Maura Higgins sends pulses racing in a skimpy white bikini as she soaks up the sun during lavish Mykonos trip
sent pulses racing in a skimpy two-piece as she soaked up the sun during a lavish trip to Mykonos on Monday. The Love Island bombshell, 34, flaunted her incredible physique in the blue and white striped bikini, which featured an elegant flower detail. She seemed to be fresh out of the pool as the reality TV personality wrapped her brunette tresses into a fluffy white towel in the sizzling Instagram snaps. To accessorise her pool-side look, she wore a myriad of charm bracelets on one arm and some simple gold bangles on the other. As she sunbathed on a white sun lounger by the pool, Maura can be seen sipping from a white cup. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Maura also took to her Stories to share sizzling snap of her in a triangle yellow bikini and a white sun hat. The trip comes after her big return to the red carpet, following her 'drunken' kiss scandal with McFly 's Danny Jones earlier this year. The brunette beauty pulled out all the stops at the BAFTA TV Awards earlier this month, turning heads in a backless blue gown with a huge skirt. But while she made sure all eyes were on her on her arrival, Maura was later pictured sitting alone during the ceremony and reportedly didn't stay long before making a sneaky backdoor exit. In a photograph exclusively obtained by MailOnline, the presenter could be seen sitting by herself on her phone in her stunning ball gown at the event. Meanwhile, in pictures published on The Sun, she later risked the wrath of BAFTA as she left an hour into the ceremony as she snuck into a taxi. A source told the publication: 'Maura wanted her red carpet return to be a big moment. She thinks enough time has passed — she can't hide forever.' Explaining how her huge dress meant she was uncomfortable in the cramped hall they continued: 'She was talking about her dress taking up too much space and was absolutely boiling. 'So she snuck out with pal Luke Hamnett while a nominations reel was shown. It'll be frowned upon in TV circles as the Baftas is an incredibly prestigious event and leaving is a big no-no.' Maura hit the headlines in March, after she and Danny, 39, were spotted in a compromising clinch at the Universal Music's BRIT Awards afterparty, after appearing on I'm A Celeb together last year. The married singer is said to no longer have a 'normal relationship' with his wife Georgia, 38, and while they are still living under the same roof, they now have 'separate lives'. Both Danny and Maura have generally kept away from public events since the scandal, until her big return at the BAFTAs, where she kept mum on the kiss. While she wasn't at risk of any awkward reunions with Danny as he reportedly skipped the ceremony to avoid 'putting a foot wrong' with his wife. Danny previously issued a public apology to Georgia and their seven-year-old son Cooper, admitting he was 'deeply sorry' and vowing to deal with things privately. Sources previously claimed to MailOnline that despite their efforts, the couple are like 'passing ships' and friends fear their relationship is hanging on by a thread. A source said: 'Danny and Georgia have been trying to navigate a very difficult time in their marriage and for the best part they have been taking each day as it comes. 'They may be living under the same roof, but they barely see each other and right now are like passing ships. 'Danny is preparing for his summer gigs with McFly, and Georgia has been attending influencer events and collaborating with brands, all while looking after son, Cooper, who regularly features on her Instagram profile. 'But when they're not working, Danny is out on his motorbike or exercising in the gym, and Georgia is either on her own or spending time with family and girlfriends. Maura (L) hit the headlines in March, after she and Danny, 39, (R) were spotted in a compromising clinch at the Universal Music's BRIT Awards afterparty, after appearing on I'm A Celeb together last year (both seen on the show) 'They haven't actually been publicly seen together for six weeks and behind the scenes, their relationship is anything but normal.' But now the singer is also making his TV return and will join the second series of You Bet!, ITV's rebooted challenge show, hosted by Stephen Mulhern. Danny will appear alongside former I'm A Celeb campmate Oti Mabuse and Olympian Greg Rutherford, and has already filmed some segments at London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. In behind-the-scenes clips shared on his Instagram last weekend, Danny looked upbeat as he returned to work, grinning alongside his co-stars and cheering on contestants tackling extreme rides.

