The sexy singer, who is mum to Bobby, 10, Cole, seven, and three-year-old Nate with husband Justin Scott, 42, was enjoying some time with her friends on a girls trip.

She shared the holiday with her followers on Instagram, and posted several incredible bikini snaps.

In one picture Kimberley – who shot to fame in 2002 on Popstars: The Rivals – showed off her toned, tanned body in a brown bikini.

In another, she sizzled in a white two piece.

Posting the pics on Instagram, she wrote next to them: “A weekend away with my girls we’ve waited 6 years for and it was good for the soul.

“Spending quality time like this is SUCH a treat.

“We laughed till we cried, reminisced and I loved every second of it.

“I am SO lucky to have these ladies in my life.”

Fans immediately rushed to compliment her on the stunning snaps, with one writing: You look incredible!”

While another added: “Absolutely stunning!”

This one said: “Hot stuff!”

GIRLS ALOUD REUNION

Kimberley was in her early 20s when she found fame in Girls Aloud, along with Cheryl, Nicola Roberts, Nadine Coyle, and the late Sarah Harding.

Following Sarah’s sad death from breast cancer, aged 39, the band got back together last year for their sell out tour, The Girls Aloud Show.

Speaking about reaffirming their friendship, Kimberley told The Sun: “We all reconnected in a really solid way, and that happens really quickly when you’re spending every day together.

“I’d still speak [to Nadine], but we’d lost touch on that level.

“That was one of the real treats of this whole thing, because I’d forgotten how hilarious she is. She had us howling.

“I loved learning the things we’d missed out on. It’s different now that we’ve got kids.”

While there were lots of laughs on tour, there were also a lot of tears, as the motivation for going back on the road was to have a celebration of Sarah.

“It was so emotional for us,” Kimberley admitted. “I’m not going to lie, during rehearsals when it was just us, the dancers and the people close to us, we had to let it all out.

“It was tough, but it made us stronger by the time we came to the actual shows.”

FUTURE OF GIRLS ALOUD

When asked about the future of Girls Aloud, Kimberley said: “We would never have thought we’d have done the tour.

“No chance. It was almost like a bonus for me that I didn’t know I needed.

“It was so special. So, basically, anything is possible. I think that’s the way to live, isn’t it?”

CHLOE Brockett and Jack Fincham have been pictured together in Essex after The Sun revealed they’ve reunited for the seventh time.

We exclusively told how the on-off pair decided to give love another go after their sixth split.

The reality couple broke up in April following a string of heated rows, with Jack moving out of their shared home.

They’ve now been seen out shopping at a Sainsbury’s in Grays, Essex.

Chloe, 24, looked trendy in a stone sweater and matching joggers – accessorising with suede slippers and a Louis Vuitton bag.

Jack, 34, meanwhile, opted for a grey T-shirt and cream trousers, completing his ensemble with white trainers.

But the outing hit a snag when Chloe’s £90,000 Porsche suffered a puncture.

Despite the car trouble, the pair remained upbeat, later heading home by taxi after the vehicle was recovered.

Chloe and Jack were recently spotted shopping at Swanley Market in Kent.

A source said: “Chloe and Jack have been on and off for months but have finally put their differences aside to give their relationship another chance.

“They really want to make it work so have been enjoying some low-key dates as they gradually build the trust.

“They have realised they have something special so want to put their time and energy into making it work.”

Last week, they sparked rumours of a reunion when they shared snaps on their respective Instagrams from the same East London market.

Jack posed outside the Birdcage pub at Bethnal Green’s Columbia Road Flower Market on Sunday.

Then Chloe posted from the same spot with a huge bouquet of flowers.

Just last month, Jack had told The Sun that he still loves Chloe.

He shared: “I don’t know what will happen between us.

“I still love her. I doubt it’s over for good.”

AN EastEnders favourite has been kicked out in a fiery row after his ‘cheating’ was exposed.

The BBC soap is no stranger to showing dramatic love lives in Albert Square.

