Lizzie Cundy, 57, puts on a very leggy display in a red swimsuit as she soaks up the sun in Venice after her son Josh's lavish wedding
Lizzie Cundy put on a very leggy display as she soaked up the sun in Venice, following her son's lavish wedding. The TV personality, 57, showed off her figure in a red cut-out swimsuit while striking a pose in front of the water. In another snap, Lizzie looked incredible in a plunging purple midi dress with a daring thigh-high split detail as she explored the city. Sharing the series of images to Instagram on Tuesday, Lizzie wrote: 'Venice is the city of love… and I've definitely fallen!❤️ I'm gondola miss this place' It was a weekend of blessings, vows and happy reunions as Lizzie's son married his long-term partner in Italy. Cundy was among close family and friends on Saturday as Josh Miller exchanged vows with fiancée Martina Bassenger, a creative director for London based production company Sons of Rigor Films. With Venice serving as an appropriately romantic backdrop, the happy couple - who met five years ago - looked stunning as they posed for photos with their parents shortly after the ceremony. Martina opted for traditional white on the day, with the brunette walking the aisle in a custom floor-length gown and matching veil. Meanwhile Josh, an actor and producer, chose a smart two piece suit from Nathan Palmer Bespoke Tailors, offset with a white dress shirt and bow tie. Not to be outdone, the groom's mother stood out in an elegant pastel pink gown from luxe bespoke bridal specialists Katy Britton. Cundy, whose entire look was assembled by celebrity stylist, editor & fashion expert Marian Kwei, completed her ensemble with a matching hat from award winning milliners House Of Charles. Sharing an array of photos from the wedding on social media, she wrote: 'My boy only got married!…. I'm so proud I could burst!! Here's to the most beautiful couple Josh and Martina.. I've not stopped crying with joy.' The weekend provided a reunion of sorts, with the presenter accompanied by ex-husband Jason Cundy - the groom's father - for an additional series of photos as the reception spilled over into the evening. Radio broadcaster Cundy, a former footballer who played as a centre-back for Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Ipswich Town before retiring in 2000, opted for a cream linen suit as he watched his son exchange vows. The ex-footballer later took the microphone - and centre stage - as guests settled down to an al-fresco lunch, with his former wife later sharing photos on social media with the caption: 'Jason doing what he does best.' With the celebrations carrying on well into the evening, Cundy joked that her son's wedding could well match that of billionaire Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos - who married his long term partner Lauren Sanchez in Venice last month . Sharing a video of the bride and groom letting their hair down on the dance floor, she joked: 'Move over Jeff Bezos... this is how to do a wedding.' In a separate post, featuring Josh and Martina raising a celebratory glass following their wedding ceremony, she wrote: 'To the most beautiful couple.' Cundy previously discussed the breakdown of her marriage during an appearance on Vanessa Feltz's Channel 5 show in May. The presenter married Jason in 1994, with the couple welcoming two children before divorcing in 2010. 'At the time it broke my heart,' she told Feltz. 'As I said, I think I had a breakdown, I didn't eat, I lost an incredible amount of weight. I was very upset and Vanessa you were there and supporting me very much.' However, she explained that she has been able to move past the hurt and has since built a strong friendship with her ex-husband. She added: 'But life moves on and I say to everyone, make friends. There's no point being bitter and angry and that does go. And when I see him now, I don't think of that at all.'