Love Island's Gabby Allen puts on a busty display in a plunging red dress as she enjoys night out after Casey O'Gorman split
She is newly-single after her split from Casey O'Gorman. And Gabby Allen was well and truly getting herself back out there as she hit the town this weekend in a busty red dress. The Love Islander, 33, - who won the All Stars series earlier this year with Casey - looked incredible in the sexy number as she posed up a storm for new Instagram snaps. She boosted her height with gold heels and accessorised with statement earrings while at a swanky bar in London. Gabby penned in the caption: 'I never usually wear red, but I do love this dress.. what do you think?' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after last week the real reason behind Gabby and Casey's break-up was revealed. The Love Island stars won the £50,000 cash prize on All Stars in February but split just three months later, deciding they are better off as friends. Now, an insight has been given into the reason behind their split in resurfaced comments made by Gabby mere days before they went their separate ways. The fitness influencer admitted she didn't have 'time' for a boyfriend and told how she was adjusting to making time for Casey, 28, after leaving the villa. Speaking to the Mirror at the BAFTA TV Awards on Sunday, just two days before their split was made public, Gabby said: 'I have two businesses so I have to like try and juggle that. 'Which I don't have time to bl**dy see anyone, let alone have a boyfriend.' 'You have to make time because otherwise you end up not seeing each other for a week,' she added. 'Like when we do see each other, we just wanna like snog and stuff and not be on camera!' News of the couple's separation emerged at the start of this month with the pair confirming that they remained on 'amicable' terms. In a joint statement, their reps told MailOnline: 'After much thoughtful consideration, Gabby and Casey have decided to go their separate ways romantically. 'This decision was mutual, and they both remain on good terms as friends with a shared respect for each other.' Gabby's rep added: 'Gabby is grateful for the memories they've created together and wishes Casey nothing but the best as they both move forward on their individual journeys. 'She's excited for what the future holds and appreciates.' The split came as a surprise to fans as Gabby was seen supporting Casey as he ran the London Marathon just a few weeks before. She waited in the crowd to greet Casey and the pair shared a sweet kiss as she cheered him on. The break-up came exactly one month after Gabby and Casey enjoyed a trip to Dubai together in their first holiday as a couple. The pair shared loved-up snaps from the trip where Casey was seen planting a kiss on Gabby's cheek while they enjoyed a romantic dinner. After winning the show, they had also enjoyed plenty of double dates with last year's All Stars winners Tom Clare and Molly Smith. Gabby discussed their relationship on the Agree to Disagree podcast earlier this month, including the moment when Casey asked her to be his girlfriend. 'He actually asked me weeks and weeks ago, we'd been out the villa about a month and I just thought I'm not even going to tell anyone,' she said. 'It's almost funnier that people are still giving me s**t about it! He literally asked me on a dog walk and a nice country pub and it was so nice there were no frills attached and it was perfect for what we wanted. 'I get why people want the elaborate stuff but this really from Case just really made it feel like it was real.' Gabby and Casey stormed to victory during the live Love Island final - pipping longtime frontrunners Luca Bish and Grace Jackson to the post while Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard finished in third. The couple had flown under the radar in the leadup to the finale, with bookmakers never placing them as favourites to clinch the £50,000 prize.

