Rebekah Vardy flaunts her washboard abs in a skimpy bikini on Portugal trip with footballer husband Jamie
The WAG, 43, has shared a host of snaps from her getaway with her partner, where they've been joined by his footballing pals Harry Maguire and James Maddison.
She took to Instagram on Thursday to share a glimpse of her lavish getaway as she posed up a storm in a coral, strapless, two-piece.
Rebekah then posted a snap of her walking through some large metal gates wearing a blue beach wrap over the top of her swimwear.
For her outing, she accessorised her look with a pair of black-tinted sunglasses and a chunky white headband.
Alongside her posts she penned: 'Loving this new colour'.
As Jamie continues to search for a new club after leaving Leicester City, he and Rebekah have been enjoying a few weeks at their £9.7million villa in the Algarve.
They've been joined by the England striker's former teammates, including Manchester United captain Maguire, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Maddison and also Andy King, who used to play for Wales and is now a coach at the trio's old club.
Sharing more holiday pictures, Rebekah showed off her incredible figure last week in a skimpy bikini while larking around on a boat with a pal.
She flaunted her toned frame in the swimwear while posing up a storm for a photo posted on social media, with her friend Grant Wheelhouse quick to poke fun at her antics.
Rebekah, who was sporting a sun-kissed glow, stood at the bow of the vessel, looking out to sea as she showed off her peachy behind in the sizzling shot.
In another shot included in Rebekah's Instagram post, Grant mimicked the same pose as he playfully mocked her sultry modelling.
Rebekah warned her followers that they were 'only having a laugh' as she shut down her 'chirpy' fans in the caption of the post.
She wrote: 'Who did it better…… it's also called having a laugh before some of you chirpy lot pipe up.'
She also posted bikini-clad photos of her taking a stroll on the beach while the sun set in southern Portugal.
Rebekah showed off her amazing figure in the pink two-piece and added a coordinated oversized shirt as she dipped her feet in the ocean tide.
In another photo, the TV personality looked to be running away from the camera as she jumped into the air with joy. She wrote: 'Life is better at the beach'.
The Vardy's getaway comes as they try to foot the £4million costs bill for her ill-fated Wagatha Christie libel case against Coleen Rooney.
Perhaps to help pay the steep bill, Rebekah and Jamie listed their Portuguese villa for an 'optimistic' £9.7million following the trial.
Last month, Rebekah was ordered by a judge to pay £1.27m towards rival Coleen 's legal expenses, on top of her own bill, reported to be more than £2million, from the disastrous libel claim she brought in 2022.
The Wagatha Christie trial left the mother-of-five's reputation 'in tatters' and had a similar effect on her 'brand' with potential advertisers.

Rebekah unsuccessfully sued the I'm A Celeb star in the High Court in 2022 after she was publicly accused of leaking stories about her to the press.
The catalyst for the famous case was a dramatic open letter written by Coleen and posted on social media in October 2019 in which she revealed she had turned detective to figure out who had been leaking the stories to the press.
Coleen publicly claimed Rebekah's account was the source behind three newspaper stories featuring fake details she had posted on her private Instagram profile - her travelling to Mexico for a 'gender selection' procedure, her planning to return to TV and the basement flooding at her home.
Though Jamie has continued to be one of the Premier League's big earners, pulling in an estimated £7.3m at Leicester City last season, and now linked with a possible transfer to Manchester United, there's no doubt the family finances took a massive blow from the Wagatha scandal and its aftermath.
In recent years, the couple rented out their beloved villa on the exclusive golf resort of Quinta do Lago for up to £30,000 a week, but now they've reluctantly decided to put it up for sale.
The property has been listed for sale with blue chip agents Knight Frank, with an incredible £9.7million price tag.
Though prices have risen strongly in the Algarve recently by as much as 16 per cent according to some estimates, the Vardy villa is definitely priced on the 'optimistic side', according to one agent speaking to MailOnline on the condition of anonymity.
'It's certainly a stunning and very modern property, but there are many more traditionally-styled places in that area which some people might prefer, of similar size, but priced a lot more competitively,' he said.
The villa, which has three pools, a gym, steam room and six bedrooms and overlooks the 18th green of the resort's North course.
According to Knight Frank, 'this magnificent property, built over four levels, showcases meticulous attention to lifestyle details.'
