Millie Mackintosh shows off her toned figure in a skimpy cream bikini after admitting she wishes she got bigger breast implants
Millie Mackintosh stripped down to a tiny cream bikini in a sizzling Instagram clip. The former Made In Chelsea star, 36, displayed her physique in the gorgeous two-piece while soaking up the sun during a lavish family holiday. The author showed off her endless legs, adding chic white shades and a large straw hat. The doting mum-of-two, who is married to Hugo Taylor, celebrated her birthday with her loved ones just over the weekend as they whisked off for a summer trip. While Millie looked as confident as ever in the clip, she recently confessed she sometimes wishes she got bigger breast implants. Reflecting on her boob job in an Instagram video last week, Millie said her implants feel completely natural and she often forgets they're there at all. The former Made In Chelsea star displayed her toned curves in the gorgeous two-piece while soaking up the sun during a lavish family holiday 'I think there is so much judgement out there and people feel like they can't talk about it. For me, what I wanted to create was what I had before kids,' she said. 'I didn't want to create something that was really unnatural on my frame. I think it's such a personal decision but I had a folder of boobs in my phone. 'I would just be obsessed with boobs. Looking at other people's boobs thinking, would that look good on me? I wanted small, pert round boobs like I used to have in my 20s when I was on the pill. 'After I had kids they grew so much when I was breatfeeding but I waited a year to see if they would come back to life and they didn't.' Millie went for one of the smallest implant sizes you can get, but admitted she sometimes wishes she had opted for something bigger. 'I wanted to do it for myself, it wasn't anything I felt pressured to do by anyone else. My surgeon is called Paul Harris, he is honestly an artist,' she said. 'I actually ended up going smaller than what my surgeon recommended because I was too scared of them looking unnatural. 'He recommended going for 200cc's or 220cc's and I ended up going for 175 which are pretty much the smallest implants they make. If I had any regrets, sometimes I wish they were bigger - I think they are the right size for my frame.' In recent days, Millie opened up about her dog helps keep her sober after she spent years battling alcohol issues. She spoke openly about her issues with alcohol before going sober in 2022, and has since released a book about her struggles, entitled Bad Drunk. And now in an interview with the Sunday Times, she has explained how owning her pug, Luna, as given her an additional focus. She said: 'When you have a dog you're not waking up with a hangover, you're waking up and going for a walk along the river or meeting up with other dog owners. 'Having Luna helps me talk to people; I can be quite socially awkward. And I find when you've got a dog and another person's got a dog, you just have something to talk about.' Millie, who is married to former Made In Chelsea co-star Hugo Taylor and is a mother to two daughters, admitted she 'barely recognises the person she used to be' as she shared a 'drunken' throwback snap in a candid Instagram post. She went sober more than two years ago following the realisation that she had become an 'angry' drunk. As an MIC original, Millie's early scenes on the show often revolved around partying and drinking leading to flare-ups with fellow cast members which she has since claimed got in the way of her relationships. Continuing to raise awareness of sobriety and how much her life has changed for the good since going alcohol free, Millie wrote: 'Now vs. Then. 'Looking back ten years, I barely recognise the person I used to be—drinking heavily, always hungover, and completely lost. 'I was stuck in a cycle of self-medicating, not realising that the change I so badly needed was waiting for me on the other side of discomfort. 'Choosing an alcohol-free life has been the best decision I've ever made. It's the ultimate life hack—realising that I have the power to say no. 'Not because I have to, but because I get to. Sobriety isn't a sacrifice; it's a privilege, a gift I've given to myself, and one I'll never take for granted. 'The journey from bad drunk to alcohol-free has been the most transformative thing I've ever done. And hearing from so many of you who are on this path too means so much. 'Your messages about my book and your own experiences remind me why this conversation is so important. 'If you're navigating this too, know that you're not alone—we're in this together. How are you feeling about your own journey right now? Let's chat. ✨' Millie decided to go and see a sober coach, who helped her and has now steered clear of booze for more than two years.

