Braless Miquita Oliver, 41, turns heads in a sheer knitted mini dress while posing for racy snaps
Miquita Oliver turned up the heat with her latest Instagram post on Tuesday. The TV personality, 40, decided to give her followers a treat as she posed up a storm in a sheer beige knitted mini dress. The sizzle dress left little to the imagination as she flashed her nipples and showed off her sensational figure. She covered her modesty with a black pair of underwear and finished the look with black pumps. Miquita captioned the sexy snaps: 'Making it work at mum's house.' 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 Miquita revealed she had a secret abortion at the age of 24 after being 'too scared and embarrassed' to tell her ex. The TV star, who co-hosts Miss Me? podcast with her best friend Lily Allen, confessed she got the termination just a day before going back to work. At the time Miquita was presenting the Fashion Rocks event on T4 on Channel 4, according to The Sun. In an episode on their Miss Me? podcast, she said: 'I remember I worked at Fashion Rocks, at the Royal Albert Hall, for T4, Lily was there performing. 'All these popstars would come and sing with a brand, but I'd had an abortion the day before. It was really quite serious, and I was only 24. 'And I thought "you can't do that to Fashion Rocks, who is going to host the T4 coverage?" That was some next level type of cramps walking around the Royal Albert Hall. 'It was a very weird day. I was really quite heavily pregnant with my ex and I was just so embarrassed and so scared he wouldn't want to go out with me anymore. So I kept it to myself until now.' Last year, Miquita revealed she was 'attending therapy sessions drunk' at the height of her alcoholism as she candidly discussed her struggle. The presenter previously admitted to 'losing everything' to bankruptcy and booze when she was unable to pay a £174,000 tax bill back in 2012. Speaking her Miss Me? podcast, she opened up about their experiences with therapy. One listener called in to asked if there was a particular event that made them start therapy. Miquita admitted: 'I started going to a therapist when I was deep in my alcoholism in my early thirties and it didn't work because I was going to my sessions drunk. 'That is a whole different level of performative therapy. I was trying to pretend that I hadn't been drinking.' She continued: 'That really did feel pointless and because of how awful I realised that going to therapy drunk was that led me to stop drinking for a little bit. 'But then I found a really good therapist who did help me change my life, and continue to change my life.' Addressing her bankruptcy on BBC Three programme Young, British & Broke in 2013, she said she was so ashamed about her financial troubles that she didn't tell anybody for two years. She said: 'At 17 I was earning money I didn't know how to handle and before I knew it I owed thousands to the taxman. 'I just felt like I couldn't breathe and that I was sinking. I was so scared about my future and I didn't tell anyone for 2 years. 'When I was declared bankrupt it felt like I was in a financial mess I would never get out of.' Lily and Miquita grew up in the limelight, and spent their younger years partying incessantly, something which they have openly discussed on their podcast. They have been there for each other through many tough times but one area where they haven't been so loyal is men. On their podcast Miquita spoke of a particularly sticky time, which came before Lily's music fame, when the presenter had a crush. Taking listeners back to the early noughties when she was hosting Popworld, Channel 4's Sunday morning music show, Miquita said: 'There was a pop star. 'I found out that he fancied me. I told Lily that I liked him. Cue, Lily gets herself to a festival in Japan and seduces him.' Lily hadn't broken through as an artist yet so instead got a job in artist relations to get backstage for the gig. The conversation on their podcast got tense as Lily questioned whether Miquita had ever made her feelings clear for the man. Lily admitted she flew to Japan to 'lock that one in', adding: 'I fancied him, so I was getting mine. By the way, I think pop stars are fair game, like, I don't care.' The pair laughed as they recalled the incident, however Miquita revealed that she didn't speak to Lily for six months after it happened.

