Molly Smith looks sensational as she shows off her toned figure in a blue bikini on the French Riveria
Molly Smith looked sensational as she showed off her toned figure during a trip to the French Riveria on Tuesday. The Love Island star, 31, stunned in a powder blue bikini, consisting of a triangle top and tie side bottoms. Posing for a series of photos during a boat trip, she layered over a matching shirt and accessorised with a straw cowboy hat. 'Sailing the French Riveria,' she captioned her Instagram update. Molly recently hit back at troll who claimed her body was 'unrealistic' and 'everything that's wrong with the world' in a shocking comment. 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. The former Love Island star, who is a qualified personal trainer, recently shared a series of bikini-clad snaps and showed off her toned abs. But the Instagram update came underfire, with one person saying that Molly's post was 'unforgivably damaging' and merely a ploy to 'sell fitness programmes.' Re-sharing the TV personality's post, the troll wrote: 'Everything what is wrong with the world is above. Summer uniform? Summer body ready? 'I'm well immersed in the fitness space trust me - I believe in keeping healthy and fit. I believe you cannot put a price on your health etc. 'But posts like this from 'influencers' are unforgivably damaging. Can we not learn to use words and phrases that are less damaging to mental health?' They concluded: 'AGAIN, nothing wrong with being in shape or whatever - I own a gym but f me, just speechless - leaving unrealistic images to sell programmes. Get me outta here.' Molly responded: 'So l got tagged in this, firstly l'd like to start by saying 'unrealistic images'?! It's me and my real body. How is it unrealistic? 'I'm sharing how I train, sharing help and advice to anyone who wants it. If not scroll past. I'm showing how hard work and dedication can show results.' 'Sailing the French Riveria,' she captioned her Instagram update She continued: 'Saying it's unrealistic is completely mind blowing - everything I do from training etc is completely real and there's no shortcuts. Im literally sharing my real life and routine. 'Secondly, from someone who 'owns a gym' to share such negativity on another woman who likes fitness and well being I find it shocking to try and negatively spin that. 'I hope you don't treat your clients / customers with such comments. Surely you should be supporting? 'I'm not putting a price on health, but what I am doing is sharing my plans for those who wish to buy, sharing knowledge and advice for those who want it.' She added: 'Let's just re address the 'unrealistic images' comment because 'f me' how is my real body and images unrealistic?!!!! 'You should know every body is different and we all have individual goals that we want to achieve. 'Instead of zoning in on how my body is shaped why not see the hard work that's gone into me creating a healthier lifestyle. I hope your clients / customers aren't judged when they walk into your gym.' Molly, who first found fame on ITV2's Love Island in 2020, retrained to become a personal trainer in 2023.

Fitness guru Molly Smith on the massage gun that massively 'helped recovery' after her marathon
Love Island All Stars winner Molly Smith has shared the massage gun she used to help her post-marathon recovery, and it's currently got 21% off at Amazon With the London Marathon done for another year, runners' focus is all on how to quickly recover from the gruelling event. If you're looking for a way to speed up your post-run recovery (or even just need a way to ease your muscles after the gym) then fitness fanatic Molly Smith has got the answer. The winner of Love Island All Stars is known for her love of fitness, and ran a half marathon just a few weeks ago. To help any Instagam followers struggling with post-run muscle aches, she shared that the Zerolia Deep Tissue Massage Gun was a must-have for recovery. Sharing a snap of the massage gun on Instagram, Molly wrote: 'My runners I would highly recommend one of these, it helped my recovery last time.' She also added: 'Just checked and it's currently on offer too!' The Zerolia Deep Tissue Massage Gun is usually priced at £26.71, but is currently on offer with 21% off, slashing it down to £21.06. The lightweight massage gun is perfect for helping accelerate muscle recovery, encourage blood flow and relieve muscle pain. It has 30 different speed settings which range from 1800 to 3600 percussions per minute, and these are easy to alter depending on which muscle you're targeting and how sore it is. The Zerolia Massage Gun has noise reduction technology, so it's not too intrusive to use, and gives you six hours of use on a single charge, making it ideal for taking on the go. As well as the range of speeds, the Zerolia Deep Tissue Massage Gun comes with 10 different massage heads to suit different parts of the body. The different shapes help target different muscles and surface areas, as well as helping get into trickier to reach places and angles. Plenty of Amazon shoppers have praised it too, with one saying: 'I have been very impressed with the quality of this massage gun. It is very easy to use, the variety of different attachments available is ideal, and the effect on the targeted muscles after just a few minutes use is definitely noticeable. It helps with pain relief too. Added to this the very long battery life, and all-in-all it has been a very worthwhile purchase.' Another agreed: 'Love this!!! so easy to use and really helps the legs after a long run. lasts for ages after a full charge and has tons of different attachments. Quality product.' One reviewer did mention: 'Does what it says on the tin and tbf it's for the price it works fine, you do get what you pay for though and the battery is too small, the quotes up to 6 hours is only on level 1. The handle gets hot when it's been used for 20 odd minutes.' If you want to invest a little more money in your massage gun, the Homedics NOVO Mini Massage Gun is £59.99 and perfect for using on the go thanks to its handy mini travel size. You can also pick up Therabody's range of massage tools, which range from a small hand held device to one that offers heating and LED alongside massage to help boost recovery.
