a couple of relationships where I've known it was never it. Like this is gonna come to an end, I'll have something telling me every day it's coming to an end, this isn't for you.
'You put it to the back of your mind and then you start noticing the chaos increase. It's like the universe saying I'm gonna blow you both up if you just do not seperate. Then I'm like if I only I listened all those months ago when I got that first message.'
Then, host Chloe asked: 'Obviously, you don't have to talk about it too much but the guy you're currently speaking to, do you have that gut feeling? Like do you think it's gonna be really good?'
Keeping her cards close to her chest, the former Love Islander replied: 'There's been no bad stuff at the minute so yeah I suppose it is all positive right now. It's early days.'
Sam first met Samie, who appeared on Love Island in 2023 and returned to the All Stars series this year, through his presenting role on spinoff, Aftersun.
But following his breakup from Zara McDermott, the pair started exchanging flirty messages over Instagram before hitting it off in person.
A source told MailOnline: 'Sam and Samie are really getting along and if early signs are anything to go by, this could turn into a long-term relationship. It may be early days still, but they do really like each other.
'Sam is already introducing Samie to Chelsea by showing her off on the King's Road over the Easter weekend and given how popular he is in the area, it meant a lot that he wasn't hiding her away.'
Sam and his ex-girlfriend Zara split in January, with Zara quickly moving on with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson.
On his Staying Relevant podcast with Pete Wicks, Sam also revealed he's gone on his first date since his split from Zara, after he reportedly spent a romantic Easter weekend with Samie.
Hinting towards his heartbreak over Zara, he said he'd gone through a 'pretty tough time', but that he was finally 'comfortable in my own skin again'.
Host Chloe asked: 'Obviously, you don't have to talk about it too much but the guy you're currently speaking to, do you have that gut feeling? Do you think it's gonna be really good?'
He told Pete: 'I feel like I'm ready to get out there. I feel like I'm at a stage now where I feel confident enough that I can start approaching females.
'I feel good, things are really really nice at the moment. And I feel like I'm happy. There's no more brave faces', causing Pete to proudly declare: 'Sam's ready to date!'
Sam detailed his first dating experience since his split, admitting he'd been so nervous that Pete had had to send him a list of advice.
He explained: 'I went on a date recently. And I was so nervous that I messaged Pete. It was the sweetest thing ever, Pete basically sent me a list of what I had to do.'
'This is my first date that I've had since I've been single. I'm on my way to the date right, I've called Pete and I'm nervous and he's then messaged me afterwards going, "Don't overthink it mate just enjoy it. Just have a good time",' he went on.
'I went, "Thanks mate, do I wait for her inside or is that overthinking it?" and he went "Yep that's overthinking it exactly. Go inside, get yourself a drink and chill. Staying outside like a weirdo on the street. Text her and ask her what she'd like to drink and order hers so it's sat on the table waiting for her."
'I then replied going, "Such a good idea! Me getting advice, this is great!" He goes, "Then when she arrives say hello and all that jazz and cheers to good times and a good date."
'He then went: 'Look her in the eyes when you cheers, but not like a creep. Tell her she looks stunning. I mean you know this stuff - it's the basics". I reply going, "No I don't".'
Laughing, Pete then praised his friend, saying: 'I then get the phone call post-date and it sounds like you handled it very, very well. Very well. Are you nervous about dating again?'
Sam admitted: 'Absolutely terrified. But you know what? There's so many things that Pete gave me in that little snippet of advice.
'And I want to say, this is what you guys may not see. This is like behind the scenes, me just actually getting some advice from Pete and being nervous and stuff.
'And that's what Pete's so good at. He literally gave me a play by play of what to do. She walks in, I gave her a kiss on the cheek, I had a glass of wine waiting for her, I told her she looked lovely, I went "Here's to a great date" and we sat down and we were off at the races.'