Lily Allen shares a glimpse inside her wholesome 40th birthday bash as she celebrates with close friends despite facing 'tricky circumstances'
Lily Allen celebrated her 40th birthday this week surrounded by her closest friends and family and gave a glimpse into her day on Instagram. The singer, who split from husband David Harbout late last year, snapped a picture of her gorgeous sprint-themed birthday cake as she thanked her nearest and dearest for helping her celebrate under 'tricky circumstances'. The cake was covered in white icing with 'Lily 40' piped onto the middle in light pink. The edges were decorated with berries, figs, passion fruit and flowers before it was dusted with icing sugar. She wrote: 'Thank you to all my beauty friends and family who showed up for me and made my birthday a special one under some tricky circumstances. Love you all'. Among the guests at her intimate party included fashion designers Kim Jones OBE and Katie Hillier, close pal and podcast co-host Miquita Oliver, Phoebe Oliver, Gracie Allen and chef Andi Oliver, Miquita's mother. Lily was seen setting up her wholesome bash as she laid out a stunning floral backyard table for the party. British painter Lucien Freud's daughter, Rose Boyt, shared snaps from the big day and one showed Lily in blue jeans, a shirt and a brown quarter zip jump as she stood in front of her cake with several candles on top. 'The birthday of my god-daughter @lilyallen. What a woman,' Rose said. 'Obviously at her christening when I stood there in the church with my fingers crossed behind my back and swore that I loved God and nobody smote me with their sword or whatever I had no idea that that small beloved child was going to turn into such a marvel. 'Still as beloved, still as beautiful, still as creative, imaginative and bold. So happy to be on her team.' On Lily's actual birthday, the Smile hitmaker took to her Instagram page to share her look for the day, which included a daring sheer strappy top. Lily showed off the results of her recent boob job in a sheer blue top as she posed for a number of selfies before heading out for brunch with friends. The singer looked incredible as she went braless under the daring strappy see-through number which she teamed with a pair of eye catching green trousers. Lily looked beautiful as she pulled on a chic green and lilac knitted cardigan and elevated her frame in a pair colourful patterned heels. Styling her red tresses loose, the actress toted her belongings in a leopard print handbag and rocked a pair of sunglasses as she enjoyed the British heatwave. Lily linked arms with a pal as she headed to brunch at Canteen in Notting Hill to celebrate her milestone birthday. 'Happy birthday to me', wrote the Dreamland star. Back in March, Lily revealed she had an 'incredible' boob job the month before and had been out buying sexy new lingerie to show it off. But while she loves the new boobs, she says they don't really match her then 39-year-old face. She told her close friend Miquita Oliver on their Miss Me? podcast: 'How do I feel about ageing? Well, I just got some additions to the family - don't know if you'd noticed?' Oliver told her: 'I noticed because you pulled your top off a month ago and showed them to me. I was like 'absolutely incredible'.' Allen continued: 'They look really incredible when I take my top off, and my bra off, but there's definitely a contrast in age between my breasts and my face 'I'm like 40, 18, 40, 18. 'I'm just thinking 'maybe I get the BBL (Brazilian butt lift) next'. I quite want the bum.' Lily added on her new boobs: 'There's a thing that happens a few months after you get them which is they drop and fluff. 'So they're still quite high and they're still quite hard. When they drop and fluff they feel like normal boobs. 'So I haven't got to drop and fluff yet, I'm very much looking forward to that. 'I feel like it's really fun. I'm like buying fancy lingerie that my boobs can actually fit in and taking pictures on my phone. 'Haven't sent them to anyone yet, but it will hopefully get there at some point. 'On my 40th birthday I'm going to drop and fluff.' It comes after Lily enjoyed a pamper day in New York last week while ex David Harbour was all smiles with his Thunderbolts* co-stars at the London photocall. The couple separated late last year after Lily speculated that David was using Raya and shortly after The Mail revealed the Stranger Things star, 50, had been having an affair for three years during his marriage. David has since returned to the UK for the first time since his split from wife Lily as he promoted his new Marvel movie. Meanwhile, in complete juxtaposition, Lily took to her Instagram Stories and revealed she was having a pamper day. Lily, who has two daughters with first husband Sam Cooper, wed David in Las Vegas in 2020 a year after they met on Raya. The couple moved from London to New York, where she enrolled her children in school. David bought a house in Atlanta, Georgia, last year to be closer to the Stranger Things set. The couple separated late last year after the singer, whose songs include the hit Smile, speculated that David was using Raya. The Mail on Sunday reported that she turned detective by joining the app herself, pretending to be 'looking for women', and allegedly found that he had set up a new dating profile. Lily, who met David on celebrity dating app Raya, was said to have been left in 'agony' when she discovered her husband had secretly rejoined the app.
