Sofia, 52, flaunted her incredible figure as she soaked up the sun on her summer vacation in the European hotspot.
The Griselda star was laying face down on top of a luxurious cushioned sunbed by the sea.
Her enviable curves were on display in a pair of tiny white thong bikini bottoms in a behind-the-scenes video.
She took off the accompanying top as she attempted to tan her already sun-kissed back.
The America's Got talent judge also gave a cheeky wave to the camera as they filmed her from behind using the boomerang technique.
A broad smile could be seen on her face as her hair was left in an natural state and she covered her eyes with stylish shades.
Using her signature Latin finesse, Sofia captioned the short video: "Happy internacional bikini day from Ibiza."
This was alongside a string of crying with laughter emojis as she poked fun at herself.
This comes as it was revealed that a dirty joke about the actress and judge was cut from an America's Got Talent episode.
The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Howie Mandel made a comment that made the audience gasp.
AGT judge Howie Mandel's dirty joke about Sofia Vergara cut from show after audience gasped at 'gross' comment
Other members reportedly exclaimed the words were 'gross' as they filmed auditions for season 20 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.
Events on the show took a wild turn when the Osaka Philharmonic group from Japan took the stage to show off their bizarre skillset.
At one point during the audition, Simon Cowell, 65, took to the stage himself and removed his shirt to take part in the strange act.
A source present at the taping said that Howie was heard making a NSFW quip about co-star Sofia when the American Idol alum was on the stage.
America's Got Talent judges
THOUSANDS of hopefuls have graced the America's Got Talent stage to showcase their abilities.
Here is some more information about the A-list judges for season 20:
Simon Cowell - On October 22, 2015, it was revealed Simon was replacing Howard Stern on the AGT judges panel. He became a judge during the program's 11th season and has since remained a series regular.
Mel B - In March 2013, Mel B was announced as Sharon Osbourne's replacement on AGT. She remained on the show for five seasons before leaving in 2018. She made her grand return this year for season 20.
Sofia Vergara - On February 27, 2020, NBC revealed Sofia was replacing Gabrielle Union for AGT season 15.
Howie Mandel - Out of all the panelists, Howie Mandel is the longest-tenured judge on America's Got Talent. Howie joined the hit reality series during the show's 5th season, replacing David Hasselhoff.
'During the audition, Howie said that Sofia should get on the stage and 'be next.' He was apparently implying it'd be funny to have Sofia on stage topless like the contestants were.
'When he said that, those in close proximity who overheard the comment gasped, with some even saying it was 'gross,'' the insider claimed.
However, they added that Howie was 'clearly joking,' and while Sofia's jaw briefly dropped when she heard the quip, she did not appear to take offense to it.

Milan's historic La Scala cracks down on tourist dress code
A historic opera house in Milan has cracked down on patrons and tourists entering the prestigious venue wearing summer attire such as shorts, tank tops and flip flops, warning they will be turned away if not dressed appropriately. The opera was seen as a symbol of wealth and exclusivity in 19th-century high society, and the bourgeois elite of this time period would have been expected to turn up in tailcoats, cravats and long evening dresses. While this opulent attire is not expected of patrons nowadays, Milan 's Teatro alla Scala opera house, commonly known as La Scala, has recently reinforced its smart dress code in the wake of opera-goers turning up in casual summer fashion. 'The public is kindly requested to dress in keeping with the decorum of the theatre, out of respect for the theatre and for other viewers,' La Scala 's policy warns. 'People wearing shorts or sleeveless T-shirts will not be allowed inside the auditorium; in this case, tickets will not be reimbursed.' The venue also has signs around the foyer and on tickets stating the same message, warning patrons that they will not get a refund if they turn up wearing clothes not in keeping with the 'decorum'. The rules over informal clothing were first introduced in 2015 when the summer season coincided with the World Expo in Milan, as a way to deter the influx of tourists turning up in summer wear. 'There are no special dress code requirements at La Scala,' a spokesperson at the theatre told The Independent. 'We are delighted that some of our audience members consider an evening at La Scala to be a special occasion and dress accordingly, but our priority is to welcome everyone and make sure they feel comfortable. 