As Pete asked: 'But I feel like you know that stuff, surely?', Sam insisted he was clueless, saying: 'No idea. Pete I was going to hug her, I was going to wait outside for her, I was going to open her cab door for her. Bit keen.'
Opening up on his nerves, saying: 'I've never been more nervous for like those kind of events. [Dating is] fun when you know she hasn't like recoiled. Like it's fun when you're like, "Oh okay actually this is going okay." That's when it becomes fun.
'The first part when she walks in... I haven't even told you that I was on the phone with producer Pippa after you had messaged me, being like "I'm nervous, I'm nervous."
'And then the lady in question walked in and I went, "Oh my God, she walked in, she looks beautiful." And she heard me say that and then I hung the phone up.'
Pete replied: 'F***ing hell. I mean I imagine she quite liked that. But still, listen Sam's in his f***ing dating era! That's why he's always dressed so well and looks so good.'

EXCLUSIVE Revealed: How Harry is the 'spare in his relationship' as the prince struggles to carve out a career for himself following the Sentebale debacle
It was widely seen as the charity perhaps closest to Harry's heart when he founded Sentebale in 2006 when the prince was just 22 years old. The charity - which helps children and teenagers tackle HIV or AIDS diagnoses - was after all named after the Sesotho word for 'forget-me-not' in reference to Princess Diana 's favourite flower and her much praised charity work during her life. But now Prince Harry finds himself no longer part of the charity he spent nearly 20 years building after he dramatically parted ways with Sentebale. The charity's chair Dr Sophie Chandauka made several damaging claims against the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, calling their brand 'toxic' and accusing Harry of 'harassment and bullying at scale' - a claim that is denied. This followed claims that Meghan Markle disrupted the Sentebale charity polo match in Spring last year when she turned up at short notice alongside tennis legend Serena Williams. The duchess had originally said she would not be attending. Speaking to MailOnline, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said that Harry's struggles to carve out a career for himself, coupled with Meghan's own 'ruthless' ambitions, have meant the prince has found himself 'the spare' in their relationship. Richard said that Meghan has ambitions to become a billionaire with her various projects including TV and investing in start-ups, but Harry lacks the same 'ruthlessness'. Dr Sophie Chandauka, the chair of Sentebale. Dr Sophie made several damaging claims against the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, calling their brand 'toxic' 'Harry is increasingly finding himself as the spare in a relationship with Meghan which undoubtedly involves mutual affection, but where their priorities differ widely.' He said that Harry's comfort zone is his charity work, and this is the direction in which he naturally finds himself leaning. 'Invictus means a lot to him, it was a joy to see him at the WellChild Awards last year. He genuinely enjoyed being with the children, it seemed as though the "old Harry" was temporarily back,' he said. However, he cautioned that the duke has made a 'large number of mistakes'. These include his 'angry and resentful half-hour interview with the BBC after he lost his court case over security and his ill-judged memoir Spare'. Richard added: 'However, though often emotional, he lacks Meghan's ruthlessness, which was so apparent in the Oprah interview.' Although The Mail On Sunday revealed in May that Prince Harry is planning to launch his own as-yet-undisclosed commercial venture in the next few months, he remains focused on his charity work. Harry is still involved heavily with the Invictus Games and the foundation that supports the tournament as well as the HALO Trust - a charity working to remove landmines, which Princess Diana was supportive of. The Duke of Sussex also launched more new projects in recent years including an eco-travel campaign through his non-profit Travalyst, aimed at encouraging sustainable travel. Harry with Sentebale in 2006. The charity - which helps children and teenagers tackle HIV or AIDS diagnoses - was named after the Sesotho word for 'forget-me-not' in reference to Princess Diana's favourite flower and her much praised charity work during her life In November 2023 he became the global ambassador for Scotty's Little Soldiers - a charity that cares for children whose parents died while serving in the armed forces. Earlier this year, Harry had his most high-profile fallout with a former charity to date when he, alongside Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, resigned from their roles as patrons of Sentebale. This followed a dispute between the charity's trustees and Dr Sophie - the charity's chair. Harry and Dr Sophie's working relationship had been in trouble for some time but it was only after the duke announced he was stepping