Elaine Knight was furious – as a secret husband George kept came to light[/caption]

Elaine kicked George out – and was left in tears afterwards[/caption]

George Knight (Colin Salmon) faced the wrath of wife Elaine (Harriet Thorpe) after a secret came to light.

Up until now, Elaine believed George had been at a boxing match on Christmas Day – which explained blood being on him.

George’s son Junior (Micah Balfour) returned to Walford and the truth was revealed.

The pub landlord had actually visited Junior’s mother Sabrina – and kept it from Elaine.

He’d hoped to uncover the reasons behind Junior’s behaviour – such as sleeping with George’s ex-wife Cindy (Michelle Collins).

It particularly stung for Elaine, having gotten past George hiding that he was helping Cindy with new venture The Albert.

Behind closed doors, he tried to explain himself – but Elaine wasn’t having any of it.

“You expect me to believe she just threw herself at you?” Elaine said, before adding: “You must think I came down in the last rainfall.”

George insisted he’d only visited to talk, but Sabrina misread the situation and tried to kiss him.

He claimed the bleeding came when he pulled away and Sabrina slapped him – catching his nose.

Elaine was furious at George not only for lying, but also roping Gina (Francesca Henry) and Kojo (Dayo Koleosho).

George reiterated that he loved Elaine, but she said: “But you don’t trust me.

“Because if you trusted me, you would’ve come home that night and told me everything. You would’ve trusted that I would’ve believed you.

“You would’ve trusted that I’d have been by your side – like I have every single time.”

Elaine ultimately asked George to leave – saying she didn’t think he loved her enough.

When he continued to try and smooth things over, Elaine threw a glass at the wall and screamed: “Get out!”

After a pep talk from Linda (Kellie Bright) and Johnny (Charlie Suff), Elaine went to find George – only to be left heartbroken by seeing him comforting an upset Cindy.

EastEnders airs on BBC One and iPlayer.

LOVE Island is lining up a stunning Welsh brunette as a bombshell, The Sun can exclusively reveal.

Emily Moran, who lives in Sydney, Australia, has jetted to Mallorca and is set to turn the boys’ heads.

She’s from the same town as Nicole Samuel[/caption]

A source said: “Emily’s originally from Aberdare, the same town as Nicole Samuel from last year’s show.

“Her ex-boyfriend is tall dark and handsome so she’ll have plenty of options when she does make it into the villa.

“She’s been unlucky in love since moving down under and is hoping to find Mr Right with a little help from Maya Jama and the British public.”

The glam, well-travelled brunette is fond of a beach day, often stripping down to stylish bikinis to soak up the sun.

Last year she spent time in Ibiza, Mykonos, Mallorca, and the Amalfi Coast.

Emily last posted on social media two weeks ago and told followers she was a “happy girl”, while another post saw her say: “I love my little life”.

We exclusively revealed yesterday that one of the original villa girls has already been dumped from the villa.

A source said: “This girl will be sorely missed as was already proving to be a big character. She was absolutely gutted to leave.

“But the series has twists and turns at every stage and this isn’t the usual dumping viewers might expect after a bombshell arrives.

“Executive producer Mike Spencer-Hayter has promised drama for the tenth anniversary and this format point will not disappoint.”

It came after the first bombshell of the series, American Toni, was introduced last night and immediately stole Ben from Shakira.

However, viewers think the taxi driver isn’t interested after picking up on his body language and saying: “Ben doesn’t even look like he wants to be there. This season is about to be a mess.”

DAVE Portnoy has responded to the now-viral drama about his height in pictures.

The Barstool Sports founder reacted to the social media chatter about his listed height.

Last week, a TikTok user posted a video about Portnoy and claimed that the 48-year-old can’t be his listed height of 5-foot-10, per Google.

In an attempt to back up his point, the user shared two photos of Portnoy appearing to stand on his tippy-toes for pictures and said there was “no shot” that he was 5-foot-10.