'This is precisely why, in 2015, we introduced restrictions on clothing that could cause discomfort to other audience members who have to share the often limited space of an 18th-century theatre. 'With the return of summer (an especially hot one), we reminded the audience of these rules, which have remained unchanged for ten years. 'It would not be right to tell spectators how to dress, but it is necessary that they do dress, as not to cause discomfort to other people,' the spokesperson added. Until now, dress codes at La Scala have not been strictly enforced, partly due to its former French director Dominique Meyer, who said he would rather have less smartly dressed operagoers than a theatre full of empty seats. Opera houses across the world have been creating initiatives to try to get younger people invested in this historic performance art, as well as making operas feel more welcoming and accessible to all, not just the upper classes. However, the venue has not pointed towards younger people for being the cause of the dress downgrade; instead, it is the increase of tourists in Milan. La Scala's spokesman added that there had been a 'change in behaviour led by visitors who do not follow opera but see La Scala as a landmark'. A recent article in La Scala's in-house magazine says that 'adapting one's attire to the occasion should be a conditioned reflex' and that 'common sense' should prevail in how to dress and behave in the theatre. 'And so it seems obvious to dress a little more elegantly for premieres than for repeat performances, and for evening performances than for afternoon ones', the La Scala 'Survival Manual' article added. 'Putting on a jacket and tying a tie, after all, aren't particularly demanding, or even painful, tasks.'

Kenneth Colley obituary
Kenneth Colley, who has died aged 87, after suffering from Covid and pneumonia, was a character actor widely admired by both the press and public for his screen roles over 60 years, from the Imperial officer Admiral Piett in two of the original Star Wars films and Jesus in Monty Python's Life of Brian to historical figures such as Nelson and Napoleon, and two Adolfs, Hitler and Eichmann. He described his parts as 'mad and bad', while critics variously commented that the sad-eyed actor had 'a defeated look if ever there was one' and he could 'make your spine tingle with pleasure'. He is embedded in the minds of sci-fi film fans as Firmus Piett, a role he landed after Irvin Kershner, director of The Empire Strikes Back (1980), the second in the first Star Wars trilogy, said he was 'looking for someone that would frighten Hitler'. Piett was the commander of Executor, Darth Vader's flagship super star destroyer employed in the Empire's quest for galactic control. George Lucas, the Star Wars creator and producer, had not intended to feature an Imperial officer twice in the first trilogy, but Colley made the character of Piett human – 'You can't just play a uniform,' he said – and Star Wars fans wrote in demanding to see him again. So Lucas brought him back for Return of the Jedi (1983), adding scenes to the original script. But Colley's run ended there, with Piett commanding the entire Imperial fleet at the Battle of Endor and perishing when a Rebel starfighter destroys the Executor's command bridge. He remained a firm fan favourite at Star Wars conventions over the following decades. Colley also gained cult status as Jesus delivering the Sermon on the Mount in the 1979 film Monty Python's Life of Brian. He had previously appeared with individual members of the Monty Python team in the movie Jabberwocky and on TV in Ripping Yarns (both in 1977). He was also much admired by Ken Russell and was part of the flamboyant director's unofficial repertory company for 22 years. Colley started as Hitler in Dance of the Seven Veils (1970), a BBC musical biopic that outraged Richard Strauss's family with its sex scenes and depiction of the composer as a Nazi sympathiser. Then came film parts as Modest, Tchaikovsky's younger brother, in The Music Lovers; Legrand in The Devils, brilliantly cinematic, but controversial – and censored – for its tale of a philandering 17th-century French Catholic priest, witchcraft, nudity and sexually repressed nuns; and a bearded king for a fantasy sequence in The Boy Friend (all 1971). In further Russell musical biopics, Colley was Krenek, a journalist posing challenging questions, in Mahler (1974) and Frédéric Chopin in Lisztomania (1975). He played the dour teacher Mr Brunt in Russell's film version of The Rainbow (1989) before returning to TV as Alfred Dreyfus, a wrongly jailed 19th-century French officer, in Prisoner of Honor (1991) and the composer John Ireland in The Secret Life of Arnold Bax (1992). Colley was born in Manchester, to Jessie (nee Hughes) and Ernest Colley, a labourer. When he was 14, a teacher at South Hulme secondary modern school asked him about his career ambitions, and he said he wanted to act. On leaving school, he went through jobs as a commercial art assistant, bus conductor and warehouse operative, but his dream never faded. 