down that an excruciating video showing Meghan Markle moving the Sentebale chief away from her husband took on new importance. It was claimed the polo event was gatecrashed by the former Suits star with Serena Williams and a Netflix crew in tow. The Duchess of Sussex seemingly forced Dr Sophie Chandauka to duck under the trophy as Harry celebrated the Royal Salute Polo Challenge in Wellington, Florida, in support of Sentebale's work. Moments before, Meghan had kissed her husband to celebrate his win – with a Netflix camera crew there to capture the moment for his TV series on polo. The footage of Meghan and Dr Sophie with Harry at the centre has been watched millions of times online in the past year but is being viewed again in a new light after Dr Sophie's bombshell interview with Sky News where she discussed the notorious clip. Speaking to Sky News' Trevor Phillips, Dr Sophie recalled the chaotic event, telling him: 'We would have been really excited had we known ahead of time [Meghan was coming], but we didn't. 'And so the choreography went badly on stage because we had too many people on stage. The international press captured this, and there was a lot of talk about the duchess and the choreography on stage and whether she should have been there and her treatment of me. 'Prince Harry asked me to issue some sort of a statement in support of the duchess, and I said I wouldn't. 'Not because I didn't care about the duchess, but because I knew what would happen if I did so, number one. And number two, because we cannot be an extension of the Sussexes.' While Harry's own career aspirations may appear rudderless at the moment, Meghan's appear more ambitious than ever with the former Suits actress reportedly hoping to become a billionaire. As for her hopes of reaching this goal, Richard said that her public image could be problematic. 'Her declining popularity in the United States is partly due to the bullying allegations which have dogged her though she strongly denies them, and partly because, as was pointed out by critics of her With Love, Meghan cookery show, she is too self-obsessed,' he explained. Speaking to MailOnline, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said that Harry's comfort zone is his charity work, and this is the direction in which he naturally finds himself leaning 'She should take advice from the infamous but pragmatic 16th century diplomat Nicolo Machiavelli who wrote 'It is not necessary that a prince (in her case a princess) be just. It is very necessary that he (she) appear to be'. 'The talent isn't there, the ambition is boundless, the self-love infinite and it shows far too obviously. The novelty has worn off, too. If you preach love but rubbish the royal family, which you married into, you might not make the fortune you seek!' Indeed, Meghan does appear to have focused much of her energy on her solo business projects in recent years. In March 2024, she soft-launched American Riviera Orchard before changing the company's name to As Ever. Announcing the new venture, Meghan said: 'This new chapter is an extension of what has always been my love language, beautifully weaving together everything I cherish - food, gardening, entertaining, thoughtful living, and finding joy in the everyday.' The food products sold by the brand include an assortment of teas, edible flower sprinkles and a £20 jar of honey. Meghan has also invested in a number of companies including the vegan coffee brand Clevr Blends and haircare line Highbrow Hippie. She has also invested in asset manager Ethic, which focuses on sustainable investments. Harry and Meghan signed a lucrative £18million deal with Spotify in 2020. However, despite appearing to be a joint venture, the only show they produced was hosted by Meghan. In the series, titled Archetypes, Meghan interviewed various celebrities from Serena Williams to Paris Hilton. The deal was 'mutually ended' in June 2023 with sources claiming the music streaming giant did not see a enough content to warrant the full payout. Earlier this year, the duchess launched her Confessions of a Female Founder with Meghan podcast which saw her chat with female business owners from an array of successful companies. In a slight career change, Meghan also penned a children's book in 2021 titled The Bench. The book follows the relationship of a father and son through the eyes of the mother. It received mixed reviews from critics. In their television projects, Harry and Meghan have kept a much more united front but even so the couple do now appear to be doing much more separate projects. Although an official figure was never announced, Harry and Meghan's deal with Netflix was allegedly worth around £80million and has seen the couple produce multiple shows. Harry's brief cameo at the end of Meghan's Netflix lifestyle programme. A source from the show has since reported that neither Harry nor their children will appear in the next season of the show In 2022, the first Netflix series about the Sussexes was released aptly named Harry and Meghan.

