Jenny Powell, 57, shows off her age-defying figure in a blue bikini as she enjoys beach day during sun-soaked Spain getaway
The radio presenter, 57, who is currently away in Spain, was topping up her tan in the sizzling two-piece as she soaked up the sun.
The broadcaster showed off her bronzed physique while posing up a storm on the beach.
'Scared, not scared. And definitely not sorry.' she penned on top of the post with Alesso's Hero playing over it.
Jenny underwent a robotic hysterectomy last year to manage extreme symptoms from the result of menopause.
She has been open about her health battle and has often displayed her scars from the gruelling surgery as a way of raising awareness.
In March, she displayed her incredible abs in a bikini as she proudly showed off her scars four months after having surgery.
She looked sensational as she took to Instagram to share a collection of snaps, including bikini pictures from a trip to Hotel Les Deux Tours in Marrakech.
Jenny wowed in a green and white tie-dye style triangle bikini, while in another mirror selfie, she sported a multicoloured striped skimpy two-piece.
She captioned the snaps: 'Pain heals, chicks dig scars, glory last forever. Thank you Shane Falco for these words… I'm living them!
'In the past week alone from hosting for amazing charities @athletic_minds_foundation @foundation92 @mftcharity to sharing my weekends as always on the radio @greatesthitsuk to rebooting @hotel_les_deux_tours.
'The balance is key and the energy is real .. shine on my lovelies. We all have scars inside and out .. it's the healing process that matters.'
Just five months ago, Jenny explained that the last two years have been the most difficult for her.
She told OK!: 'Even though I tried to send out all these positive, smiley, "everything's lovely" vibes, I was suffering.
'I had terrible bleeding, really bad, to the point where I was changing four times a day and in a job like mine, that isn't good.'
Jenny thinks that women's health is 'neglected' and that the concept of 'just getting used' to struggling is something that frustrates her.
The Greatest Hits Radio host had been on a family holiday in her bikini last year when some paparazzi pictures of herself started doing the rounds in the media.
When she saw the images, Jenny noticed a 'bump in [her] lower abdomen' which caused concern and she underwent an MRI.
The scan revealed that her abdomen was as if she 'was about 16 weeks pregnant' with the amount of pressure it was under, and she felt compelled to share her story.
She added: 'It was so big it was pressing on my intestines, on my bladder, on my kidneys.
'It's only looking back – now that it's gone – that I think, "Wow." And that's why I put it all out there.'
In the images shared, Jenny posed in shorts as she gave a full view of the extent of her scars.
The images had been taken over the course of a four-week time span, and the scarring became more dramatic as the days went on.
Soon after undergoing the operation in early October, Jenny explained: 'I've suffered for so long with all sorts of symptoms and tried all sorts, but yeah it's time, so hence the hysterectomy.
'Because I'm menopausal of course things are different it's not like this is been brought on early.
'But I'm just wondering if they'll be any connection between it and my emotions. So it will be interesting. I'm just about to put my fancy gown on so come back later.'
Jenny previously revealed she was forced into hospital after severe menopause symptoms left her struggling to 'get out of bed every day'.
What is a hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a woman's uterus.
There are three kinds:
The operation is most commonly performed on women between the ages of 40 and 49.
More than 20 million American women have had a hysterectomy, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As women approach menopause, the odds that they will develop one of several serious uterine health conditions increases. Doctors may recommend a hysterectomy as a treatment for:
fibroids
endometriosis
uterine (endometrial) cancer
chronic uterine pain or bleeding
collapsed uterus
In some cases, doctors may suggest a hysterectomy as a preventative measure if a woman has significant warning or early signs of developing one or more of these conditions.
When necessary, surgeons may also remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes, if these have also been damaged or are at serious risk of damage.
The removal of reproductive organs sends a woman's body into menopause, no matter how old she is.
This comes with unpleasant side effects like hot flashes, and many women have to start hormone therapy, taking oestrogen to balance out their own hormones.

Amanda Holden, 54, sizzles in a yellow string bikini while on a lavish boat during family getaway in Greece
Amanda Holden looked nothing short of sensational on Tuesday as she showed off her enviable figure in a yellow string bikini. The TV personality, 54, wowed fans as she struck a pose on a luxurious boat during her family holiday in Greece. In a snap shared to her Instagram Story, Amanda looked incredible in the skimpy two-piece as she posed by the steering wheel. She shielded her eyes with a pair of gold-framed sunglasses and accessorised with dainty jewellery. Amanda also re-shared a photo of the boat featuring everyone on board, with the caption: 'Captain @noholdenback.' It comes after Amanda revealed her youngest daughter Hollie, 13, has landed her first runway show, walking in London Fashion Week later this year. The radio presenter joked she is the new Kris Jenner as her two lookalike daughters are now following in her showbiz footsteps. Hollie will make her catwalk debut alongside model and university student sister Lexi, 19, who is already signed to Storm Models. When Amanda spoke with MailOnline at Claridge's hotel in London, she revealed that Hollie had 'no idea' that she had bagged her first modelling gig, as the presenter had 'literally only just heard' about it minutes before we sat down. She said: 'Lexi's good, she's sort of dipped her toe in and she's done a couple of photoshoots. She is loving university as well but what she doesn't like doing is taking time off, so I think she'll work it out but it's something she's enjoying. 'She's doing London Fashion Week again in September and we've actually just heard that Hollie is going to be doing it as well.' Amanda continued: 'It's definitely something I think Hollie is going to enjoy she's going to die when I tell her she's doing London Fashion Week this year. 'I literally just heard she got it and she's gone for the week with my mum in Cornwall so I'll have to ring her after.' She joked: 'With both girls doing it, I do feel like Kris Jenner now. We need our own reality show. Oh my god, yeah here we go, I could see that'. Despite the TV stars hopes of a family reality show, which could follow her daughter's nepo baby friends including Simon Cowell's son Eric and Alesha Dixon's daughter Azura, Amanda's daughter Lexi 'wouldn't want to be on camera'. She revealed: 'But one of my daughters would do [a TV show] but Lexi wouldn't want to be on camera, that's irony, whereas Hollie would, definitely.' Amanda added that teenager Hollie currently loves coming to Britain's Got Talent as she is 'put to work' as a runner and causes 'mayhem' with Simon's son Eric. She said: 'She loves coming with me to Britain's Got Talent, she makes Simon his ginger tea, she likes to be a little runner, so when she comes, they put her to work. 'She likes the crew hoodie, the snacks, she delivers snacks to the desk, goes around with Eric, creating absolute mayhem behind the scenes, god knows what they get up to anyway. 'She doesn't watch any of the show though, although she did when she decided to press the golden buzzer anyway. She didn't get a slap on the wrist because Eric was with her, so that's all good.'

