Millie Mackintosh shows off her toned figure in a skimpy cream bikini after admitting she wishes she got bigger breast implants
The former Made In Chelsea star, 36, displayed her physique in the gorgeous two-piece while soaking up the sun during a lavish family holiday.
The author showed off her endless legs, adding chic white shades and a large straw hat.
The doting mum-of-two, who is married to Hugo Taylor, celebrated her birthday with her loved ones just over the weekend as they whisked off for a summer trip.
While Millie looked as confident as ever in the clip, she recently confessed she sometimes wishes she got bigger breast implants.
Reflecting on her boob job in an Instagram video last week, Millie said her implants feel completely natural and she often forgets they're there at all.

'I think there is so much judgement out there and people feel like they can't talk about it. For me, what I wanted to create was what I had before kids,' she said.
'I didn't want to create something that was really unnatural on my frame. I think it's such a personal decision but I had a folder of boobs in my phone.
'I would just be obsessed with boobs. Looking at other people's boobs thinking, would that look good on me? I wanted small, pert round boobs like I used to have in my 20s when I was on the pill.
'After I had kids they grew so much when I was breatfeeding but I waited a year to see if they would come back to life and they didn't.'
Millie went for one of the smallest implant sizes you can get, but admitted she sometimes wishes she had opted for something bigger.
'I wanted to do it for myself, it wasn't anything I felt pressured to do by anyone else. My surgeon is called Paul Harris, he is honestly an artist,' she said.
'I actually ended up going smaller than what my surgeon recommended because I was too scared of them looking unnatural.
'He recommended going for 200cc's or 220cc's and I ended up going for 175 which are pretty much the smallest implants they make. If I had any regrets, sometimes I wish they were bigger - I think they are the right size for my frame.'
In recent days, Millie opened up about her dog helps keep her sober after she spent years battling alcohol issues.
She spoke openly about her issues with alcohol before going sober in 2022, and has since released a book about her struggles, entitled Bad Drunk.
And now in an interview with the Sunday Times, she has explained how owning her pug, Luna, as given her an additional focus.
She said: 'When you have a dog you're not waking up with a hangover, you're waking up and going for a walk along the river or meeting up with other dog owners.
'Having Luna helps me talk to people; I can be quite socially awkward. And I find when you've got a dog and another person's got a dog, you just have something to talk about.'
Millie, who is married to former Made In Chelsea co-star Hugo Taylor and is a mother to two daughters, admitted she 'barely recognises the person she used to be' as she shared a 'drunken' throwback snap in a candid Instagram post.
She went sober more than two years ago following the realisation that she had become an 'angry' drunk.
As an MIC original, Millie's early scenes on the show often revolved around partying and drinking leading to flare-ups with fellow cast members which she has since claimed got in the way of her relationships.
Continuing to raise awareness of sobriety and how much her life has changed for the good since going alcohol free, Millie wrote: 'Now vs. Then.
'Looking back ten years, I barely recognise the person I used to be—drinking heavily, always hungover, and completely lost.
'I was stuck in a cycle of self-medicating, not realising that the change I so badly needed was waiting for me on the other side of discomfort.
'Choosing an alcohol-free life has been the best decision I've ever made. It's the ultimate life hack—realising that I have the power to say no.
'Not because I have to, but because I get to. Sobriety isn't a sacrifice; it's a privilege, a gift I've given to myself, and one I'll never take for granted.
'The journey from bad drunk to alcohol-free has been the most transformative thing I've ever done. And hearing from so many of you who are on this path too means so much.
'Your messages about my book and your own experiences remind me why this conversation is so important.
'If you're navigating this too, know that you're not alone—we're in this together. How are you feeling about your own journey right now? Let's chat. ✨'
Millie decided to go and see a sober coach, who helped her and has now steered clear of booze for more than two years.

