While the supermodel's swimwear gave a glimpse at her toned figure, passers-by were more bemused by the presence of her brown Hermes Birkin accessory slung over her arm. The coveted designer bag took pride of place on her left arm, with Kate leaving the clasp open for easy access to her beach essentials. She was seen making her way away from the crystal-clear see waters up to a more hilly part of the beach in Formentera. Kate was on holiday with look-a-like daughter Lila, who has followed in her modelling footsteps. Later in the day, they were spotted taking a trip on a private boat. Just last week, during a recent trip to Ibiza, Kate was seen covering her boobs as she swam topless. Kate has been modelling since she was 14, and she is proving she's still at the top of her game. Recently, away from her vacations, she posed in just stockings and a bra for a steamy Saint Laurent ad. PARTY GIRL Recently, pals of the supermodel expressed their worries she had reverted back to her drinking, party girl heyday.

'She was hanging out in Van Morrison's private backstage area, before watching him from the side of the stage — before she went back to the bar for another drink. 'When she watched Neil Young, she flitted between the audience and the suites to keep the beers flowing. 'Kate sank a fair few drinks with her friends and quietly slipped away before Neil finished his set. 'The whole time she was laughing and giggling. 'Kate was quite literally the life and soul of the party. And there wasn't a crystal in sight.' Back in 2020, one of her closest pals, DJ Fat Tony, said she had been sober for two years. And as she launched her former wellness brand Cosmoss, Kate unveiled a rebranded version of herself to fans. It was Kate's return to her party lifestyle, pals claim, that influenced the break-up with her teetotal boyfriend of nine years, British photographer Nikolai Von Bismarck. In December, friends told us that the pair were going on 'different journeys'. One pal revealed: 'Kate feels fabulous and she wants to get back out there and have some fun.' 9 Kate flashed her figure in her swimwear Credit: BackGrid 9 Kate was seen in all white later in the day Credit: BackGrid 9 Kate's gang's picture-perfect holiday came after her recent trip to Ibiza Credit: BackGrid

TikTok singer hailed as next Amy Winehouse takes over Ed Sheeran's stage
Her career is just beginning and she has already worked with Ed Sheeran, scored two Top 20 singles and been called the next Amy Winehouse - but who is the rising star, Skye Newman? If you've spent any time on TikTok or tuned into the radio lately, you've probably heard Skye Newman's voice or at least her name. The 21‑year‑old South London singer‑songwriter has been building up some well‑deserved buzz over the past few months with her neo‑soul sound and honest, vulnerable lyrics, earning her two UK Top 20 singles. Fans have even started comparing her to the late Amy Winehouse - a sign of just how much she's connecting with listeners. While many people have only discovered the rising star recently, Skye has been working towards this moment for years, using social media to showcase her singing skills. Now, she's having her breakthrough: standout debuts at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend, and just this weekend, Ed Sheeran brought her out as a guest on night two of his Portman Road shows. Who is Skye Newman? At a time when more singers than ever are putting out music, Skye brings something not all stars manage - vulnerability. Music seems to be her way of getting everything off her chest, and she did just that in her debut single, Hairdresser, making history as the first UK female solo artist in over a decade to see both her debut single and follow‑up Family Matters reach the UK Top 20. For more stories like this subscribe to our weekly newsletter, The Weekly Gulp, for a curated roundup of trending stories, poignant interviews, and viral lifestyle picks from The Mirror's Audience U35 team delivered straight to your inbox. Hairdresser climbed to number 16, while Family Matters debuted at number 8 - a remarkable accomplishment for a newcomer. Fans on TikTok have flooded the app with videos explaining how relatable Family Matters feels - something Skye herself recognises as bittersweet. 'That song is very personal to me, but I also feel so universal as well,' she said in a recent interview. 'I'm a council estate girl and I've seen and dealt with a lot of things at such a young age. 'It makes me happy and sad that people relate, obviously sad for the sake of people understanding that feeling and having dealt with that pain, but happy that I can write something that makes them feel at ease that they're not alone with that issue.' One lyric that particularly resonated with listeners is: 'A line meant two things since I was like 5, starved cause his words but at least I'm alive, it is what it is - you call it traumatic but it is what it is, it's just family matters.' Her unflinching honesty about family struggles has resonated deeply with many, with TikTok users opening up about similar experiences in their own lives. Who has Skye Newman performed with? Now reaching audiences around the world, Skye continues to connect with her fans through regular social media posts, sharing singing videos and milestones. After performing with Ed Sheeran, she posted: 'Getting ready to go out out with Ed Sheeran, I feel beyond blessed and honoured to be able to experience that yesterday.' But her performance with Ed was just the beginning: she's set to tour with Lewis Capaldi in September - something she says she 'never imagined,' having grown up singing his songs as a teenager. With a new single dropping on July 18 - her third release in under four months and momentum building, it's clear Skye Newman is a name we'll be hearing for a long time to come. Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you!