The day before they were seen kissing on both a wood dock as well as in the water as they seemed like they could not pack in enough affection. Ibiza is one of the Balearic islands, an archipelago of Spain in the Mediterranean Sea. It's well known for the lively nightlife in Ibiza Town and Sant Antoni, where major European nightclubs have summer outposts. The Senorita singer was in a tiny white string bikini that was very flattering to her toned and slender figure as it was low on fabric but high on style Henry looked ready to swim in his red ombre swimming trunks as he wore black sunglasses on his head. The day before he had on black camouflage shorts. Camila wore her long hair down as she added a gold cross necklace and small hoop earrings. The singer's new love Henry is believed to be a member of the wealthy Chalhoub family, known for founding the Dubai-based luxury fashion company, Chalhoub Group. Before their trip to Ibiza, the couple were seen in Monaco at the Formula 1 races. Cabello and Chalhoub were first linked in November 2024 at an Elie Saab fashion show afterparty in Saudi Arabia. They sparked romance rumors when they were seen packing on the PDA as they frolicked in the ocean in St. Barts in January. The couple went to the pre-BAFTA Nominees party on February 15 in London.

Camp Bestival launches 'slomo wellbeing' to connect families with yoga, breath work and meditation after a boogie to Sir Tom Jones, of course
It's not unusual for Sir Tom Jones to headline a music festival and perform in front of 30,000 people. But the organisers of Camp Bestival insist that alongside an appearance from the global superstar this year's event will give families a unique opportunity - to improve their health and wellbeing. Camp Bestival is unveiling its first ever wellness festival designed to bring 'joy, calm, and connection' to visitors from the UK and beyond. Former radio 1 DJ Rob Da Bank and his wife Josie, who co-founded Bestival, believe it will provide the perfect antidote to families struggling with the day to day pressures of life in the modern digital age. Rob, 52, told MailOnline: 'Wellbeing is all about inclusivity and accessibility, and we really want families to give it a whirl. 'We are both so passionate about wellbeing and would love to see the children of tomorrow starting early and having some fun with it. 'Our whole mission is to make wellbeing accessible and to bring it on from the uber-trendy, slightly snooty wellbeing vibe. 'Everyone is struggling with mental health and anxiety and stress and should have access to that.' Camp Bestival - which runs from July 31 to August 3 - has grown into the UK's top family-friendly festival since the couple first launched the event which takes place at Lulworth Castle in Dorset in 2008. A young Ed Sheeran once played there before hitting the big time - performing in the woods to an audience of around 30 people - while headliners have included Chuck Berry, Brian Wilson, Mark Ronson, Simple Minds and Primal Scream. Sugababes and 90's dance act Basement Jaxx are topping the bill this year along with Sir Tom, 85. With eight out of 10 Britons opting for a staycation this year, according to one recent survey, the event offers music lovers the chance to enjoy a 'festi-holiday' camping out in the green green grass of home. And, for the first time, they will be able to make the most of the new Slomo Wellbeing Festival which will have its own chilled out section of the site. Described as being 'a festival within a festival', people of all generations will be able to take part in daily sessions that include breath work, meditation and yoga often blending ancient practices with contemporary twists. There's also reset retreats, luxurious hot tubs, saunas and ice cold plunge pools as well as massage and treatments. A 'dynamic mix of practitioners' will lead sessions throughout the day from mood lifting sunrise ceremonies to meditations under the stars. Taking inspiration from Nordic contrast therapy culture, the schedule also includes chill-out DJ sets, cooking demonstrations, cacao-fuelled dance mornings, sound therapy, mantra evenings, and family shake-out sessions. While drop-in wellbeing sessions are free, specialist treatments and experiences come at an extra cost and need to be booked in advance. Josie, also 52, said of the new space: 'You can walk through the doors and feel like you've entered a very beautiful, nurturing new world. It's very colourful and stylish. 'There's a real fun side to the wellness that we're offering. When Robby and I curate Camp Bestival we really try and offer families new things to try that they don't get to try in everyday life. 'We're really honoured to be able to do this for children and families. Life is hard at the moment and parents are stressed. If we can get more people breathing, doing exercise and really having fun together then that's a great thing. 'We cannot wait to throw open the doors.' A host of top acts will appear alongside headliners including Lightning Seeds, The Zutons, DJ Annie Mac and drum and bass star Goldie. Hundreds of free activities for families to explore include theatre, circus skills, science explorations, sports and a range of live performances including DJs, family raves, comedy and evening cabaret.