Cotswold town where JD Vance will holiday with his family is 'revealed': US Vice President will 'visit charming market town with quintessential English character' when he stays this summer
The Cotswold town where JD Vance is set to visit on his family holiday has been 'revealed'. The US Vice President is set to visit Oxfordshire this August for his annual holiday alongside his wife Usha and their three children Ewan Blaine, Vivek and Mirabel. Fashion journalist and socialite Plum Sykes told BBC Radio 4's PM programme that the family would be staying in Charlbury. Ms Sykes claimed to know 'the whole story' about Vance renting a house in the Cotswolds. She said: 'There has been this mass exodus from America to the Cotswolds because it's an English fantasy of the countryside. 'But it's so glamorous and it's sort of very hot because one person goes, Ellen [DeGeneres] goes. 'The fact that JD Vance has rented this house in Charlbury I have to say I secretly know the whole story, but I can't tell you. 'It's just so hot and so trendy and so fashionable... it's an incredibly beautiful area because it's being protected, almost like a national park that you can live in. 'Americans cannot get over the charm but since Covid it's been refashioned with all the pleasures of London, Paris and New York.' Earlier this year, Charlbury was named as one of the best places to live in Oxfordshire, among the other towns of Henley and Burford. While staying in the town, Vance could visit the Charlbury Museum, which was founded in 1949 and has a range of crafts and industries on display. Ellen DeGeneres said she will not be in the area to greet the Vice-President and has hastily agreed a holiday to avoid him. It was reported that Mr Vance was keen to visit Ellen's beloved local The Bull at Charlbury, which she has visited with Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field. Last week it was revealed she is selling one of her two Cotswolds properties for a cool £22.5million – £7.5million more than she paid for it. She moved to the Cotswolds following her showbiz retirement and 'to get away from Donald Trump' after he became president. 'We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis and I was like, 'He got in',' she said. 'And we're like, 'We're staying here then'.' The US VP joins Beyonce and Jay-Z and Taylor Swift as fans of the bucolic area's chocolate-box villages, honeyed-stone, rolling hills and cosy pubs. The US politician's family breaks have already racked up disharmony during his short time serving in office. Last week, Disneyland visitors were left outraged after Vance shut down rides so he could enjoy them with his children. The Vice President strolled through Disneyland in Los Angeles, California, hand-in-hand with two of his children, Vivek and Mirabel, last Saturday - with a vast Secret Service security detail alongside them. Barricades went up outside popular rides including Pirates of the Caribbean as K9 units stood guard - with an entourage of 50 bodyguards and Disney personnel said to be involved in the visit. Mr Vance and his family are expected to arrive in Britain soon after the President's five-day stay in Scotland. The Stop Trump Coalition has outlined plans to greet Mr Trump with banners and flags along roads and a beachside message visible from the sky. Further action is intended for his proposed state visit expected to take place in September. It has signalled similar opposition to Mr Vance's British break, with a spokesman saying: 'We are meeting Trump with protests in Aberdeen and Edinburgh this month, and then in London and Windsor in September. 'JD Vance is every bit as unwelcome in the UK as Donald Trump. The prospect of such a heavy security presence in the winding rural roads of The Cotswolds is likely to spark logjams in an already overly congested area of the UK. 'We remember how Vance cut short his ski trip in Vermont because he was so enraged by the sight of a few protesters. 'We are sure that, even in the Cotswolds, he will find the resistance waiting.' The Vice-President strolled through Disneyland in Los Angeles, California, hand-in-hand with two of his children, Vivek and Mirabel, last Saturday - with a vast Secret Service security detail alongside them. In a speech in February, Mr Vance highlighted an SNP government law banning protest near abortion clinics, which critics said could be used to target people praying in their own homes, as an example of an attack on freedom of speech. Mr Vance claimed people who live within safe access zones had been sent letters by the Scottish Government warning them about praying in their homes. The Scottish Government had insisted that Mr Vance's claim was 'incorrect'.

Kelsey Parker breaks social media silence to share family photo as she heads off on holiday a month after tragically losing her third child
Kelsey Parker has taken a much-needed family holiday one month after tragically losing her third child. Tom Parker 's widow sadly suffered heartbreak in June after her unborn baby - Kelsey's first with boyfriend Will Lindsay - was 'born sleeping.' The last month has been incredibly tough for the family-of-four after the devastating news, with Kelsey sharing that they have taken some needed time out. Taking to Instagram on Sunday, she shared a family photo as she, Will and her two children with Tom - Aurelia, six, and Bodhi, four - looked out to sea in a hot location. Kelsey didn't confirm where they were, but she shouted out budget-friendly airline Jet2 for making the process so easy. The doting mum simply wrote: 'Exactly what we needed. Thank you @jet2 for making it so easy. X' In the comments section, she was showered with love by other stars, including Brooke Vincent and Gogglebox's Lisa Baggs. Last month, Kelsey took to Instagram to share her heartbreaking news. She confirmed the loss of her unborn third child, a son she had planned to name Phoenix, one week before his planned due date. Breaking the news in a poem, she wrote: 'The world grew quiet as you arrived, So loved, so longed for, yet not alive. Our precious boy, our angel light, Born with wings, took silent flight'. 'We named you Phoenix, brave and bright. A soul of love, of warmth and light Though we never heard you cry, You'll live in hearts that won't ask why. 'No breath you drew, no eyes to see, Still, you mean everything to me. You'll journey with us, softly near, in every sigh, in every tear. Taking to her Instagram stories: she added: 'Before I receive an influx of lovely messages and heartfelt wishes, I wanted to just say that I truly appreciate everything you are all going to say and share. 'But with the news being so raw, I would really like to ensure that we as a family are given space and time to process this devastating and earth-shattering news. 'I love you all and thank you for your understanding and space. Love always, Kelsey, Will, and the Parker Family'. Kelsey was left devastated after husband Tom lost his battle with brain cancer, but found love again last year, meeting Kent tree surgeon Will on a night out and announced their romance in September. The podcaster later admitted to being targeted by online trolls for moving on with her new partner. Speaking on ITV's Lorraine, in their first joint interview together in March, she explained: 'It's been three years, this is Tom's three year anniversary of his death and it's almost like people want me to feel guilty for moving on.' She added: 'I'm always going to have guilt but what's so hard is that Tom's not here anymore so what do people want me to do?', 'Our house was full of so much sadness but now it's full of happiness, the kids deserve that more than anything. 'They've been through so much, I feel like we are taking the steps forward to heal but I just want other women to feel like it's OK to move on, it's not taking anything away from the love I had for Tom.'

