Tasha Ghouri sets pulses racing as she shares series of racy bikini pics from her 'Italian summer'

Tasha Ghouri set pulses racing on Sunday as she shared a series of racy bikini pics from her 'Italian summer'. The Love Island alumni - who has just turned 27 - spent last week partying in Barcelona for her birthday, as she welcomed in her next chapter after quitting Channel 4 's Celeb SAS. It was filmed last year but aired on screens in recent weeks, with stars such as presenter Chloe Burrows and dancer Louis Spence also dropping out. After catching a flight from Spain to Italy, Tasha has been enjoying the sunshine following a few days of celebrations. She was glowing in her latest Instagram post as she showed off her natural tan in her swimwear. The reality star went make-up free for the photos, embracing her natural features as she let her hair down. She had a large glass of Whispering Angel wine in her hand as she posed for some stunning selfies, which included gorgeous scenery from the idyllic getaway in what appeared to be dreamy Sorrento. Other snaps showed Tasha tucking into a bowl of mouth-watering pasta, as well as views of the city. Her holiday seemed to be a mixture of relaxation, yummy food and plenty of wine. Tasha has recently been at the centre of headlines after Daily Mail revealed that her new boyfriend Cam was in a long-term relationship just weeks before going public with the Strictly star. The TV personality celebrated her birthday on Monday after a turbulent year - from splitting from ex Andrew Le Page - to dating new man Cam. She appeared to have a fun trip surrounded by her nearest and dearest, confirming she flew home on Tuesday with an Instagram snap from the plane. On Instagram, alongside a series of stunning photos, Tasha reflected on the ups and downs, writing: 'Goodbye 26.. dancing my way into 27!! 'Feeling incredibly grateful for everything this past year has brought, the growth, the love, the lessons and special moments! 26 was good to me, here's to 27 and everything this next chapter holds!! Have a feeling it's going to be magical. So much love to all of you, my friends & family who have been by my side through it all, going into this year with a full heart.' Her YouTuber boyfriend Cam stars in CBBC series One Zoo Three and BBC show OZT Goes Wild alongside his brothers Ty and Aaron. His family run Hertfordshire Zoo and he is the managing director of a non-profit charity, The Big Cat Sanctuary, which rescues wild cats and protects species at risk of extinction. Cam was previously dating stunning wildlife photographer Felicity Sutton, 34, for a year and together they shared a love of animals, with pals convinced at the time that 'nothing' could break the pair up. A source told The Sun: 'It came as a surprise to everyone to see Cam with Tasha. He was so loved up with Felicity before'. 'This time last year, he was with Felicity on his birthday, and it really looked like nothing would break them, but a year on, he's in Tuscany with Tasha for his big day. Everyone is bemused. 'Felicity doesn't have any hard feelings towards him as such, and she will always cherish their time together, it's just a lot to see your ex in the limelight suddenly.' Meanwhile Tasha's ex, Andrew Le Page, launched into an explosive rant about her being on a dating app during their relationship. Andrew claimed on that Tasha was using the celebrity dating app Raya while still in a relationship with him and insisted he wanted to speak out after she had appeared on 'one too many podcasts' to speak about him. The reality star went make-up free for the photos, embracing her natural features as she let her hair down Soon after, they released a shock joint statement. In the statement shared with Daily Mail, the former couple who met on Love Island in 2022, came together to address 'hurtful comments' in a move that took place after Andrew accused Tasha of not being able to 'keep his name out of her mouth'. The exes quickly put Andrew's rant aside and came together to address the 'noise' around their relationship as Tasha admitted to 'making mistakes' during their romance. Both parties expressed their wish to 'move on' from the relationship after suffering 'judgement and cruelty' from online trolls.

