Vic Reeves' wife Nancy Sorrell, 50, shows off her figure in a colourful bikini as the pair share fun snaps hitting the beach in Kent
The model, 50, posed up a storm in new snaps posted to Instagram this week amid the UK's heatwave.
Vic, 66, - whose real name is James Moir - went shirtless as he stood next to his stunning wife by the sea.
He also shared a funny video of them cooling off in the water as they waved at the camera.
The star then wrote under his post: 'Not waving, but drowning. Or The mermaid and the walrus. And a stone shark. English coastal waters. @nancy_sorrell.'
Vic and Nancy, who have been married for over two decades, share daughters Elizabeth and Nell.

Nancy is also stepmother to Vic's two children Alice, 32, and Louis, 27, from his previous marriage to Sarah Vincent.
The model first met Vic in 2001 when they both appeared on the same BBC Two TV show.
She was then invited to appear in the comic's own show Shooting Stars, which he created and hosted with comedy partner Bob Mortimer. The pair immediately hit it off and the rest is history.
It comes after Nancy spoke out about how many thought her relationship with Vic wouldn't last when they first got together due to the 15-year age gap.
In an interview with The Sun she said: 'They said it was never going to last and that it was only going to last two weeks.
'They would point out the age difference but it was irrelevant to us.
'At the beginning it was tough. We didn't understand why people kept saying our relationship would end. But we just ignored it.
She added: 'People we knew personally were fine about us but everyone else just thought our relationship wouldn't work and that it was a joke.'
Nancy went on to say she believed they had proved their naysayers wrong with the length of their romance, although she still can't understand why people had an issue with their relationship.
Back in May Jim opened up about how he copes with deafness after suffering a brain tumour and why he's decided to leave alter ego Vic behind for a quiet life in Kent.
The beloved comedian and artist - who is best known by his stage name Vic Reeves - reflected on having a benign brain tumour which has left him '100% deaf' in one ear in an interview.
Back in 2021, Jim found out that the growth is inoperable and has curtailed his hobbies such as listening to music and bird watching.
Jim - who found fame with Bob Mortimer in the 90s - has touched on his daily life living with deafness.
Describing his morning routine after ditching the limelight to The Times, he explained how he likes to get 'four hours' painting in by 10am, so I'm in my studio at the bottom of our garden at 6.'
He said: 'Music drowns out the tinnitus caused by a benign brain tumour that was found in 2021. I got used to being 100% deaf in one ear quite quickly.
Jim then touched on how art has been his life, and that 'comedy was a bit of a distraction.'
'People presumed I was Vic Reeves because he was the most popular character I played, but I just stopped wanting to do it,' he candidly shared.
'I like being at home and wanted to do a different kind of art. Bird prints are my bread and butter, but I'm also doing bronzes and painting lots of beetles.'
He also described his 97-year-old mum as his role model.
Jim, who lives in Kent with his wife Nancy, 50, previously said: 'I get up every morning very early, go into the studio, paint, and go out for a walk in the afternoon. I like that a lot better.'
Describing life after quitting fame, he shared that he likes to keep himself busy and 'doesn't know if it's an OCD thing' but he likes routine.
The last public appearance he had with Nancy was in September last year as he attended the 2024 Sky Arts Awards in London.
The pair celebrated 20 years of marriage in 2023.
The comedian commemorated the occasion by sharing snaps of himself and his wife, who is 15 years his junior, wearing matching personalised T-shirts.
Vic and Nancy sported T-shirts printed with pictures of them dressed up in wigs and glasses, with the words '20 years' underneath.
He captioned the snaps: 'Happy anniversary to us. 20 years of love and happiness.'

