A Place In The Sun's Laura Hamilton, 43, hits back at cruel trolls insisting she is 'too old to wear a bikini' as she wows in stunning swimwear snap and shares powerful message
The A Place In The Sun presenter, 43, wowed in a plunging black and white snake print swimming costume as she beamed beside the pool and asked fans: 'Who decides when we're 'too old' for anything?✨…'
She continued: 'I recently read a comment saying I was too old to wear a bikini… and it honestly made me stop and think for a second.
'But then I reminded myself, life's way too short to worry about what other people think.'
Waving in a swimming costume beside her daughter Tahlia she added: 'Today I'm wearing a swimsuit, not because of the comment I read but because I wanted to and I feel comfortable in it!
'We all have days when we feel self-conscious, but we deserve to enjoy the sunshine, the beach, the pool, whatever makes us happy, no matter our age and whether we choose to wear a swimsuit or a bikini!!'
It comes after Laura displayed her incredible figure in a blue halter neck bikini during her Sardinian holiday earlier this week.
Joined by her children Rocco, 11, and Tahlia, 10, who she shares with ex-husband Alex Goward, Laura soaked up the Italian sun at the Forte Village resort.
She looked sensational in a light blue halter neck bikini top with low-rise briefs featuring gold brooches as she did matching poses with her mini-me Tahlia in an array of snaps.
Documenting her trip on Instagram on Monday, Laura shared that her and the kids had enjoyed an electric bike ride around the resort before listening to a piano recital.
Later the trio took to the clear-blue sea to go snorkelling at the picturesque resort.
'Sass, sparkle, and sun-kissed days at Forte Village ✨,' she captioned the snaps.
'Tahlia's the kind of girl who turns palm-lined paths into catwalks and ice cream runs into comedy shows. She's my tiny travel queen. Quirky, kind, bold, and bursting with magic.'
Earlier this year, Laura revealed that she went on a date with Shaggy - and he made her pay!
She asked fans: 'Who decides when we're 'too old' for anything?… 'I recently read a comment saying I was too old to wear a bikini… and it honestly made me stop and think for a second'
Laura, who split from husband Alex Goward, 44, in 2022 after a decade of marriage, shared details about her dating life in a new interview on Friday.
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, Laura confirmed that she was still single and having fun as she recalled a surprise date from over 20 years ago.
Recounting meeting up with Shaggy, she explained: 'I met him for coffee and I had to pay for it. It was at Heathrow airport.
'I'd been working with him, and he said, 'I really want to meet up with you and talk about work opportunities.''
Confirming that he made up a song and sang it to her, she continued: 'God, that was over 20 years ago. I'm not sure he'd recognise me now.'
Adding of her dating life now, Laura said: 'I'm busy working and dating and having fun, and I prefer to find people naturally rather than being on dating apps.
'I like to go out and meet people who have common interests. I made a decision going forward that I want to keep that aspect of my life private.
'I think it's really important that if I'm dating people - and I have been dating people - if they're not in the public eye, then they have a right to privacy.
'Just because I'm in the public eye – you never know what their job is, and they might need privacy for security reasons, and so I'm always mindful of that.'
Laura and her ex-husband Alex, split after 13 years together.
In a statement at the time, she wrote: 'This isn't something I ever thought I'd be saying but, after 13 years of being together Alex and I have separated.
'Our children are and always will be our number one priority and we would respect privacy for our family at this time.'