There was one photo that showed Portnoy not standing on his tippy-toes, only to be slightly taller than a horse jockey.

The post went viral on TikTok and X, which led to Portnoy claiming it was all an “egregious lie.”

“Of all the lies told about me this is the most egregious,” Portnoy wrote on X in a reply to the video.

“People are literally photoshopping me standing on my tippy toes now.”

Unfortunately for Portnoy, his response would garner a community note.

“Dave Portnoy does stand on his tippy toes as shown in this video of him being photographed,” the fact-checker read.

The community note linked to a past clip of Portnoy appearing to stand on his toes for a photo.

The video even zooms into Portnoy’s feet to show him appearing to add several inches to his height.

Fans took notice of the community note and made Portnoy aware of the fact in the comments.

“Why are you lying to us?” one asked.

“Not the note [laughing emoji],” another wrote.

“This community note’s brutal lol,” a third added.

One of the old photos of Portnoy appearing to be on his tippy toes showed him alongside Bussin with the Boys podcasters and former NFL players Will Compton and Taylor Lewan.

And another photo showed Portnoy with soccer stars Harry Kane, Matt Doherty, and Eric Dier.

In the past, Portnoy has defended his height.

In 2023, he called himself “medium height” in a social media post.

“Bad news for the haters,” Portnoy wrote on X.

Ikea has announced its second location in Oregon has officially opened.

The store can be found in Beaverton, and comes as [part of Ikea‘s big plans to grow in 2025 and 2026.

Ikea has already opened five stores so far in the US, and plans to open an additional six before the end of the year.

The retailer also has early plans to open two more stores in 2026 already, with more as a possibility.

Rob Olson, chief operating officer at IKEA U.S., told USA Today: “At IKEA, we’ve always believed that a better everyday life starts at home—and that belief is at the heart of everything we do.

“As we expand across the U.S., our goal is simple: to be there for our customers, wherever they are and however they choose to shop.

“Whether it’s through our new small-format stores, our Plan & order points, or a more seamless digital experience, we’re working to make IKEA more accessible and convenient than ever before.”

Ikea plans to open three more Plan and Order stores and three large-format stores before the end of the year.

The three Plan and Order stores set for this year can be found in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, the Beaverton spot that has already opened, and in Hunt Valley, Maryland.

The New Jersey location is also opening in June, and the Maryland store is set for July.

Meanwhile, the three large-format stores are coming a little later in the year.

The first one is coming in July top San Marcos, Texas.

While the other two will fall in October and December in McAllen, Texas and Dallas, Texas.

PLANNING AHEAD

Ikea has said that the two stores already being planned for 2026 will be large-format ones.

These are set to be in Rockwall, Texas and Phoenix, Arizona.

Ikea has been making big moves since the beginning of 2025, and has already opened four Plan and Order points, as well as an additional pick-up location.

The four Plan & Order points opened this year include in Scottsdale, Arizona and Thousand Oaks, California.

The other two can be found in Ontario, California and Cola, California.

The pick-up point was opened in Santa Monica, offering a blend of online and offline shopping.

The store allows customers to place any order in store or online and pick it up for free the next day.

The company said: “This location also offers the full range of IKEA services, with the support of our home furnishings experts, including delivery, assembly, and financing.”

PRINCESS Kate has dazzled during a tour of London’s newest attraction.

The Princess of Wales, 43, has been shown around V&A East Storehouse after the site opened last month.

The three-storey attraction is situated on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London.

The Storehouse boasts half a million exhibits and archives from the V&A collections on show which are usually tucked away in storerooms accessible to visitors for free.

Where possible glass has been removed to get visitors closer to exhibits.

During the tour, Kate saw the storeroom in action and meet curators who collect, conserve and display the masterpieces.

It comes after the V&A East Storehouse opened in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London, on May 31, 2025.

It shows off everything from Elton John’s costumes and retro football shirts, to vintage Glastonbury memorabilia.  

