90s pop icon stuns on island getaway with Aussie boyfriend
Spice Girl Melanie C – aka Sporty Spice – looks as fit as ever in these candid new holiday photos. The 90s pop legend, 51, escaped to the island of Mallorca for a romantic getaway with her partner, Australian actor and model Chris Dingwall. The loved-up pair each shared a carousel of photos from the holiday on Instagram, with Melanie looking absolutely ripped in a tiny two-piece black bikini – and in another snap, relaxing on a boat while reading a book about the history of esctasy use in dance music. Fans and friends were full of praise for the star in the comments section. 'Seeing Melanie look this healthy and happy melts my heart,' one longtime fan wrote. 'Gorgeous to see you so happy and relaxed,' wrote UK broadcaster Kate Thornton. 'You're both so cute together. Love seeing you enjoying moments of love,' another fan gushed. ï¸� Dingwall is originally from Sydney but travels the world as a model signed to Ford Models and Chadwick. The pair went public at Wimbledon in London last July, days after they were spotted walking hand-in-hand at the iconic Glastonbury festival. But they had been quietly dating for months before that: Melanie's frequent visits to our shores earlier in 2024, ostensibly for DJing gigs, also doubled as quality time with Dingwall as the pair shared romantic getaways in resorts across Brisbane, Byron Bay and the Whitsundays. Since those early days the pair have become more open about their relationship, with Melanie C even professing her 'love' for Dingwall on social media in January after he wished her a happy 51st birthday. Furthering her Aussie connection, Melanie C will soon appear as one of the celeb coaches on the next season of Seven's music contest The Voice alongside Ronan Keating, Richard Marx and Kate Miller-Heidke. She was based in Bondi while she lived here to film the season, and also made a surprise appearance at a Sydney gay club in April, filming scenes for a new music video. Melanie C is undoubtedly the most private of the five Spice Girls when it comes to her love life, largely keeping her relationships out of the public eye since a string of romances with high-profile musicians in the late 90s and early noughties. She has a teenage daughter from a longtime relationship with ex-partner Thomas Starr. The pair split in 2012 after a decade together. After that, Melanie dated her manager, Joe Marshall, for seven years before they split in 2022.

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz make loved-up appearance in the countryside whilst his estranged family holiday in the South of France amid ongoing feud
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz made a loved up appearance in what looks to be the UK countryside on Saturday. The husband and wife have jetted into the country for the weekend and appear to be enjoying downtime away from the city. Nicola, 30, took a candid snap of Brooklyn as he posed in a picturesque garden that featured its own well. The 26-year-old sported a casual look for his Saturday outing, wearing black shorts and a white t-shirt. His leg tattoos were visible as he completed his look with white trainers and a cream cap. Another sweet capture showed Brooklyn kissing Nicola on the neck as they stood in front of a mirror. Nicola, also went for a casual look, wearing a white tee and black sunglasses on her face, while wearing her hair up. The couple's romantic getaway to the countryside comes as the rest of the Beckham clan enjoy their family hotel in the South of France. While the family remains at the centre of an ongoing rift with the couple, Romeo and his younger sister 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. 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.' 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 It was previously 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.

Brit takes boyfriend to ‘height of British culture' holiday after fancy Venice trip – by going to Barry Island
WHEN it comes to romantic getaways most will consider Paris and Santorini, but one took their partner on a trip to Wales. After going on a romantic escape to Venice with his boyfriend, Ross Whyatt decided to return the favour by booking them on a Gavin and Stacey tour in Wales. 5 Ross had just spent a relaxing weekend basking in the sunshine, sipping on Aperol Spritz and eating delicious pizza.

As it goes in relationships Ross decided to do something equally as thoughtful in return - and decided to book a trip to Barry in Wales. The pair had become big fans after watching the final episode at Christmas. Ross revealed to What's The Jam that they binged the whole series and as Riccardo had been "quoting it all year" it only felt right to visit.

'It's part of the fun of being in a multicultural relationship, I'm slowly learning Italian and enjoying his cooking. I've introduced him to Greggs, Yorkshire puddings and a chippy tea. 'I'm also getting him into other British comedy classics, like Outnumbered, Peep Show and The Inbetweeners. But Gavin and Stacey is his favourite." Although Ross admitted that he'd rather do a week in Venice over a day out in Barry, Riccardo disagreed. For anyone who wants to head over to do Barry to do some film location sight-seeing themselves, make sure to visit Trinity Street in Barry is home to the homes of Gwen, Uncle Bryn, and Doris.