I visited the English theme park that's launched first-ever overnight stays – with new safari lodges and glamping tents
THE Cornish drizzle had set in upon arrival at our 'safari lodge' but nothing was going to dampen our spirits. After all, this wasn't just any accommodation — we had a theme park as our back garden. 5 5 5 Family favourite Camel Creek has welcomed visitors to its award-winning adventure park near Padstow since 1989, but until now, the fun always had to end at closing time. Following a £1million investment, this beloved Cornwall attraction now welcomes guests overnight with the launch of Camel Creek Camping & Glamping. And my 11-year-old daughter Lexi, husband Paul and I were among the first families to experience it. The site offers grass, hard-standing, and all-weather touring pitches plus luxurious glamping options including bell tents and safari lodges. The whole area has been beautifully landscaped: Think lots of twinkling lights, greenery and space. Our safari lodge, aptly named Sunset, overlooked West Country farmland stretching to the horizon. More importantly, it was just a two-minute walk from more than 40 thrilling rides and attractions. Despite being a sophisticated tent rather than a solid building, the lodge was surprisingly spacious — big enough to sleep nine — though smaller family safari tents sleeping up to four are also available. And it came with a private deck, en-suite bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. We were amazed by the luxury touches: Super-soft linens, quality towels and proper kitchen utensils that made it feel like a premium hotel under canvas. The seaside town of Newlyn in Cornwall has been dubbed as one of the 'coolest' places to relocate Luckily for us, Camel Creek is a fantastic day out no matter what the weather, as many of the rides and attractions are under cover. The park boasts more than 45,000sq ft of indoor play areas, ensuring families can enjoy themselves even on rainy days. Key covered attractions include the newly designed Hidden Garden indoor play and cafe, Creeky's Playhouse (an indoor soft play area), the 5D Theatre with moving seats and 3D glasses and various animal encounters housed in indoor facilities like the reptile house. The water rides are probably the best for adrenaline junkies — and those who don't mind getting wet, which Lexi didn't. As it was quiet due to the weather, she went on her favourite water ride Thunder Falls, six times in a row — drenched, yet in high spirits, by the time she got off. Luckily a hot shower was only moments away. Merlin's Magical Playground is ideal for younger children, and home to a ball pit and slides. Leopard cats Animal lovers will enjoy the meerkats, pets corner and the reptile house. And new for this year are owls and leopard cats. My favourite ride was Raging Rivers, water slides you bomb down. The climb up is a bit arduous, but it's worth the effort. Standing more than 20ft above the ground, it offers two different slide experiences — a long bumpy ride or an almost vertical-drop smooth ride that will leave your heart racing. After a few hours in the park, we headed back to our lodge to dry off then ventured out to the on-site restaurant. There is also a shop selling basic provisions if you want to cook. If it had been warm enough, we would have fired up the barbecue that came with our safari lodge set-up. Another time. The flexibility of having both indoor dining options and the ability to self-cater made our stay incredibly convenient, especially with unpredictable weather. After an action-packed day we were happy to retire to our lodge. The insulation and heating worked brilliantly, making the lodge surprisingly warm and cosy. It was hard to believe we were under canvas. Although the wind whipped up a little, we all slept well and stayed warm enough during the night. The next day, we had a couple more hours in the park. Arriving as it opened, we were delighted to be among the first on many of the rides. We loved our night of glamping at Camel Creek, even with the typical British weather doing its worst. With its mix of indoor attractions and cosy canvas accommodation, rain or shine, it's fantastic family fun. 5 5