Wildfires ‘out of control' in Spain as thousands evacuated and extra 500 troops deployed with holiday hotspots on alert

RAGING wildfires are reportedly out of control in Spain - with thousands evacuated and 500 troops deployed across holiday hotspots. Terrifying infernos spread across Galicia, Extremadura, Castilla and León, and Asturias - sparking alarming high-level alerts across the regions. 8 8 8 8 In Galicia, the fires burned over 50,000 hectares of land - the most ever burned during a wildfire in the region. The majority of the flames here ripped through the city of Ourense, wreaking havoc on locals and tourists alike. It was reported that 13 of the fires there are currently active as of Sunday evening, but several could become active again. In Castilla and León, there were reportedly 27 active forest fires on Sunday. Over 3,500 residents were forced out of their homes in the provinces of León, Zamora, Salamanca, and Palencia. There are a total of 21 active forest fires in the province of León - seven of which are category 2 and four of which are level 1. The wildfires are evolving irregularly, and all of them are being closely monitored for possible re-ignitions. A spokesperson for the regional government in León, Eduardo Diego, said the evacuation of the town of Castropetre had been agreed upon due to the Gestoso fire. This blaze reportedly spread from Ourense and has a very active front towards León. Meanwhile, the Jarilla fire tearing through Cáceres, in the heart of Extremadura, is "completely out of control", the president of the regional government María Guardiola said. Desperate moment Greek locals run into the sea to get on rescue boats as wildfires rip through dozens of residential regions This fire has already spread to the Port of Honduras and is only 7km from the provincial border of Salamanca. Castile and León has therefore been warned that the fire could enter its territory. In six days, the blaze has devastated 9,000 hectares of land. It sparked a mass evacuations in Gargantilla as well as a lockdown in Hervás on Sunday. The area is said to be very difficult to access, and 17 teams are currently working there. On top of this, Molina Ferrera was confined due to the Yeres/Llamas de Cabrera fire. 8 8 A total of 12 towns have been evacuated due to this blaze, with 681 residents out of their homes. It comes as hundreds of dangerous and deadly wildfires have plagued Europe in recent weeks with dozens of holiday hotspots left ravaged. On Saturday, terrifying footage emerged showing the horrifying moment a fire tornado violently erupted in Portugal, killing a mayor in its blaze. Portugal's northern region of Aguiar de Beira was left burned on Friday as a fire tornado cascaded through the area. This rare phenomenon is formed in intense heat when the air surrounding a fire begins to rotate into a vortex. Portugal, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Italy and Bulgaria are all still reeling from the deadly fires that have sprung up this summer. Brits have been put on high alert over wildfires tearing through the popular holiday island of Tenerife in Spain. Just a couple weeks ago, a fire sparked in the north and continued to spread towards busy resorts in Santiago del Teide. Locals were ordered to evacuate the area and the island was put on red alert for the high risk of forest fires. 8