Other features in the four-storey home include a cinema room, roof terrace and sauna, on a plot of around 0.64 acres.
The particulars add: 'In addition to the three external pools, which epitomize a contemporary lifestyle, the villa includes a central electro-chromic glass lift accessing each floor.
'The impressively landscaped gardens complement the property's style, creating a true haven for modern living.
'The villa is conveniently located within walking distance of the golf course and other renowned amenities within the Quinta do Lago resort.'

Richard Keys calls for huge rule change in penalty shootouts - as controversial former Sky Sports star reveals the 'distinct advantage' given to the Lionesses during Euro 2025 triumph over Spain
Richard Keys believes there should be a major change in the rules over penalty shootouts - arguing the Lionesses had a 'distinct advantage' in their Euro 2025 shootout win. The former Sky Sports presenter, who now works for beIN, thinks there is an unfair advantage given to the side who are taking spot kicks in front of their own fans. The Lionesses won the toss after extra time against Spain in the final of Euro 2025 on Sunday, selecting the penalties to take place at the end in front of England supporters. Keys wrote on X: 'Pens in front of your own fans is a distinct advantage. We should take them at both ends but for now - Come on England.' The current rules are that there are two coin tosses before penalties, one to decide which end they are taken and another to see which side will go first. If Keys' idea to have penalties taken at both ends came to fruition, it may even the balance but alter the spectacle, with attention split between two halves and those on the halfway line turning to watch each time. The Lionesses held off Spain in extra time to reach the lottery of the shootout having cancelled out Mariona Caldentey's opener with Alessia Russo's second-half header. Beth Mead thought she had scored the first goal of the penalties for England but double-kicked the ball as she slipped. She had to retake it and saw her effort saved to give Spain the advantage but it mattered little in the end. Hannah Hampton saved twice and Salma Paralluelo dragged wide of the post before Chloe Kelly stepped up to smash the winner and confirm England as back-to-back European champions. It seems unlikely that Keys' penalty idea will be adopted and he is no stranger to a controversial opinion on X. The broadcaster, earlier this year claimed Man United boss Ruben Amorim was 'trying' to get sacked. He also hinted that Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan both owe their successful careers to him in astonishing rant after they were lined up as part of the trio, along with Mark Chapman, to present Match of the Day. Writing in his blog, he posted: 'Congrats to Kelly Cates on her new job. I'm proud of her but not surprised. Success has many fathers and I'm sure there'll be a few people lining up to take credit for her career, but Kelly, Kenny and me know the truth. 'Kenny and I once fell out about her getting a job at Sky. "It meant she didn't finish Uni" he said to me. "No" I replied. "But you asked me to get her a job". Her dad is a man of many contradictions – but that one was a belter. I'm not holding my breath expecting he'll call now to apologise. 'Kelly is good. Very good. But I'm still surprised she's making the move. There's nothing like presenting live football. I would never have made that decision. Highlights shows are deadly dull. 'MotD desperately needs fresh blood, but I'm not sure it will survive for very much longer. Eventually Grandstand died for similar reasons – the march of time.' Keys and former colleague Andy Gray left their roles with Sky after a series of sexist conversations were picked up and leaked in January 2011 when they thought their microphones were off. Both Keys and Gray left the UK and are the face of Premier League coverage across the Middle East and North Africa with beIN Sports.