Labour is robbing us in broad daylight with extortionate council tax hikes – but I know the solution
THERE is much to heed from the wit and wisdom of The Inbetweeners, the late Noughties TV series that dared to show teenagers in all their puerile glory. I still can't even look at a gentleman carrying a briefcase without stifling the urge to scream 'Briefcase w****r!' at him. 5 5 So James 'JayFromTheInbetweeners' Buckley's F-bomb-laced council tax outburst on his The Buckleys podcast, which he does with wife Clair, had my attention. James is the latest citizen to have been informed by his local council — understood to be Chelmsford, Essex — that he will now have to pay to have his 'green waste' removed. In a deliciously expletive-fuelled rant that would make his preposterous alter ego blush with pride, he seethed: 'What do you mean you're now charging? 'Don't f***ing start that s**t. We were always f***ing paying for it, it's called council tax. Why are you fing taking more money off me and doing less? 'And everyone up and down the country is saying the exact same fing thing — what the f*** is going on?' Hear hear! With one unfiltered flare-up James, 37, who, despite his generous facial furniture still resembles the infantile gobs**te he famously portrayed, has turned this spotlight on one of the most egregious public swindles of our time. Council tax is the new Dick Turpin, robbing us in broad daylight each year on the streets where we live. I'm sure you are painfully aware of how much your bill rose this year. I know I am. Haringey Council whacked mine up by 4.8 per cent. I was lucky. Some councils begged the Government to allow it to screw even more out of people than the supposed five per cent rise threshold. Free data roaming abroad and HUGE council tax bill reductions Windsor and Maidenhead Council went as far as to ask for an outrageous 25 per cent before that was over-ruled and they had to make do with fleecing locals with a mere nine per cent rise. We particularly hate council tax increases because all around us our streets seem to be getting ever more pot-holed while our bins increasingly overflow with crap. But we are stuck, beholden to cough up with the threat of a three-month jail sentence if we stop paying then refuse to clear our debts. So the rises will increase and, with a Labour government at the helm, don't be surprised if they go up even more, despite them flirting with the idea of freezing rates when they wanted us to vote for them. Yet it doesn't have to be like this. Yes, many councils and their often ludicrously paid chiefs are utterly incompetent, which has not helped their financial positions. A quarter could go bust But the reason every council is grasping for every penny it can get is ultimately down to one enormous and ever-growing cost: Social care. Local authorities have been charged with handling social care since the late 1940s when the NHS was set up to deal with the cradle-to-grave medical matters for the then-50million people living in Britain. Back then the average life expectancy was 66 for men and 70 for women. Fast forward to 2025 and that has now rocketed to 79 for men and 83 for women. 5 Of course, the longer we live, the more meals on wheels and home visits we need and the more residential centres need to be built. The list goes on and on, hoovering up more and more cash, up to 70 per cent of some councils' budgets. And in an absurd state of affairs, town halls' social care policies are mostly dictated by Westminster, so councils are forced to pay for and administer policies they have precious little power to control. It is hard to see this faltering system continuing without a wholesale collapse of the entire local government structure. Indeed, a recent Local Government Association survey revealed that up to a quarter of all English councils could go bust by the end of next year. One way to avoid this would be to make social care nationally funded. Take the revenue- raising responsibilities for it away from councils and just let them get on with administering it. And collecting James Buckley's lawn clippings. MOLLY IS TWO MUCH MY heart goes out to poor old Molly-Mae Hague. She's been having an absolute mare. As she admitted: 'I haven't done one social, fun thing. I haven't a life.' Well, Molly, I hate to break it to you but I'm not surprised you've had a bummer summer – someone has been having all the fun by pretending to be you. That's right, an exact replica of you has been spotted having a whale of a time enjoying five-star trips to Dubai, Paris and St Tropez over the past few months. This devious doppelganger was also spotted lapping up the luxury at Wimbledon, gadding about with stars like Rebel Wilson in the VIP suite. And on Thursday your lookalike was spotted at Manchester airport with a carbon copy of your fella, Tommy, heading off for yet another holiday. That should have been you having all those larks, not someone who looks and sounds exactly like you. If I were you I'd get on to your lawyer and issue a cease and desist letter to this outrageous imposter . . . whoever she may be. HAD a maddening experience this week with Yodel, who failed to deliver a parcel three straight days in a row despite claiming it was 'out for delivery'. By day four they gave up and insisted they could not find my address despite the clear road sign and a gigantic number on my door. They then insisted I send them one of those bizarre 'what3words' phrases to identify my apparently invisible abode. It took every fibre of my being not to reply with the three words: 'Yodel F***ing Sucks'. Cruz that meant to be, Becks? CRUZ BECKHAM looked like he'd gone from nepo baby to nappy baby as he posed aboard one of the two yachts his warring family are currently on, with a giant bulge in his shorts. It was one hell of a sight for sore eyes, but then Beckham minor went a step further, ribbing his old man by aping his legs akimbo Boss underpants ad, inset, by striking the same pose in a pair of £410 trunks. Brother Romeo summed up everyone's reaction, commenting on the shot with a simple, 'Jesus!' I bet Brooklyn was itching to pile in with a cheeky quip of his own until he remembered he's in the middle of some tedious row with his folks. I like that this ubiquitous family are always taking the mick out of each other. It makes their endless social media humblebrags easier to stomach. HELP YOUR SHELF POPPED to a local shop near work the other day and was somewhat surprised to see 'top shelf' titles among its magazine selection. And there was me thinking the traditional jazz mag had been all but wiped out by the onslaught of online porn. Some of these titles looked a little on the dated side, but there were enough on display to suggest an industry still, ahem, hard at it. And then it occurred to me, with the market having suddenly entered a state of flux, these publishers are simply playing the long game. Because, as of July 25, porn sites are obliged to gather details of, er, 'users' in order to verify that they are old enough to view adult material. The move has resulted in a huge drop in visitors, as many shy away from officially registering their carnal proclivities. One site, XHamster, has reported an 85 per cent slump in UK traffic, with the firm declaring: 'Our userbase has essentially vanished in a day.' Expect long queues at the newsagent in the coming days. lI'M glad The Naked Gun reboot is getting rave reviews as I saw a trailer during a trip to see Superman and it looked abysmal. But I was never worried that Liam Neeson wouldn't be able to muster the comic timing required to follow Leslie Nielsen's brilliant Frank. Not a year goes by when I don't play the clip from Ricky Gervais' brilliant Life's Too Short, where an exquisitely earnest Liam decides he wants to get into comedy. If you've seen it you'll know how hilarious it is and, if not, Google it, then hold on to your sides. Another woke warning ANOTHER day another 'trigger warning' slapped on a TV show millions once watched without taking any offence. This time it's Minder's turn, with delicate viewers warned the Eighties show, left, may contain phrases that could cause them to self-combust with fury such as, er, 'pull a bird'. People always get hot under the collar about these warnings but personally I'd like to see more – as many as possible in fact. The more woke warnings a show contains, the more I know it's something I'll enjoy watching.

