Vogue Williams flaunts her toned figure in tiny patterned bikini as she enjoys sun-soaked beach day with chiselled husband Spencer Matthews during family getaway in Spain
Vogue Williams showcased her jaw-dropping figure in a tiny bikini as she enjoyed a day at the beach on Tuesday, during her Spanish getaway with husband Spencer Matthews and their three children. The Irish presenter, 39, flaunted her slender frame in a bold patterned two-piece as she took a dip in the sea to cool off, displaying her long legs and toned midriff. While former Made In Chelsea star Spencer, 36, gave his wife a run for her money, as he showed off his ripped physique and six-pack in black swimming trunks. Elevating her summer chic look and keeping safe from the sun, Vogue added a sophisticated straw hat and lilac sunglasses. The couple have been seen having a whale of a time on their sun-soaked holiday with their three kids, Theodore, six, Gigi, four, and three-year-old Otto. On Sunday, Vogue took to her Instagram to share an insight into their trip with a slew of sweet snaps of the family together. In one snap, the podcaster can be seen wearing a black and white two-piece as she cradled Otto, before also picking up her daughter Gigi. Meanwhile Spencer got in on the action and could be seen kissing his little girl on the cheek as the family enjoyed some downtime. Alongside her holiday post, she penned: 'I've counted down the days until we got here'. The trip comes after Vogue admitted she's going to be an 'absolute disgrace' ahead of her 40th birthday party this year. Reflecting on how far she has come after finding herself 'divorced with no kids' at 30, the presenter said she was 'excited' about hitting the milestone. Exactly 10 years ago, Vogue was in a very different place in her life, having just announced that she and Westlife singer Brian McFadden were separating after three years of marriage. In an interview with Heat released this week, she said: 'When I approached my 30th, I was like, "Whoops, I'm divorced and have no kids." 'I thought I'd have kids, be married and happy by then. We put so much pressure on ourselves at that age.' On Sunday, Vogue took to her Instagram to share an insight into their trip with a slew of sweet snaps of the family together Vogue continued: 'But I'm really excited about going into my 40s. I've got such great friends and family. I feel like I've got to a point where I love what I'm doing and doing things I'm proud of. 'If I'd seen what I was doing now 20 years ago, I would have been amazed. It's a privilege to turn 40, and I'm just getting started! 'I'm going to be an absolute disgrace! I'm going to celebrate throughout the year – a big party in Dublin in August and a party in London.' It comes after the Irish star got candid with Mail columnist Bryony Gordon in May, as she revealed she 'thought her life was over' after after her divorce from Brian in 2017 aged 31. She told the Mail's 'The Life of Bryony' podcast: 'I am excited at turning forty. When you are 19 or 20, you think that 40-year-olds are really old and battered. Then you actually get there and you think, this is a really nice moment. 'In your thirties, you are still trying to figure stuff out. I remember being divorced at 31 and thinking, I've ruined my life. I am never going to have kids, I am never going to do what I always wanted to do.' 'Then you see how your life actually starts to unfold – that's why it feels exciting to move into your forties.' In her eagerly awaited autobiography Big Mouth, Vogue details her struggles with anxiety that have cast a shadow throughout her adulthood. She told Bryony she manages the disorder far better now, with a 'great' and supportive family behind her. However, the model admitted that the 'noise' surrounding her marriage to TV star Spencer still manages to get under her skin. On her anxiety, Vogue explained: 'It's this thing in your life that you wish would just go away. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's a lot worse. 'When I wake up, I am really conscious of any mood I could be in. It's why I don't drink much now because that is something for me that is a huge trigger of anxiety. 'I will always have beta-blockers in the cupboard, but I rarely take them. It depends on what's happening in my life. 'For me now, it's more the outside noise of my job and people outside of my family that stress me out. 'In this industry, certain people are very much out for themselves. The way they portray themselves isn't true - it's not actually who they are.'

The newlyweds first met in 2016 before the Irishman popped the question in December 2019. Brian McFadden and Danielle Parkinson. Photo: Instagram Brian, who had been introduced by singer Cole Paige to Danielle, a former high school PE teacher, had to wait for the big day as they were forced to postpone the wedding due to Covid lockdowns.

"My ex, Brian McFadden, got married earlier this month and I just want to wish him and his wife Danielle a lifetime of happiness,' she told New! Magazine.

Following their divorce in 2004, Kerry publicity criticised Brian over his fatherly duties, but now she has expressed regret over her relationship with the former Westlife singer. 'I wish Brian and I could have stayed friends,' Kerry wrote in her OK! Magazine column last month. Referring to how Molly, the couple's eldest daughter, had gone to watch him at a festival, she said she would have 'loved to have gone with her'.

Kerry Katona sent private message to Brian McFadden's new wife on their wedding day
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Nearly 20 years on from her acrimonious split with Brian McFadden, Kerry Katona has disclosed that she reached out to the Westlife star's new bride, Danielle Parkinson, on their big day earlier this month. Kerry, who is mum to Molly and Lilly-Sue with Brian, shared in her New! Magazine column that she sent a congratulatory text to Danielle on the morning of her wedding - this came shortly after reports suggested the former couple would 'never be mates'. "My ex, Brian McFadden, got married earlier this month and I just want to wish him and his wife Danielle a lifetime of happiness," Kerry wrote in her column. In response to claims that she had 'burned all bridges' with Brian, she retorted: "I find it sad though that as he gets married, everyone writes stories about me." (Image: brianmcfadden123/instagram) She added: "His wedding has nothing to do with me at all. I texted Danielle to wish them a happy day– it looked like a beautiful celebration and I hope they had a ball." While Kerry's two eldest daughters were present at the wedding, she didn't comment on whether they enjoyed the festivities. Alongside Molly and Lilly, Kerry also shares children Heidi and Max with ex-husband Mark Croft, and daughter DJ with her late third husband George Kay. Kerry extending an olive branch to Brian and Danielle follows what has been a rocky history between the exes, with Kerry previously criticising Brian for being a 's**t dad' to their girls. "He was a s**t dad. I'm the one who provides for them," she claimed on a podcast in 2023. These public outbursts have reportedly put a strain on their co-parenting efforts, according to an insider last week. (Image: Getty Images) The source told The Sun: "Kerry has burnt her bridges with Brian, thanks to years of speaking out of turn. She's got a heart of gold but a big mouth and that has always been her downfall. "Kerry has a bad habit of not thinking before she speaks and it's landed her in hot water with Brian on many occasions. She'll say something publicly that is either outrageous or something she should have kept private between them and it gets her in trouble." Nonetheless, just days prior to these reports, Kerry expressed her desire to mend fences, saying she would 'love' to be friends with him. "I wish Brian and I could have stayed friends." (Image: Photo by)) "Molly went to watch him at a festival last week," Kerry added. "I would have loved to have gone with her. It would be great to have a better relationship," she said. Brian, on the other hand, seldom mentions Kerry and has been seen to be making a concerted effort to avoid discussing her. In last year's BBC documentary, Boybands Forever. In an awkward moment, the interviewer began asking Brian a question about his ex, starting to say: "Marrying Kerry, you're sort of..." only for Brian to cut in sharply: "I don't want to talk about her, no. Definitely no."
