Olivia Bowen displayed her growing baby bump in a navy bikini on Thursday as she soaked up the sun during a babymoon with her husband Alex.
The former Love Island star, 31, looked every inch the glowing expectant mother as she sat on the edge of a hot tub during a loved-up break at the Wilderness Reserve in Sussex.
Olivia, who is 34 weeks pregnant, looked relaxed and at peace as she lifted her head towards the sun while soaking her feet in the water.
The blonde beauty, who teamed her two-piece swimwear with dark sunglasses, was later joined by her husband, who rested his head against his wife while showing off his hunky frame.
Olivia also uploaded a romantic video of herself and Alex packing on the PDA while sitting together on a sun bed.
Alex, who shares son Abel, two, with Olivia could be seen kissing and doting on his wife as they took in a sunset while clad in matching pink robes.
The couple, who met in the Love Island villa back in 2016, looked as loved up as ever as they counted down the days till they welcomed their second child.
It comes after Olivia showed off her blossoming bump last month, just weeks ahead of welcoming her baby daughter.
Olivia displayed her bump in a casual bralette and joggers as she shared candid insight into her final weeks of pregnancy.
She captioned the snap: 'She's so high now right up in my lungs'.
In July, Olivia posted a sweet clip from her family of three as they enjoyed their last holiday all together before the birth.
It looked like a truly relaxing trip, with the trio appearing to be spending the majority of their time at the beach.
Olivia wrote: 'Another trip to Spain - the last one before baby girl comes, and next we'll return as a family of four to our own villa out here - never felt so lucky.'

The stunner wore a colourful bikini for the beach trip, accessorising with a pair of dark sunglasses while her husband and son wore beige swimming trunks.
In another snap with Alex, Olivia showed off more of her extensive summer wear collection, this time wearing a blue bralet that comfortably sat above her growing bump.
The star kept it cool on the trip too, covering up with a black and white mesh sundress as she cuddled Alex and Abel on a lounger.
Olivia announced that she was expecting in February of this year and has been keeping fans updated with her pregnancy.
Sadly, it has not been smooth sailing for the family as Olivia was expecting twins, but sadly lost one of her babies eight weeks into her pregnancy.
She made the revelation on Loose Women, where she recounted their tragic experience of vanishing twin syndrome.
The couple were told they were having twins just before Christmas, when they attended an early six week scan.

Savvy mum shows off Minecraft bedroom & blows everyone away – as £8 of paint looks as good as £247 pro wallpaper

A SAVVY mum saved herself hundreds of pounds after creating a bespoke Minecraft bedroom for her son. Elizabeth Doherty wanted to give her son's bedroom a revamp while keeping the costs down. 2 2 The mum's son is obsessed with Minecraft and she wanted to give him a bedroom he'd love. But instead of splashing out on a wall mural, like the Wallart one above that costs £247, she decided to give it a go herself. Using some leftover paint she had at home and a pencil she created a Minecraft masterpiece and shared it on social media. "My wee boy wanted a Minecraft room and I couldn't find <inecraft wallpaper so I tried to paint a wall," she wrote. She first painted half of the wall blue to represent the sky, adding some white squares to look like the clouds in Minecraft. Once done, she stencilled the Minecraft logo on to the middle of the wall and used grey and black paint to create a shadow effect. For the bottom of the wall, she used a mix of green and brown paints to recreate the cubes of earth and grass found in the game. But instead of forking out for ten different paints, she decided to use tester pots to save cash. She added: "For anyone wanting to have a go themselves, I used Johnstone paint tester pots from B&M for the bottom as it was cheaper than buying whole tins. "And I used old paint I already had for the top (it is DIY on a budget after all)." I asked ChatGPT how to transform my bedroom in a single step - all I needed was a Homebase buy & now it's like paradise For a final finishing touch she bought her son some Minecraft bedding. The clip has since gone viral after it was shared on the Facebook group DIY on a Budget. People were quick to praise the mum for her DIY skills.