Mariah Carey at Brighton Pride review – even the shirtless dancers can't distract from how stop-start this is
Mariah Carey famously said she doesn't acknowledge the 'passage of time', so true to form, she arrives to headline at Brighton Pride five years after she was originally scheduled to appear. The delay clearly hasn't put off the throngs of devoted Lambs (Carey's stans), displaying their fandom with T-shirts referencing other quotes from the diva such as 'I don't know her' and 'I don't have time for the rigmarole'. Carey appears wearing a trans flag-inspired pink, blue and white minidress and a leather jacket embroidered with the slogan 'Protect the Dolls'. The opening is relentless as she storms through snippets of Type Dangerous, Emotions, Make It Happen, I'll Be There, Vision of Love and Dreamlover. While her voice is not as pristine as it once was, her whistle register is still intact and thrills the crowd every time. After that promising start, the show falters with a setlist that hurries Carey – and the crowd – through some of her biggest hits. Fantasy is sloppy and rushed, with only one verse and chorus (plus the Ol' Dirty Bastard rap, piped in), while a Heartbreaker/Honey mashup is similarly cut short. The crowd are eager to carry her, but even with knowing every word they struggle to keep up with the stop-start pacing. After an outfit change, covered by the first of many drum fills and dance breaks, Carey returns for #Beautiful, her 2013 duet with Miguel, which she rarely performs, exciting those fans (and there seem to be many) who have been tracking her recent setlists. She follows it up with a swaggering rendition of Obsessed – widely understood as her diss track of Eminem – and a playful Touch My Body, which marks the show hitting its peak. A glam moment during Say Somethin', where the singer's hair and makeup team come on stage mid-performance to do touchups, is as camp and silly as you'd expect from a diva such as Carey. But after another leisurely outfit change (into the next of a series of sparkly minidresses), the interludes really start to drag, and people begin to drift away. There's no number of energetic shirtless male dancers who can keep the crowd entertained while Carey is frequently off stage and then, when she returns, increasingly going through the motions. It's a shame, as the closing numbers feature four of Carey's best songs from 2005's The Emancipation of Mimi, including We Belong Together and Fly Like a Bird, but by this point many have lost interest or legged it for the train home. To anyone who thought Brighton Pride would be too small a stage for her to bring her best, Carey proved that she's still got it, but she could have probably given a little more.

Government could ban ‘barely legal' pornography after Bonnie Blue documentary
The new pornography taskforce will propose legislation aimed at banning a type of content produced by porn star Bonnie Blue, known as 'barely legal'. It comes after Channel 4 broadcast a documentary about the porn star, called: '1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story', which followed her for six months. The show attracted significant criticism, with the children's commissioner for England, Dame Rachel de Souza, accusing the show of 'glamorising and normalising' extreme pornography. The documentary shows Tia Billinger – who uses the stage name Bonnie Blue – preparing to film a scene with a group of models dressed in school uniform, who acknowledge that they have been picked for the scene because they look young. 'This content is pushing at the boundaries. We will be trying to address the 'barely legal' aspect legislatively', Baroness Bertin told The Guardian. She said she plans to raise amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill once Parliament returns from its summer recess to make it illegal for online platforms to host content that could encourage child sexual abuse. This would include content filmed by adults dressed up as children. Bonnie Blue became famous after initially filming sexual content with young male students, who she dubbed 'barely legal'. She later gained notoriety after filming stunts, including one which saw her have sex with more than 1,000 men in a 24-hour period. Under rules that came into effect on July 25 as part of the Online Safety Act, online platforms including social media sites and search engines must take steps to prevent children from accessing harmful content such as pornography or material that encourages suicide. The act also gave Ofcom the responsibility to monitor whether sites are protecting viewers from illegal material including child sexual abuse or extreme content such as portrayals of rape, bestiality and necrophilia. But currently, adults role-playing as children in pornography is not prohibited online. The Channel 4 documentary, which showed pixellated clips of Bonnie Blue having sex with more than 1,000 men, faced condemnation for failing to challenge her enough, with advertisers pulling support for the programme. Card payment business Visa, juice maker Cawston Press and vodka brand Smirnoff all had ads which appeared online during the show, but they later told Channel 4 that they no longer wanted their products promoted during the programme as it did not align with their advertising guidelines or values. Dame Rachel said: 'For years we have been fighting to protect our children from the kind of degrading, violent sex that exists freely on their social media feeds. This documentary risks taking us a step back by glamorising, even normalising, the things young people tell me are frightening, confusing and damaging to their relationships.' Baroness Bertin added: 'Channel 4 showed a surprising lack of judgment in showing such explicit sex scenes. More widely the glamorisation and normalisation of content creators like Bonnie Blue does undoubtedly have an effect. In my opinion, this is a direction of travel that is not particularly helpful for society nor is it prudish to call it out as such.' A Channel 4 spokesperson said: 'The film looks at how Bonnie Blue has gained worldwide attention and earned millions of pounds in the last year, exploring changing attitudes to sex, success, porn and feminism in an ever-evolving online world. 'Director Victoria Silver puts a number of challenges to Bonnie throughout the documentary on the example she sets and how she is perceived, and the film clearly lays bare the tactics and strategies she uses, with the audience purposefully left to form their own opinions.'