Gary Lineker Will Depart Sooner Than Planned After Antisemitism Controversy, BBC Confirms
Soccer pundit Gary Lineker will leave the BBC sooner than planned following an antisemitism row, the corporation has confirmed. Last week, Lineker shared a social media post about Zionism containing an illustration of a rat, historically used as an antisemitic insult. The presenter apologized, saying he would never knowingly have shared anything antisemitic. More from Variety BBC Chief Tim Davie Commits to CIISA Standards in Anti-Bullying Push Susan Sarandon, Mike Leigh Among 600+ Signatories of Open Letter Demanding That BBC Air Delayed Gaza Medics Documentary How to Watch the 2025 BAFTA TV Awards Online 'Gary Lineker will leave his presenting role following the conclusion of Match of the Day for the 2024/25 season,' the BBC said in a statement on Monday. 'He will not be part of the BBC's coverage of the 2026 World Cup or next season's FA Cup coverage.' Tim Davie, BBC director-general, said: 'Gary has acknowledged the mistake he made. Accordingly, we have agreed he will step back from further presenting after this season. Gary has been a defining voice in football coverage for the BBC for over two decades. His passion and knowledge have shaped our sports journalism and earned him the respect of sports fans across the U.K. and beyond. We want to thank him for the contribution he has made.' Lineker added: 'Football [soccer] has been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember – both on the pitch and in the studio. I care deeply about the game, and about the work I've done with the BBC over many years. As I've said, I would never consciously repost anything antisemitic – it goes against everything I stand for. However, I recognize the error and upset that I caused, and reiterate how sorry I am. Stepping back now feels like the responsible course of action.' This isn't Lineker's first controversy. In 2023, the BBC said it had had a 'frank conversation'' with the star after he criticized the government's asylum policy, comparing the language to 'not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s.' In response, the BBC determined that he had breached their social media guidelines and Lineker was required to step back from hosting for several days. Earlier this month, Lineker appeared to criticize the new boss of BBC Sport, Alex Kay-Jelski, telling the Telegraph he had 'no television experience,' while urging him not to make changes to 'Match of the Day.' And, in an interview with the BBC's Amol Rajan, Lineker said he sensed the BBC wanted him to leave as he negotiated a new contract last year. Last week, when BBC director-general Tim Davie was asked whether Lineker broke the rules with his post, he replied: 'When it comes to presenters, I just say that the BBC's reputation is held by everyone, and when someone makes a mistake, it costs us. And I think we absolutely need people to be exemplars of the BBC values and follow our social media policy. Simple as that.'

Melvin Odoom confirms relationship status after secret texts with MAFS star
Melvin Odoom is best known for his TV and radio work, going on to appear on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! last year Melvin Odoom has confirmed his relationship status after being linked to a Married At First Sight star. The TV presenter was rumoured to be in a relationship with 27-year-old Lacey Martin who found fame on the reality show. However, he has since confirmed that he is currently single and is not seeing Lacey. Earlier in the year, it was said that the 44-year-old had his eye on Lacey as they got close at a party in London in February. It was thought that Lacey was Melvin's special guest and has been messaging each other weeks before. Before this he was also linked to other TV stars such as Carol Vorderman after expressing an interest in her while he was on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! last year. But it has since been reported by The Sun that Melvin is single. Melvin was asked about his relationship status on the red carpet at the 2025 BAFTA TV Awards as he explained: "No [I'm not dating her]. I am just a friendly guy! I am a single pringle - no mingling! I am just focusing on my work." Melvin previously admitted that he had his eye on the former Countdown host Carole Vorderman, saying that she was his ultimate celebrity crush while he appeared on I'm A Celeb. As a result, Carol decided to leave Melvin a flirty voicemail as the public started to believe they might be an item. The two of them were then seen spending time with each other in March not long after Melvin said that she had ignored a text from him. Speaking to fellow I'm A Celebrity campmate GK Barry on her Saving Grace podcast she asked Melvin: "Carol Vorderman. Have you had any update on that?" Melvin then explained: "I'll tell you the truth. I sent her a message saying, 'Thanks for being a great sport but here's my number. Give me a little call'. "She's not read it. It's been three weeks. Why would you not even just read it? It's just been left there and I check it once a week. And I'm like, 'Oh, okay...'." While Melvin was competing on the ITV show, Carol sent him a cheeky voicemail to wish him luck. She said: "Melvin, I'm blushing redder than that leather red dress I'm wearing on your pillowcase. But I'll be rooting for you all the way through, and see you on the other side." Melvin has always kept his private life on the down low. However, he revealed that he's open to love wherever he might find it. In a YouTube interview last year, he said: "Dating is hard. For me, don't shut yourself off from anything because your potential partner could be anywhere. You have to chill and go with the flow, you can't control love."
