Mel C, 51, shows off her incredible figure in a black skimpy bikini as she soaks up the sun on holiday
The Spice Girl, 51, put on a loved-up display with her boyfriend Chris Dingwall as they enjoyed a romantic holiday together.
The singer and DJ looked happy and relaxed as she read her book on the sun lounger while soaking up the sun.
Mel, known for hits including Wannabe and Viva Forever, kept herself cool by wearing her hair up in a bun.
Living her best life, Mel larked around the crystal blue waters of a location fans believe to be Galicia - an autonomous community in northwestern Spain.
The star also shared snaps of herself looking lovingly into the eyes of her Australian model boyfriend, Chris, believed to be in his 40s, who she went official with at last year's Glastonbury.
The pair are reported to have begun a romance after the iconic nineties singer's relationship with her producer ex Joe Marshall came to an end in 2022.
While it is not known exactly how the couple met, Mel was using the mainstream dating app Hinge prior to finding love.
The snaps come after Mel C recently opened up about the rumoured Spice Girls reunion tour.
She revealed that one member still 'needs more convincing' to take to the stage.
It was revealed earlier this year that the iconic girl group would be reuniting for a possible world tour to celebrate 30 years since the release of the debut single Wannabe.
It has already been said that Posh Spice, aka Victoria Beckham, is '90 per cent out of the running', with the fashion designer, 51, having not joined the girls on stage since the London 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony.
Speaking on the No Filter with Kate Langbroek podcast, Sporty Spice shared: 'Next year is a big year for us and we have to acknowledge it in some way.
'So we are talking about what that's going to look like and for me, Melanie, I know for sure, and Emma [Bunton], we'd be back on stage.
'But sometimes other people need a little bit more convincing.'
Amid her revelation that it was Geri Halliwell-Horner that needed convincing.
This further adds to recent reports that Ginger Spice is set to meet with Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller in Miami to discuss the plans.
The singer, 52, recently remained coy about a possible reunion.
She said in an interview last month: 'I love the Spice Girls as a whole movement, the tribe of us, and the individual members.'
Meanwhile, discussing the prospect of all five girls being on stage together for the first time since 2012, Mel added: 'It would be the best thing ever, ever, ever. And sometimes it feels like a duty to the world.
'When we did the shows in 2019, it brought so much joy to so many people. Not everybody likes the Spice Girls but loads of people do.
'We're living in this weird world right now. There's so much negativity and mad s**t going on. Let's all spice up our lives.'

Four ways to boost your chances of winning massive EuroMillions prizes as £157million up for grabs TONIGHT
WINNING the lottery is everyone's fantasy - but what are the tactics behind picking the winning numbers? Lottery Guy, a top expert and blogger, has exclusively revealed his top tips to boost your chances of winning with Sun readers, which can help you scoop the entire giant £157million jackpot tonight. He chooses to remain anonymous but has been running his blog, Lottery Guy, since 2004, where he dishes out lottery tips to help players win big. Millions of us buy a Euromillions ticket each week with the hope of scooping a huge windfall - so you'll need as much help picking the winning numbers while battling it out against other players. You pick five numbers from 1-50 and two lucky stars from 1-12, or you can choose a lucky dip - which is when the numbers are randomly selected for you. There have been some mega lottery prizes up for grabs recently, including the whopping £208 million EuroMillions jackpot that was won by one lucky Irish ticket holder. The lucky player now has a bank balance bigger than superstars Adele and Dua Lipa. Meanwhile, tonight's jackpot is set at £157million. Of course, the only real way of boosting your chances of winning is to buy more tickets, but make sure you gamble responsibly. Avoid birthday numbers It may be tempting to pick yours and your loved one's birthday dates as your main numbers with the hope they bring you luck. But the Lottery Guy said it's best to avoid this tactic. That's because there will be a greater number of people picking numbers 1-31. "Avoiding these numbers doesn't increase your chance of winning, but if you do win, you're much less likely to split the prize with other winners." Three of the five winning main numbers for the whopping £208million EuroMillions winning ticket were birthday date numbers. They were: 13, 22 and 23. Pick 'unpopular' numbers Statistically, each number has an equal chance of winning, which means there are no "lucky" numbers you can pick to boost your chances. But Lottery Guy said a good idea would be to pick "unpopular" numbers in your ticket. Unpopular numbers are those which run from 32-50, because they fall outside of the birthday date numbers. It makes sense to choose these numbers, because fewer players will be picking them. That means that if you win a share of the winnings, there will be fewer people with the same unpopular numbers on their ticket. "If you do win, you're much less likely to split the prize with other winners," he said. Two of the numbers on the winning £208million EuroMillions ticket were "unpopular" numbers. These were 44 and 49. Join a syndicate A lottery syndicate is when a group of people club together and put money into a pot for lottery tickets. One person will be in charge of buying the tickets and sharing out