Firefighters race to contain wildfires in Greece as thousands evacuated

Firefighters have been racing to contain wildfires that forced thousands to flee holiday resorts on the southern Greek island of Crete, while neighbouring Turkey grappled with its own deadly blazes that claimed at least two lives. More than 5,000 tourists, hotel workers and residents were evacuated from the Ierapetra area along Crete's southern coast, authorities and hotel association officials said. A small number of people fled into the sea and were rescued by local fishermen and divers. Ierapetra mayor Manolis Frangoulis said firefighters were working to prevent flare-ups and take advantage of a lull in high winds. 'Thankfully no one was hurt but it's a difficult situation,' he said. Displaced tourists were relocated to other hotels or spent the night in an indoor basketball stadium. Several homes and businesses were damaged. Separately on Thursday, a wildfire near the port of Rafina, about 20 miles east of Athens, disrupted local ferry services to the islands. Police went door-to-door to assist elderly residents while carrying out an evacuation order. In western Turkey, a local forestry worker was killed while trying to contain a fire near the town of Odemis, and an 81-year-old resident died from smoke inhalation, authorities said. It marked the first fatalities in a series of wildfires that have forced thousands to flee. Meanwhile, hundreds of firefighters, supported by aircraft and helicopters, were deployed to battle a wildfire near the Aegean coastal town of Cesme, a popular holiday destination about 120 miles west of Odemis. That fire, which began on Wednesday, forced the evacuation of three neighbourhoods and led to road closures. Television footage showed flames racing through dry vegetation on both sides of a major road. Over the past week, Turkey has battled hundreds of wildfires fuelled by strong winds, extreme heat and low humidity. Now mostly under control, the blazes have damaged or destroyed about 200 homes. Summer wildfires are common in both Greece and Turkey, where experts warn that climate change is intensifying conditions. Late Wednesday, Turkey's parliament adopted a landmark climate law targeting net-zero emissions by 2053. The legislation includes measures to establish a carbon market board to oversee efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The law comes at a time when Turkey is increasingly grappling with issues related to climate change, from searing heatwaves to prolonged droughts, experts say. 'As a Mediterranean country, Turkey is highly vulnerable to climate change,' said Gizem Koc, a lawyer with the UK-based environmental advocacy group ClientEarth. 'The most striking vulnerability is the drought and water stress in some regions, but also there is increasing frequency of floods and other extreme weather events.'

Holly Valance and Nick Candy's shock split turns messy as ex-Neighbours star vows to take billionaire ‘for every penny'

HOLLY Valance has vowed to take estranged billionaire husband Nick Candy 'for every penny' after their recent split, we can reveal. The Aussie pop star, 42, has told friends she feels like the 'injured party' in the break up from the 52-year-old because it was 'not on her terms'. 4 4 It comes a week after The Sun revealed ex-Neighbours star Holly and Brit property magnate and Reform UK treasurer Nick had ended their 14-year marriage. A source said: 'Holly is incredibly upset. Her main concern is, and always will be, for their two daughters. 'But when it comes to the divorce, she's made it clear she wants what she's owed and will take Nick for every penny. She insists that she is the injured party in this.' It is understood the pair signed a pre-nuptial agreement before they tied in the knot in 2012 in a lavish £3million wedding. The source added: 'It's been a very painful time for Holly and she has told friends that the split was not on her terms. 'Given the circumstances it feels as if there could be some room to manoeuvre. 'Whatever the sum ends up being, it will be in the tens of millions of pounds.' Holly, whose 2002 debut album produced three Top Ten hits, was seen for the first time since the news of the split earlier this week. She was not wearing her engagement or wedding ring as she got off a flight landing at London's Heathrow. In a statement, a spokesman for her and Nick confirmed they were divorcing, adding 'This is a private matter. We won't be making any further comment.' Holly Valance and billionaire property tycoon Nick Candy 'SPLIT' - 13 years after lavish Las Vegas wedding The pair were last photographed together in March going for lunch in London. They first met in 2009 and Nick proposed two years later in the Maldives. They married in California in front of 300 guests, including Simon Cowell. Holly found fame on Australian TV soap Neighbours as Felicity Scully before launching her pop career. Nick started his property business with brother Christian in the early Nineties while working in advertising. They now have a vast portfolio, including One Hyde Park, an 86-apartment building in central London worth just over £1billion. Last year, Nick announced he had given up his Tory Party membership in favour of Reform. He was appointed treasurer in December and pledged to raise tens of millions for Farage, including pledging a seven figure sum. 4