The 10 best beaches in the Costa del Sol

The Costa del Sol's almost 100 miles (160km) of coastline gives plenty of scope for beaches, and there are over 100, ranging from barely accessible coves to long stretches of sand. Don't expect golden or white sands – you need to head west to the Costa de la Luz for those, but do expect clean and safe beaches with reliable weather almost all year. Most also have facilities such as showers, toilets, restaurants and cafés, plus lifeguards and accessible bathing points (available in summer only). The Mediterranean here is mostly friendly, but be aware of shelving beaches in some areas and occasional rip currents. All our recommendations below have been hand-selected and tested by our resident destination expert to help you discover the best beaches in the Costa del Sol. Find out more below, or for more Costa del Sol inspiration, see our guides to the hotels, restaurants, bars and nightclubs and things to do. Los Boliches Blue-flag status, shallow bathing and playparks make this mile and so (2 km) stretch a hit with families. This sea is home to a surprising variety of sea life, so pack goggles and a snorkel. Too windy or chilly? Admire the beach from the promenade as you stroll, run or cycle. Insider tip: Visit on 16th July for the Virgen del Carmen celebrations, featuring a marine procession and fireworks. Area: Fuengirola How to get there: By train on the Malaga-Fuengirola line. Burriana One of Nerja's larger beaches, these fine shingle sands have blue-flag status and boast stunning views of the coast. A favourite with families – but watch out for the shelving beach; there's room to lay our towel, even in high summer. Watersports galore for all energy levels and wallet sizes. Insider tip: Even if you don't fancy rice for lunch, peek into Restaurante Ayo to see possibly the world's largest paella pans bubbling on the stove. Area: Nerja How to get there: Park for free on the seafront or, if busy, on one of the adjoining streets. Cala el Cañuelo In a coastal nature reserve, this small cove is only accessible on foot or via a shuttle minibus that runs daily from June to mid-September; £1.90 (€2.25) return (cash only). The pebbled beach makes for clear waters and excellent snorkelling. The restaurant opens during the summer only. Insider tip: it's a steep 20-minute walk down (longer up), so wear sturdy shoes. Area: Nerja How to get there: Park in Playa del Cañuelo car park off the N340 and follow the Sendero Bajada del Cañuelo. La Carihuela A classic since the 1960s, these blue-flag sands offer the quintessential Spanish day out at the seaside. Think sun beds and parasols, pedalos and water sports, fried fish at the beachfront restaurants and ice cream from the kiosks. Insider tip: if you haven't got your own shade and don't want to rent a parasol, set up camp in one of the palm tree oases. Area: Torremolinos How to get there: Get off at Montemar on the Malaga-Fuengirola train. Casablanca Quieter than other central beaches in Marbella, these blue-flag sands flank the swanky mansions and luxury hotels on the Golden Mile. Keep things real by taking a picnic and your own shade; enjoy mountain and Morocco views by walking the Marbella Club pier or, if closed, the nearby breakwater, for free. Insider tip: Include this beach on a seafront walk from Marbella to Puerto Banús (4.3 miles or 7km). Area: Marbella How to get there: Free parking on nearby streets. La Caleta Not as well-known as La Malagueta next door, but quieter and with better views of Malaga Bay, this blue-flag beach is perfect for a time out from sightseeing. Children will love the inflatable water park in the summer, and bathing is shallow year-round. Insider tip: start your day with a Malaga-style breakfast (coffee and bread with olive oil and tomato) on the sand at Chiringuito Nuevo Mediterráneo. Area: Malaga How to get there: Walk from the city centre. Peñón del Cuervo At the eastern end of Malaga, this secluded cove is dominated by a rocky outcrop (squint to almost see the likeness to the crow it's named for). Snorkelling is good around the rock, and it's a top spot for a winter sunrise. Insider tip: Hire a bike and venture further east along the cycle lanes to the resort of La Cala del Moral. Playa de la Rada These long blue-flag sands offer safe bathing, a long list of facilities and good restaurants serving some of the best fried fish and sardine skewers in town. In addition, their proximity to the town centre makes them an ideal pitstop before or after you explore central Estepona. Insider tip: Discover all the beaches in Estepona by walking along the Sendero Litoral coastal path. Area: Estepona How to get there: There's free parking nearby or visitors can walk from the town centre. Playa Real de Zaragoza/ Playa de Costa Bella Easily the best sands on the Costa del Sol, these stretch for over 8 miles (13km) from the dunes in Cabo Pino almost to Marbella itself. There are reasonable facilities and safe bathing, plus perhaps the most eclectic collection of beach restaurants anywhere, from the cheap and cheerful Restaurante Las Flores to the uber-chic Nikki Beach. Insider tip: Enjoy Cuban food and salsa Sundays at the Ranchón Cubano, mid-May to mid-September. Puerto Banús These blue-flag sands on either side of the marina suit everyone: families love the safe, shallow bathing, while beach bunnies hop to the west end to Ocean Club, with its younger vibe and famous themed parties, and La Sala by the Sea, with a more mature and sophisticated appeal. Insider tip: Dress codes apply at most beach clubs; some have a minimum spend. Area: Marbella How to get there: Park in nearby car parks or bus from central Marbella. How we choose Every beach in this curated list has been expertly chosen by our destination expert, to provide you with their insider perspective. We cover a range of areas and styles, from popular city beaches to lesser-known corners, to best suit every type of traveller. We update this list regularly to keep up with the latest openings and provide up-to-date recommendations. About our expert Joanna Styles I have been championing the Costa del Sol since 1990. When I'm not waxing lyrical about my forever home, you'll find me running on the Malaga promenade or catching up on new art in the city.