Dua Lipa sends temperatures soaring in a skimpy black bikini in slew of snaps from romantic getaway with fiancé Callum Turner
Dua Lipa sent temperatures soaring in a skimpy black bikini as she shared snaps from a romantic getaway with her fiancé Callum Turner. The lovebirds enjoyed a break from Dua's Radical Optimism World Tour by jetting off to Palermo, southern Italy, for a sun-soaked holiday. And the One Kiss hitmaker, 29, gave supporters an insight into their trip on Wednesday, with the pair - who got engaged late last year - seeming as smitten as ever in the Instagram post. In one photo, the couple posed for a snap on a boat, with Callum, 35, bursting into laughter as Dua gazed down lovingly at him from behind. The pop icon later flaunted her enviable physique in a skimpy black bikini while poking her tongue out and sporting a pair of coordinated sunglasses. Also included in the slew of loved-up snaps was a selfie of the couple wearing matching white shirts, with Callum seeming as happy as ever to be spending time with his superstar partner as he beamed. While a later photo displayed Dua's full outfit for the night, with the Levitating hitmaker putting on a leggy display in the Italian heat in a pair of denim shorts. The ensemble was worn on the same night of the Palermo getaway that Dua was spotted by fans enjoying a cigarette while perched on a pavement. Filmed from across a narrow street, a video posted on TikTok went viral after supporters spotted the icon in its background. She seemed in great spirits in the footage as she chuckled with Callum while enjoying a glass of wine and a smoke. Dua and Callum were also seen putting on a loved-up display on the same night as they strolled around the characterful city arm-in-arm. It came after the smitten stars were seen packing on the PDA by photographers a few weeks earlier as they sunbathed in the Amalfi coast. They couldn't keep their hands off each other while sharing a passionate kiss in the sun, with Dua flaunting her toned physique in a Polka dot bikini. While a later photo displayed Dua's full outfit for the night, with the Levitating hitmaker putting on a leggy display in the Italian heat in a pair of denim shorts Dua and Callum are believed to have started dating at the start of 2024, but decided to keep their romance a secret before going public a short time later. In December of that year speculation began circulating that they were engaged, with Callum thought to have 'got down on one knee in a romantic proposal'. Dua was later spotted with an elegant solitaire diamond ring with an 18 karat gold band on her finger, which experts estimated could cost a whopping £25,000. The pop star later confirmed she and Callum were engaged in an interview with British Vogue last month. Expressing her excitement about the future, Dua told the publication: 'I'd love to have kids one day. But it's like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time – how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take. 'I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children.' Confirming their engagement, Dua said: 'Yeah we're engaged. It's very exciting. 'This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever - it's a really special feeling.'

They previously enjoyed a romantic trip together to St. Barts in January Camila Cabello and Henry Junior Chalhoub can't keep their hands off each other! The 'I Luv It' singer, 28, and her billionaire heir boyfriend were spotted packing on the PDA during their romantic getaway in Ibiza, Spain on July 21. During the steamy exchange, the couple can be seen sharing a passionate kiss on a seaweed-strewn dock as Cabello leans against Chalhoub. They shared another intimate moment in the water, keeping their heads above to lock lips. During their fun in the sun, the former Fifth Harmony member sported a simple black bikini. Meanwhile, Chalhoub was shirtless, showing off his toned physique in a pair of camouflage swim shorts. The waters off the coast of Ibiza have been a popular celebrity vacation spot this summer. Earlier this month, famous friends Kate Hudson and Dakota Johnson were spotted yachting together on July 1. The young couple was first linked in November 2024 at an Elie Saab fashion show afterparty in Saudi Arabia, per Billboard. Speculation surrounding their romantic relationship was fueled in January 2025 when the pair was spotted holding hands in St. Barts. In March 2025, the couple was seen cozying up to one another while attending Chanel's Fall/Winter 2025 fashion show during Paris Fashion Week. In a sweet interaction shared on TikTok, their hands are interlocked before Chalhoub spots a camera and turns away. Chalhoub's family founded the Dubai-based luxury fashion distribution company Chalhoub Group, which works with Verace, Jimmy Choo and several other brands, per Business of Fashion. In 2023, the family was recognized in Forbes' Top 100 Arab Family Businesses list. The outlet estimated the late Michel Chalhoub and family were worth $1.7 billion as of 2019. Before Chalhoub, Cabello held romantic relationships with some other big names including life coach Matthew Hussey. Though, her most notable was her on-again, off-again relationship with singer Shawn Mendes. The 'In My Blood' songwriter, 26, confirmed to a crowd in Australia that the pair first started dating on the Fourth of July in 2019.
