With summer right around the corner, many of us are fantasising about sun-drenched holidays, Aperols by the pool and - naturally - a new swimsuit to feel fabulous in. Sleek, stretchy, crinkle-textured bikinis and swimsuits are all the rage this year, thanks to designer brand Hunza G.
With a heap of celebrity fans, Hunza G offers swimwear in vibrant colours and a signature one-size-fits-all fit. However, with Hunza G prices starting from £90, assembling a complete summer swimwear collection can quickly become rather costly.
Fortunately, Victoria's Secret has entered its cool girl era with a new swimwear range that offers designer vibes at a fraction of the price. Its latest collection delivers all the sculpting, retro-meets-modern vibes of the trend without the hefty price tags.

The brand's Dream On bikini top and matching bottoms are crafted from an ultra-stretchy textured scrunch fabric designed to flatter every body type. Sold separately, the duo costs £101 - still significantly more affordable than Hunza G's £185 version.
Victoria's Secret also offers a one-piece swimsuit in the same crinkle-style fabric for £35. Compare that to Hunza G's £175 crinkle swimsuit at Net-A-Porter, and there's a saving of £140, as reported by the Manchester Evening News.

Singer worried over blindness whilst stuck in UK amid health issue

American singer Monica Martin was left stuck in the UK after experiencing issues with her sight recently, with her supported by actor Jameela Jamil and musician James Blake Singer-songwriter Monica Martin has described her experience with sight loss as "disorienting and scary". She opened up about her health just days ago and revealed at the time that she was stuck the UK as a result of the situation. Monica, who is based in the US, shared that she had ended up in hospital after an "ocular migraine slowly turned into" her left eye "going blind". She's said to have been supported by actor Jameela Jamil, 39, and musician James Blake, 36, in A&E whilst in London ahead of a concert last month. ‌ She said on Instagram last week that it had "been one of the scariest times". Monica announced in the same post that she wouldn't be able to open for the band Lake Street Dive at the Troubadour back in Los Angeles on June 25. ‌ Monica, who has collaborated on music with the likes of Ben Barnes in recent years, shared a series of photos in the post, including of her sporting an eye patch. One showed her beside couple Jameela and James in a waiting room. She wrote in her post last Wednesday: "UPDATE: NOT OPENING FOR LAKE STREET DIVE TONIGHT! What I thought was just an intense and painful ocular migraine slowly turned into my left eye going blind, I was advised to not fly home. So alas, I can't open for the best people/ friends/musicians tonight for a sold out benefit at troubadour which blows a**. "It's now been 15 days both colorblind and a black hazy cellophane type feel on the left side and ANYWAY it's been very disorienting and scary. Most of my little health woes are from me being clumsy as hell and snapping something: an ankle in softball, an ankle from dumb shoes, an ankle from giving a piggyback ride to a much larger person as a display of strength. My ankles are toast btw. This is why I don't like writing captions omg long ting brev; thank you for letting me be myself." Monica continued in her post: "Been one of the scariest times but my best friends are taking care of me and also are hilarious and also after MUCH ADO have met an angel ophthalmologist, Dolly, god forbid you ever need to find him, London, I must let you know his name." The singer, who performed with James at the Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall on June 20, added: "London show; you were all so sweet and caring to me when and I lost it and wept on stage smdh, [Jameela] came to the stage and literally turned herself into a weighted blanket and held me and told me it's gonna be ok. No thanks to lexapro btw." ‌ She added: "I'm on the way to get an MRI in an uber and unsure why no one likes using their car fan in uk/eu. and I've gotten ct scans and bloodwork and yada yada literally 7 trips to hospitals now. Anyway. I'm incredibly lucky. "My heart is heavy waiting on a prognosis, but my a** is heavier, and my resilience is alarming actually, and the lore disrespectfully deepens, and I'm getting the sense more people want to smash when I'm wearing my eyepatch- or, I'm pulling it off. Thank you, London." ‌ She then thanked pals Jameela and James for getting her "sweets and savouries". Monica also expressed gratitude to Lake Street Dive for "being the best cuties," adding that she was being replaced by the band Dawes. She said: "So I'm double p***ed bc I want to see this show real fuggin bad ok bye pulling up to get SCANNED." Jameela was among those who reacted to the post last week. Teasing over their experience, the Good Place star wrote in the comments section of her pal Monica's post: "What a glamorous day in A and E. Snacks were 10/10 tho." Monica has yet to post an update on her health on her Instagram grid. Just four days ago though, she was seen sporting an eye patch whilst singing alongside Citizen Papes in a video shared on the platform by the latter artist.