The historic English manor that's launched a new Italian-like wine terrace in time for summer
Relaxing among the backdrop of an 18th century manor house, there are frankly few better ways to spend an evening SPA-TACULAR The historic English manor that's launched a new Italian-like wine terrace in time for summer I FEEL like I'm in a quaint Italian town as I sit listening to live guitar while enjoying a glass of wine in a beautiful ivy-walled courtyard. Yet I'm nowhere near Italy. I'm in the heart of Kent, visiting an historic health spa during its landmark 100th anniversary year.

From its quirky beginnings as the nation's first 'health farm', pioneering hydrotherapy in the '50s, to introducing Ayurvedic therapies in the '70s, and launching Britain's first wellness bootcamps in the '90s, the brand has always been ahead of the curve in wellness trends. This year, it is marking the milestone with a year-long 100 Years Young campaign. Think exclusive treatments and great products you won't find elsewhere.

The wine is the only UK entry to make the top 50 in the 2025 World's Best Vineyards Awards. A variety of amazing small plates, including a delicious whipped feta and flatbreads, are the perfect accompaniment. Of course, you could go bigger, with pizzas, burgers and sandwiches on offer (the sea pizza being a feast of garlic chili prawns, salmon and pickles).

The next day I was transported from Italy to France, with a beautifully laid out picnic on the manor grounds. Go on a virtual tour of the Champneys hotel - the perfect Mother's Day retreat Hopping into one of the hotel Range Rovers, I am assured by the driver that the walk would be far too difficult to do myself. Taking an entire three minutes, I feel slightly put out until I spot the size of the hamper being hauled from the boot with a bucket of champagne. Perhaps my driver was right after all.

Back at the spa, there are more centenary celebrations to delight, including two exclusive treatments.

Tucked next door are the Mews Cottages, with my room hidden behind a baby pink door. Inside, a comfy double bed and lounge look out over lush grounds, and I make the most of the roll-top bath and Elemis toiletries. Advertisement Complete with my leftover hamper strawberries. Not bad for a spa that's been doing this for 100 years. They've clearly learned a thing or two about la dolce vita.