Romeo Beckham and sister Harper Beckham step out in St Tropez on family getaway - as they narrowly avoid Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz amid ongoing rift
Romeo Beckham and his sister Harper headed out for a low-key dinner in St Tropez on Friday evening during their family holiday to the South of France. The model, 22, and his younger sister, 14, appeared to have narrowly avoided an awkward run-in with brother Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, who had recently been spotted in the same celebrity hotspot just last week. While the family remains at the centre of an ongoing rift with the couple, Romeo and Harper looked relaxed and unfazed as they headed out for a peaceful sunset meal. Romeo kept it casual in a white sweatshirt and pink basketball shorts, finishing the look with a red cap worn backwards. While Harper also embraced laid-back holiday style in a white hoodie, shorts, and beige Birkenstocks. Just hours earlier, Romeo was spotted taking a stroll around the French Riviera. He cut a stylish figure in a vintage Brazil Ronaldo football jersey, teamed with camo-print shorts and suede loafers. The nepo baby appeared in good spirits as he wandered through the area before boarding a yacht. The outing come after Brooklyn spent the weekend celebrating his father-in-law Nelson, posing in happy family snaps from the billionaire's 83rd birthday. Nicola has shared another gushing post about her 'most loving father' after throwing Nelson a lavish birthday party over the weekend. The celebratory photos are the latest blow for David and Victoria, after Brooklyn snubbed his own dad David's 50th birthday. Brooklyn looked right at home with his in-laws, happily posing with Nelson and Nicola's brothers at the party held at the Peltz family's huge home in Bedford, New York. 'Happy birthday dad! i am so lucky to be your daughter, you're the most loving and supportive father i could ever dream of,' Nicola gushed alongside the party snaps. 'I love you more than i could ever begin to express - you're the wind beneath my wings,' the loving tribute continued. 'i loved celebrating you yesterday! thank you for always being there for us - our constant love and support.' David and Victoria have reportedly become resigned to the fact that they have become estranged from their beloved son after he failed to attend any of the football ace's 50th birthday celebrations last month. He also didn't wish either his mum Victoria or dad David a happy birthday on social media - an unusual move for the Beckhams, who are known for their loving posts. This is in stark contrast to a post Brooklyn shared last week for his father-in-law and wrote on a picture of himself and Nicola with the billionaire: 'Happy birthday Nelson x We love you,' Last week, it was revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers Cruz and Romeo in the latest family drama. However, Brooklyn's friends told MailOnline on Friday that Cruz and Romeo have actually blocked them on the social media platform. This would make sense given that Brooklyn and Nicola are still following Victoria and David. Cruz and Romeo were still following Brooklyn and Nicola earlier this month but appeared to take action after Brooklyn posted a birthday tribute to sister Harper, sharing a family photo without them in it – which Nicola reposted. There was much speculation whether Brooklyn would reach out to Harper on her 14th birthday, but despite him doing so, it seems all is not well in the camp. Brooklyn's birthday tribute to Harper marked his first public interaction with his family since he paid tribute to his grandmother Sandra on June 26, despite remaining silent and shunning his father's 50th birthday earlier that same month. Sources close to the family have told MailOnline of their fears that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola have also distanced themselves from Harper after they failed to visit her when they flew into London in May to film an advert for French-Italian clothing brand Moncler just over a mile from the family home in Holland Park. David and Victoria had no idea whether Brooklyn, who Harper has idolised since she was a little girl, would message her privately or publicly on Instagram because they have no communication with him.