David Beckham cheekily grabs wife Victoria's bum during family meal with son Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel in Portofino as Brooklyn and Nicola miss out amid ongoing feud
cheekily grabbed his wife Victoria's bum during a family meal in Portofino on Friday. The couple are currently enjoying a yacht holiday with children Romeo, Cruz and Harper, while their eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz miss out on the fun. David, Victoria, Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel stepped off the vessel and head to Bloody Bay for a sunset dinner. Jackie could be seen snapping candid moments of power couple David and Victoria as they cosied up for the camera. Fashion designer Victoria, 51, showed off her incredible figure in a backless black dress, while David looked stylish in a bright blue shirt with beige trousers. Jackie flaunted her toned physique in a tiny satin bra and a maxi skirt, while Cruz opted for a pale blue polo shirt. The group were seen enjoying wine, cocktails and food together before heading back to the rest of the family. It comes just hours after David appeared to extend a tentative olive branch to son Brooklyn, 26, by 'liking' his latest video on Instagram. The Beckham clan are currently in the South of France, while Brooklyn is sticking with his wife Nicola across the pond as their alleged fall-out rages on. While the majority of the Beckhams have been putting on a giddy display packed with in-jokes and relaxation, their eldest son has been sticking by his wife. Earlier this week, Brooklyn and Nicola looked happier than ever as they marked three years of marriage by reaffirming the promises they made to each other with a vow renewal. A source close to the couple confirmed the news to Daily Mail, stating: 'This is a moment to celebrate their love and commitment, and to create a meaningful memory together.' He looked to be missing out on a fun-filled trip, as the other offspring made the most of their trip together in St Tropez. Brooklyn left the south of France to return to the US, where he was spotted looking glum on an outing in New York with his wife and mother-in-law, Claudia, on Tuesday. In another update, Brooklyn embraced his billionaire father-in-law in snaps from the family getaway to St Tropez. He enjoyed a friendly beer with Nelson Peltz, 83, before packing on the PDA with wife Nicola onboard the businessman's superyacht. Amid the trip the couple enjoyed a swanky lunch with Brooklyn's godfather Elton John, who sources revealed planned the dinner in a desperate attempt to calm the family's feud. Nicola shared a slew of final holiday snaps from the couple's lavish trip before heading home to the US. Sir Elton, who has been friends with David and Victoria for over 30 years, treated Brooklyn and Nicola to food at fancy La Guerite beach club in the South of France. Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz have kept away amid an ongoing family feud, as the pair lived it up on a £85million vessel that dwarfs his parents' close by the week before. The family has been thrown into turmoil in recent months as it has been claimed Brooklyn has become increasingly estranged from his famous parents after failing to attend any of his father David's 50th birthday celebrations in May. Victoria recently gave a rare insight into her feelings about estranged son Brooklyn with a telling social media move. David liked the post in a shock move to fans The former Spice Girl has proved she is still keeping tabs on her eldest son's moves by 'liking' several of his social media posts. Notably, in the three-weeks spanning July 5 and July 26 - she liked every single one of his posts that didn't feature Nicola. All posts in which he was seen with his wife, were not acknowledged by Victoria. It is possible that these posts - four out of the 16 - were simply not seen by her. Victoria has not liked any of Nicola's posts in the same time period. Nor have the Lola actress and Brooklyn liked any of Victoria's.

Rebekah Vardy shows off her toned physique in a tiny white bikini during family holiday
Rebekah Vardy showed off her toned physique in a tiny bikini during a family holiday with her husband Jamie and their kids. The WAG, 43, is currently soaking up the sun with her loved ones in a mystery sun-soaked location. Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Becky shared a Story of herself posing for some scantily-clad snaps in the mirror. She flaunted her incredible figure as she commanded attention in a cherry printed two-piece. The mother-of-five looked tanned as she covered her face with her phone for the selfie. The model captioned her snap: 'Such a cute bikini from @ohpollyswim.' She also shared some photographs of her kids having the time of their life as they spent the day at a waterpark. Rebekah shares kids Sofia, 10, Olivia, four, and Finley, seven, with her husband Jamie while she also has Megan, 19, and Taylor, 14, from previous relationships. It's the second time she has been on holiday in recent weeks, as she went away with her partner and his footballing pals Harry Maguire and James Maddison in July. Jamie and Rebekah had been enjoying a few weeks at their £9.7million villa in the Algarve. The Vardy's getaway came after they tried to foot the £4million costs bill for her ill-fated Wagatha Christie libel case against Coleen Rooney. Perhaps to help pay the steep bill, Rebekah and Jamie listed their Portuguese villa for an 'optimistic' £9.7million following the trial. Last month, Rebekah was ordered by a judge to pay £1.27million towards rival Coleen Rooney's legal expenses, on top of her own bill, reported to be more than £2million, from the disastrous libel claim she brought in 2022. The Wagatha Christie trial left the mother-of-five's reputation 'in tatters' and had a similar effect on her 'brand' with potential advertisers. Rebekah was ordered by a judge to pay £1.4m towards rival Coleen Rooney's legal expenses, on top of her own bill, reported to be more than £2million, from the disastrous libel claim she brought in 2022 Rebekah unsuccessfully sued the I'm A Celeb star in the High Court in 2022 after she was publicly accused of leaking stories about her to the press. The catalyst for the famous case was a dramatic open letter written by Coleen and posted on social media in October 2019 in which she revealed she had turned detective to figure out who had been leaking the stories to the press. Coleen publicly claimed Rebekah's account was the source behind three newspaper stories featuring fake details she had posted on her private Instagram profile - her travelling to Mexico for a 'gender selection' procedure, her planning to return to TV and the basement flooding at her home. Though Jamie has continued to be one of the Premier League's big earners, pulling in an estimated £7.3million at Leicester City last season, and now linked with a possible transfer to Manchester United, there's no doubt the family finances took a massive blow from the Wagatha scandal and its aftermath. In recent years, the couple rented out their beloved villa on the exclusive golf resort of Quinta do Lago for up to £30,000 a week, but then reluctantly decided to put it up for sale.