In 2023, Meghan did not join Harry as an executive producer on the Heart of Invictus series, although the duke and duchess did appear together during the show. Meghan's first major solo television project was her lifestyle programme called With Love, Meghan which saw the duchess team up with a number of famous guests to cook and create homeware products. Harry was almost entirely absent from the series aside from a very brief cameo in the last episode.

Brazilian Piper Pipe Band is coming to Edinburgh this summer
In August the Brazilian Piper Pipe Band, a group of young men from the tough suburb of Rio de Janeiro, São Goncalo, will set off on a life- changing adventure to one of the official events celebrating the 200th UK-Brazil anniversary here in the capital. Their journey will take them to Lisbon and London, and the Edinburgh Festival where they will play at the Ross Bandstand. The Brazilian Piper Pipe Band was founded in 1999 by Pipe Major José Paulo Pereira as a social project using the discipline of a pipe band to train underprivileged teenagers from a violent area of Rio De Janeiro dominated by drug traffic to become responsible citizens. They have performed their rich repertoire of traditional Scottish pipe tunes, theme music from famous TV series and Brazilian popular music all over South America – including a foot-tapping samba finale always guaranteeing a standing ovation. Their 'Daily Ceilidh' show will be a prime example of the peaceful fusion of culture between Brazil and the UK and will run from 12 to 19 August 2025 between 15.30 and 17.30. Every afternoon the band will gather at the Ross Fountain in West Princes Street Gardens. At 15.30, there will be a parade behind the Brazilian Piper Pipe Band 200 metres from the fountain to the Ross Bandstand entrance. A Grand March into the area for dancing in front of the stage, where the Iain MacPhail Ceilidh band will start off each ' Daily Ceilidh' show with the 'Gay Gordons' dance. The show will continue by inviting the audience to join in easy ceilidh dances led by the Iain MacPhail Pipe Band and RSCDS dancers, interspersed with presentations by the Brazilian Piper Pipe Band and Batucada Brasil Percussion Group. The show will end with general samba dancing for all to the Brazilian Piper Pipe Band, Batucada Brasil Percussion and the Iain MacPhail Ceilidh Band, followed by Auld Lang Syne. The show will include the Iain MacPhail Ceilidh Band. For over thirty years Iain MacPhail provided the music for Caledonian Balls in South America and the Ghillies' Ball for the Royal family at Balmoral Castle. It will also include dancers from the Royal Scottish County Dance Society (RSCDS) and a carnival group from Edinburgh's Brazilian community with the Batucada Brasil percussion band. Capt James H Frew said: 'I'm a native of Edinburgh, and have been 42 years in Brazil. I'm a retired Merchant Navy captain with a marine surveying business. I've been working on this project since March 2024 – and we'll be staying in Port Seton Holiday village caravans, using the 26 bus to get to Princes Street Gardens every day for the show. 'The Brazilian Piper Pipe Band social project is supported by the British consulate in Rio de Janeiro and the Consulate General of Brazil in Edinburgh. The band raised their own travelling expenses from presentations at shipping malls, local community events and the Rio passenger cruise ship terminal.' During their run they will play along with the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS) dancers and Batucada Brasil Percussion Group. Edinburgh's Brazilian community is organising a BBQ for them. On 11 August the band will be one of 17 international pipe bands which has been invited by the National Piping Centre, Glasgow, to participate in the annual 'Piping Live' parade to demonstrate the versatility of the Great Highland Bagpipe. On 17 August the band will be received by the Consulate General of Brazil in Edinburgh and on 25 August they will return home. Like this: Like Related