Jet2 voiceover woman is actually a soap star and fans are 'rocked to the core'
Jess Glynne isn't the only celeb who features on the Jet2 adverts and fans of Hollyoaks, Midsomer Murders and Staff Room will certainly recognise the voice when they're told! TV viewers have been 'rocked to their core' after discovering that the cheery Jet2 holidays voiceover woman is a former soap star. The incessant ads - which famously push bargain deals to the soundtrack of Jess Glynne 's hit song Hold My Hand - have been running for years, but many have only just learned who is informing us about the offers. The lady who is enthusiastically telling is that 'nothing beats a Jet2 holiday' is Zoe Lister, a former regular on Hollyoaks. She played Zoe Carpenter on the Channel 4 soap from 2006 to 2010, before making a brief return in April 2017. Now she's got a very different life, and earns cash by telling us all about the sun-soaked trips would could be taking. The 43-year-old actress has also had roles in Midsomer Murders and Staff Room. It all came to light after That's TV Thames Valley interviewed her this weekend. On X they wrote: "A Maidenhead woman has become a viral sensation as hundreds of thousands of people use her voice in social media videos. That's TV spoke with Zoë Lister, the voice of the Jet2 promotion video, advertising package holidays." Fans were quick to release where they knew her from, and she explained how the the voiceover work was initially only for a 'small campaign' which begun during the Love Island partnership four years ago. She said: "I was just employed to do the bumpers, like, something to do with 'Get a flight if you enter this competition', that sort of thing. "Then they were like, 'Oh, actually, we'll have your voice for the whole campaign'. And that's just been rolling ever since every year, which has been incredible. It feels like silly joy, which is what people need right now, I think. It's not serious, it's light hearted.' "It feels so bizarre, but I do love it, because people are sending me videos all the time,' she said. 'I love the creativity. People are just really funny. For the next generation, the generation Z that has made it what it is, it reminds them of days gone by adverts, when they were little." The responses showed the shock from fans. "I'm sorry – Zoe Carpenter from Hollyoaks is *the* Jet2 lady!? Did we all know this??" one wrote as another put: '"This revelation has rocked me to my core." A third person said: "The woman from the most iconic parachute jump scene in living history? Oh my daysssss." Fans of Jess who have flown with the budget airline will also know they play the song on repeat before takeoff, to the annoyance of many passengers. But the singer from London mocked her own tune by posing a video to Twitter from her performance at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in 2023. The 35-year-old captioned the video: "Who's ready for me to ruin their summer holiday?". Filmed by someone in the crowd, the clip shows Jess on stage saying: "Welcome to Jess Glynne Airways," before she goes into the intro of Hold My Hand, to massive cheers from the crowd.

Inside Lenny Henry's life including ending 25-year marriage to Dawn French
Sir Lenny Henry is one of the stars appearing in new ITV series Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters and he has had an impressive career Sir Lenny Henry, a familiar face on our telly for years, has built an impressive career as a comedian, writer, and actor. The 66 year old is perhaps most recognised for hosting The Lenny Henry Show, and co-founding Comic Relief with Richard Curtis, which led to the inception of Red Nose Day. His latest telly project sees him revealing more about his personal life, including his childhood, as he's set to feature on Alison Hammond's Big Weekend. The programme will see the duo spending the day together in West London, delving into Lenny's past. Here, we explore the comedian's life, from his diverse career to his marriage to Dawn French.... Lenny Henry's childhood Lenny was born in Dudley in August 1958 to parents Winston and Winifred. His full name is Lenworth George Henry, and he was named after the doctor who delivered him at Burton Road Hospital, reports Surrey Live. He is the fifth of seven children and was the first child of the family to be born in the UK. Lenny eventually discovered his biological father to be a man named Albert Augustus Green, known as Bertie, with whom his mother had a brief relationship when she first arrived in England from Jamaica. Lenny attended St John's Primary School and The Blue Coat School in Dudley before continuing his studies at W. College in Preston. Lenny Henry's career Lenny's career took off performing stand-up routines in working men's clubs, with his first telly appearance in 1975 on the New Faces talent show. His spot-on impersonations won him the competition. He then joined The Comic Strip and the team at BBC Radio 1, continuing to make appearances on the box. The Lenny Henry Show made its debut on the Beeb in 1984 and ran for a whopping 19 years. In 1985, Lenny co-founded the charity Comic Relief with Richard Curtis, with the inaugural Red Nose Day taking place three years later. Over the years, Lenny has graced our screens in TV shows such as The Syndicate and Doctor. He's also lent his voice to characters in the children's TV show Big and Small and participated in game shows like The Masked Singer. Off the telly, he's penned two autobiographies and a pair of young adult fantasy books, co-produced the blues album New Millennium Blues, and taken centre stage in theatre productions. Lenny Henry's marriage to Dawn French Lenny crossed paths with Dawn in 1980 when they were both part of the comedy show Comic Strip. Four years on, the couple said their vows in a beautiful ceremony in London's Covent Garden, followed by a lavish do. In 1991, Lenny and Dawn welcomed their daughter Billie, who they adopted at just two weeks old. Now 34, Billie tends to steer clear of the limelight. Back in 2010, Dawn and Lenny announced the end of their marriage, releasing a statement that read: "The separation is entirely amicable and they fully intend to maintain their close friendship. Their priority is to commit to the future joint parenting of their daughter." While both have maintained a good friendship post-split, speaking fondly of each other in public interviews, Lenny opened up about the dynamics of their breakup in a telling 2016 interview. Speaking to the Daily Express, later he reflected: "There's generally a situation where one partner wants the marriage to finish more than the other. "I think maybe one of us did, then the other one did, and then the other did over a period of time, and then, in the end, we thought, 'Oh, actually maybe we both do'. We knew it wasn't possible to continue." Lenny Henry's marriage to Lisa Makin But love blossomed once again for Lenny when he began dating Lisa Makin in 2012. As a successful casting director and theatre producer credited on projects like Peaches and Aberfan: The Untold Story, Lisa keeps a low profile despite attending star-studded events with Lenny. On the other hand, Dawn has since remarried, tying the knot with therapist Mark Bignell, while she and Lenny jointly parent their daughter, demonstrating that all parties have moved forward positively.