Izzy Judd: ‘Therapy is one of the kindest things you can do for your mental wellbeing as a mum'
Izzy Judd has had therapy on and off for more than 20 years. And the mum-of-three, who's married to McFly drummer Harry Judd, is hoping that by talking candidly about how much she's gained from therapy, she'll encourage other mums – and particularly new ones – to seek therapy themselves if they have any problems, big or small. Judd, 41, who's a classically trained violinist and author, says: 'New mums often face their struggles alone, and there's a narrative that plays in our minds saying we should be able to cope. 'It feels like everyone else is coping, but actually more than half of new mums struggle with their mental wellbeing. The idea is to seek therapy and remove the stigma that therapy might suggest a feeling of failing, because actually, therapy is one of the kindest things you can do for your mental wellbeing as a mum. 'That's something I've always felt – it can be transformative.' She explains that her first experience of therapy was in her early 20s for anxiety, which she says was linked to her eldest brother Rupert having a serious car accident which left him with a severe brain injury. 'My family experienced a real trauma,' she recalls. 'That was back in 1997 and no therapy was offered to us at that time. I would've really benefitted from being able to talk about that trauma. 'Resulting from that, I really struggled with anxiety. I'd always, as a child, had a bit of anxiety, and in my early 20s the anxiety got so overwhelming I had my first experience of therapy. As I've gone through life there have been different moments where I've just felt I needed that support. 'I think therapy is part of the puzzle, certainly for me. Medication is one part, but you need therapy to support.' Judd, who had her first child Lola, now nine, through IVF and went on to conceive sons Kit, aged seven, and Lockie, three, naturally, says when she was a new mum what she really struggled with was leaving her home. 'I found it really, really difficult leaving the house – I felt safe at home, I could feed my baby, I could walk around in my pyjamas all day. 'I felt like the other people I'd met and made friends with at NCT all seemed to be coping a lot better. If I could speak to my new mum self it would have been just to say there really is no rush and you can be in this bubble as long as you need to be and it's fine.' Because it's something she can really relate to, Judd is now supporting the new Positive Steps campaign by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which aims to encourage new mums to think of therapy as self-care. The campaign has been launched after BACP research found 69% of new mums think they're bombarded with advice which adds to – rather than alleviates – the pressures of motherhood. More than half of new mums questioned (51%) said they found it harder to cope with their mental wellbeing since having a baby, and 43% had considered having counselling for it, but hadn't accessed it. In addition, 66% of new parents say social media creates an overwhelming pressure to succeed, and Judd says: 'With the rise of social media, there's so much more comparison, and opinion and sometimes you can lose your way and not listen to your own intuition, which is more often than not the strongest voice to listen to.' Of course new mums talking to their partners and family about any problems they may be facing is also vital, and Judd reveals that after she's had therapy: 'Harry and I always have a bit of a joke because he'll say 'I told you that!'. 'But I think there's a place for both – there's a place for making sure you have an open dialogue with the people around you, especially as a new mum where you can't really express what you're finding difficult. 'As new mums we're really bad at asking for help – it doesn't feel instinctive, because we want to look after and be able to do everything as part of our maternal instinct, but actually turning to your partner to ask for help is absolutely crucial.' She says it can also be extremely useful to offload to a therapist too. 'They're trained experts,' she points out. 'Sometimes people might think how is that person going to solve my problems, or I'm going to talk for an hour and just feel like I've opened up, but then what? 'But actually, it isn't like that. It's almost like a filing system where you can organise your thoughts and concerns in a clearer way, and the therapist is very good at guiding you through and making sure you're getting the most from your sessions. 'Sometimes you just need the chance to offload, or to feel the emotions or to have a cry or a shout or whatever it might be.' As well as talking to her husband and having therapy, another thing Judd swears by is mindfulness. She's even written a book about it, Mindfulness for Mums, and says: 'It's summer holidays at the moment, so the juggle is very real, but I'm very aware of getting micro-moments, the glimmers in the day, whether it's walking the dog, getting out and having a bit of head space – I love practising mindfulness, and I try and share that with my kids. 'If I don't have the space in the day to get present, my brain loves to catastrophise and go into the future and start worrying, so I feel like I have to try and get present, and that's where mindfulness has been a real rock, and something that's really helped my kids as well – so much so that sometimes it backfires.' She happily explains how, usually around the children's bath time and teatime, 'You're so tired you just want somebody to feed you and put you to bed, and often I get het up and my daughter will say 'Mummy, shall we take five deep breaths?', because I do this thing on my hand where I trace the outline of my hand and take deep breaths. 'But I think that's great because she's got that tool, though when she says it to me I'm like 'Ohhh!'.' Judd says she feels 'lucky and in a privileged position' to be able to seek therapy. and acknowledges that it can be expensive. But she points out that the BACP is working with The Mum Club and MumsAid as part of the campaign to help new mums access therapy, and she adds: 'We've got to stop thinking of therapy as something which is an indulgence or a failing, and start looking at it as something that can really support you through the toughest periods of your life.' Izzy Judd is supporting the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)'s Positive Steps campaign to encourage new mums to think of therapy as self-care.