'One day, I told myself that I was 23 and I had to stop wasting my time,' Colley recalled. In 1961, he headed for London and knocked on theatrical agents' doors, but failed to impress. Nevertheless, he landed his first theatre job as an assistant stage manager with Bromley repertory company, where he started acting. He also made his screen debut, as a corpse, in the BBC sci-fi series A for Andromeda (1961) in the middle of an actors' strike that meant most Equity members were not available for work. Moving on, he joined the newly formed Living Theatre company in an old school building in Leicester (1961-63), alongside actors such as Jill Gascoine. His performance as Jimmy Porter in John Osborne's anti-establishment play Look Back in Anger led one critic to write: 'Kenneth Colley burns with sardonic rage.' While television quickly recognised his talents as a character actor, with appearances in dramas such as The Avengers (1963), as well as the role of a fellow steel worker playing pranks on Dennis Tanner in Coronation Street (1964), Colley continued on stage with the company at the Unity, a London East End venue with roots in the workers' theatre movement. He played Wick there in another 'angry young man' play, Little Malcolm and His Struggle Against the Eunuchs (1965), written by David Halliwell and directed by Mike Leigh. He reprised the role at that year's Dublin theatre festival and in the West End of London the following year at the Garrick, before taking small parts with the National Theatre company at the Old Vic in 1968. Later stage roles included Cleet in Cromwell (Royal Court, 1973) and Benedick on tour with the Royal Shakespeare Company in Much Ado About Nothing (1979). In films, he played Michael Crawford's chauffeur in The Jokers (1967) and a Soviet colonel in Firefox (1982), alongside Clint Eastwood. He first played Hitler on television in Jean Benedetti's BBC play These Men Are Dangerous (1969). His other small-screen parts included Charles I in Revolution: Cromwell (1970), the 'accordion man' in Pennies from Heaven (1978), an SS officer in the 1983 TV movie The Scarlet and the Black, starring Gregory Peck, Eichmann in Wallenberg: A Hero's Story (1985), and the title roles in I Remember Nelson (1982) and Napoleon's Last Battle (1990). Colley also gave a standout performance as the manipulating Duke of Vienna in the 1979 BBC Shakespeare production Measure for Measure and enjoyed a starring role as Ken Uttley, owner of a removals firm, in the comedy-drama Moving Story (1994-95). In 2016, he played the doomed mob boss Vicente Changretta in Peaky Blinders. In 1962, Colley married Mary Dunne; she died in 2018. Kenneth Colley, actor, born 7 December 1937; died 30 June 2025

F1 star Lewis Hamilton reportedly keeps his superyacht in Monaco. Sardinia, Italy Home to some of Italy's most spectacular beaches, Sardinia is unsurprisingly one of the Mediterranean's top destinations for a superyacht holiday. The Costa Smeralda, a stunning 35 mile stretch of coastline on the north of the island, is a particularly popular spot for superyachts. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez were spotted soaking up the sun from Bezos' yacht in Sardinia in 2024 with celebrity guests including Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. Cannes, France World-famous for the annual Cannes Film Festival, Cannes often hosts some of the globe's largest superyachts.

Kendall Jenner, Naomi Campbell, Martha Stewart and Janelle Monae were among the guest list for the ultra-luxury yacht launch. Malta's Marina di Valletta can accommodate superyachts in style while holidaymakers can also hop around the island's stunning coastline. Popular stops include the island of Gozo and the gorgeous clear waters around Comino. Barcelona, Spain Although it's more frequently used as a winter base for superyachts, Barcelona's Marina Port Vell recently underwent a multimillion pound renovation. The Marina has the longest dock in the Mediterranean and offers easy access to one of Spain's most vibrant destinations. While the city's marina isn't the best spot for celeb spotting, several famous yachts including Steven Spielberg's Seven Seas have been seen docked there. The Marina's website explains: 'As one of only a handful of genuine city-center marinas in the world, we have the best of Barcelona and Catalunya on our doorstep and Mediterranean hotspots and islands only a short cruise away.'