winnings. They are called the syndicate manager. Joining one could be a good idea, said Lottery Guy. "A syndicate does increase your chance of winning something because you're usually buying a lot more tickets," he said. "But obviously your share of any prize is smaller - although it's still great for a big rollover jackpot." The syndicate manager will need to register the group and list themselves as the person in charge with The National Lottery. It's really important to write all the terms and conditions of your syndicate agreement down. Get each person to sign it, so that if there is any confusion or squabbles over splitting the money, you can refer back to the agreement. For example, if you were in a syndicate of 10 people and you bagged the £157million jackpot tonight, then each person would walk away with £15.7million. That's obviously a lot less than what you would get if you were the only winner - but it's still a jackpot not to be sniffed at. I won £115million in the EuroMillions lottery - here's how I spent it WINNING the EuroMillions was a dream come true for Frances and Patrick Connolly. The couple, from Moira, Northern Ireland, were gobsmacked when they scooped £115million back in 2019. But it wasn't a luxury supercar or a mansion that they splurged on first - they shared nearly £58million between 50 friends and family. Frances said last year that she and husband Patrick have donated £60million since their life-changing win. 'That's £60million-worth of love," she said. "And the thing that makes me even happier is that every single person we gave money to has passed some of it on to other people. I can't think of a day since winning the Lottery that I haven't smiled." They've also made some splurges of their own. Patrick has swapped his old Renault Laguna for a new £30,000 Alfa Romeo Giulia. He also gifted Frances with her dream car - although it came with a much more modest price tag - a £2,000 X-Type Jaguar. "If I had any advice for a winner, I'd say money liberates you to be the person that you want to be." Which day to play You have to be in it to win it, so if you want the chance of scooping a jackpot, you must buy a ticket. But certain days are better than others to buy a ticket. Lottery Guy said Tuesday is actually the best day to buy a ticket over Friday. He said: "With EuroMillions, Friday is the much more popular day, so you've got more competition on a Friday. "Consider focusing on the Tuesday draw if you want to keep more of that jackpot for yourself." And remember, only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set a spending limit before you play.

Binky Felstead shows off her toned frame in a colourful bikini during her family summer holiday to Sweden
Binky Felstead looked incredible in an eye-catching bikini as she enjoyed a day on the beach with her family during their summer getaway to Sweden. The former Made In Chelsea star, 35, showed off her toned frame and washboard midriff in the colourful high-waisted two-piece. Binky's snaps was from a beach day with her brood, as the mother of three accessorised her look with a gold necklace and shades. The reality star had enjoyed a dip in the sea judging by her salt-kissed locks, before returning to soak up the rays on their picnic blankets. She is away with her husband Max Fredrik Darnton, 35, and their sons Wolfie, four, and Wilder, two, as well as her daughter India, eight, who she shares with ex Josh Patterson. Binky has shared a glimpse of the family holiday on her Instagram page, as they hung out by the seaside and went horse riding. The trip comes after Binky opened up about a post-birth health issue which left her 'freaking out' and convinced she would lose her teeth. She was diagnosed with gum disease recently, which was beginning to destroy her bones and needed urgent attention. Binky is a proud mother-of-three and last gave birth in 2023 to a son named Wilder, who is now one. Following her diagnosis, Binky decided to share her story online with her Instagram followers, to spread awareness with other mums. Speaking to The Sun, she said: 'I was really worried about it and I actually only learnt through social media. By the way, hundreds of messages I got from other parents, other women, saying they've got the same. 'I think the old wives tale is that you lose a tooth per child. I don't know, I'm freaking out, I'm not going to have a tooth in ten years.' She added that there's 'lots of not so glamorous things' that happen after giving birth and having children. Binky said she has started having to do her greys, admitting that 'the good outweighs the bad'. She said it's 'important' to have these conversations on social media to normalise it, and that the fact it is common made her feel a lot better about it. Eight years after leaving MIC, Binky says she is 'kind of getting her MOJO back'. Binky is super relatable online with her fans, and always keeps it real. In recent days, she made a 'revolting' confession that she hasn't washed her make-up brush in 10 years during a mother-daughter makeover clip. India can be seen unleashing her creative spark as she layered on the bronzer and lined her mother's lips with a pencil. In the clip Binky confessed: 'Do you know your godfather, Ollie Locke? This was his makeup brush from about ten years ago and I have never washed it since. How revolting is that and I still use it?' India appeared unphased by the revelation and continued to layer on the bronzer until the TV personality persuaded her to stop. Motherhood is a vital part of Binky's life now and along with husband Max she appears to have the perfect fairytale family. She started dating her husband Max Fin January 2019 after they met at Soho Farmhouse and the couple later married in September 2021.