Two Emmerdale favourites rushed to hospital in horror emergency

Emmerdale viewers will be left stunned as two villagers are taken to hospital in a dramatic turn of events that no one saw coming. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Gabby goes on a diet to lose weight before her engagement party Credit: ITV 3 But her dangerous diet makes her faint and put another villager's life at risk Credit: ITV Next week on the ITV soap, Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) risks it all as she faints behind the wheel of a car - but who is in the passenger seat? Determined to drop a few pounds before her big engagement bash, Gabby's all smug as the early days of her risky diet seem to pay off. But as the week goes on, the hunger games catch up - leaving her tired, cranky, and totally wiped out. In the run-up to her engagement party, Gabby ditches proper food and downs a mega quadruple black coffee - buzzing on caffeine but starving for real fuel. Later, she drags herself to the garage to check on her dodgy motor. Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) - who is recovering from major surgery - offers to join her for a spin to spot the fault. But, neither has a clue the terrifying drama that's about to hit the road. Actress Rosie teased: "Gabby wants this picture-perfect day, and her insecurities are coming out. "She starts crash dieting and drinking a hell of a lot of coffee, and putting exercise at the front of her mind. She takes things drastically. "It's a recipe for disaster. Gabby hasn't been eating so feels very tired and dizzy, and faints behind the wheel – which causes her to swerve." Emmerdale star makes shock return - after mysteriously disappearing months ago Sarah is forced to slam on the brakes and pull over quick, even though it could rip open her fresh stitches from her surgery. With both women in a bad way, they head to A&E - will they be okay? Rosie shared: "At the hospital Gabby is diagnosed with low blood sugar. "The women in her life tell her how ridiculous it is she's risking her health and her life for one day, one dress. Soap's most harrowing teen storylines We take a look at other harrowing teen soap storylines from soaps Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks. Belle Dingle's schizophrenia in Emmerdale - Belle's (Eden Taylor-Draper) traumatic journey in Emmerdale took a dark turn when, after accidentally killing her best friend Gemma at just 16, her mental health began to spiral. The storyline, which saw Belle struggling with her grief and guilt, showcased her battle with hearing Gemma's voice inside her head, leading to a dramatic decline in her well-being. Hannah Ashworth's anorexia in Hollyoaks - Viewers were horrified as they watched Hannah (Emma Rigby), a seemingly innocent teen, spiral into dangerous behavior, starving herself in an attempt to achieve what she thought was the ideal body. As Hannah's condition worsened, the storyline became more intense, culminating in her being hospitalised for two months as she fought for her life. Bethany Platt's grooming ordeal in Coronation Street - Vulnerable schoolgirl, played by Lucy Fallon, was at the centre of one of Corrie's darkest storylines to date when she fell under the spell of her older boyfriend and sexual predator. The controversial scenes saw Nathan groom and manipulate the 16-year-old before coercing her into sleeping with his friends, with one of them raping her. Whitney Dean's abuse from Tony in EastEnders - Since the age of 12, she had been in a twisted relationship with her stepmum Bianca's boyfriend, Tony King. The predator had groomed young Whit (Shona McGarty), making her believe she was in love and planning to run away with him. On her 16th birthday, the traumatised teen finally revealed the years of abuse to Bianca. Tony was swiftly sent to prison sentenced for 13 years. "Then Vinny comes in and talks some sense into her. "It solidifies their desire to get married and put their priorities right." Will Gabby stop her irresponsible diet? Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, or stream from 7am on ITVX and YouTube.