It features a huge new David Bowie exhibition, opening in September 2025, with more than 80,000 items from the star’s life. 

Visitors can also see what happens behind the scenes in a museum – why and how they collect objects and how they look after them. 

This includes a glimpse at conservators preserving items like clothing, paintings and puppets.

The purpose-built home includes more than 250,000 objects, 350,000 library books and 1,000 archives from the V&A’s collections

According to the website: “Because the V&A’s collections span 5,000 years of human creativity, the team at Storehouse cares for everything from the pins used to secure a 17th century ruff to a two-storey section of a maisonette flat from the Robin Hood Gardens housing estate, demolished in 2017.

“The sheer scale of Storehouse means it is now possible to see other huge artefacts, including The Kaufmann Office (the only complete Frank Lloyd Wright interior outside of the US) and the spectacular 15th-century gilded wooden ceiling from the now-lost Torrijos Palace in Toledo, Spain.”

In a world-first, the centre offers an ‘Order an Object experience,’ which lets visitors book in advance to see a specific item up close, along with an experienced member of staff.

The Storehouse has opened a short walk from where the new V&A East Museum is being built, and which is scheduled to open in 2026.

Princess Kate has been busy of late, having officially named HMS Glasgow by smashing a bottle of local Scottish whisky against its hull, late last month.

Joined by her husband, Prince William, she uttered the time-honoured words: “I have the pleasure to name this ship HMS Glasgow, may God bless her and all who sail on her””

Then flicked up a small red ‘launch’ button to conduct the traditional naming ritual at the BAE Systems’ shipyard in Scotstoun, on the bank of the River Clyde in Glasgow.

A bottle of exclusive single malt whisky made by the nearby Clydeside Distillery smashed into the hull in the maritime tradition.

Kate has been the ship’s sponsor since 2021 and this was her first naming ceremony for a naval vessel.

Each bottle of the whisky sold includes a donation to HMS Glasgow’s chosen charity, Place2Be, of which the Princess is patron, and which supports children’s mental health in the city.

A bagpiper marked the start of the 25-minute ceremony before a P-8 Poseidon Maritime Patrol Aircraft from 120 Squadron at RAF Lossiemouth performed a flypast.

Sir Simon Lister, managing director of BAE Systems Naval Ships, and Second Sealord Vice Admiral Sir Martin Connell, gave speeches.

Sir Martin Connell thanked the Prince and Princess for their support in reaching the milestone.

DRIVERS in a US state could face fines of $200 or more for failing to follow a simple law relating to securing equipment and bulky cargo.

Recent data reveals that debris falling from trucks and other vehicles contributes to hundreds of crashes each year.

Utah troopers risk their lives clearing debris off highways – drivers are urged to secure cargo and slow down to prevent accidents[/caption]

With $3 million spent annually on cleanup, poorly secured loads are more than just a fine[/caption]

In fact, according to KSL, falling debris caused three fatalities on Utah roads last year, a decrease from the record high of eight in 2021.

“Think of a motorcyclist,” said Jason Mettmann of the Utah Department of Public Safety.

“Think of a small vehicle that has to collide with a big box, refrigerator, or whatever falls off your truck. At 70 mph, they don’t have much time to react.”

Clearing debris from Utah highways is also a hazardous task for state troopers.

Justin O’Driscoll, a trooper, revealed that he frequently stops drivers for load security violations before accidents occur.

“This week, every day that I’ve worked, I’ve stopped a commercial vehicle with insufficient load security. Every single day,” O’Driscoll said.

“I’m sure that is common for most troopers.”

The problem stems from various sources, with commercial rigs carrying poorly secured equipment being a significant contributor.

However, individual drivers transporting furniture or other items are also at fault.

A first violation carries a $200 fine, with penalties increasing for subsequent offenses.

In the event of debris on a roadway, Utah residents should be aware that troopers may drive in a swerving pattern to slow traffic.

This allows them to cordon off lanes, exit their vehicles, and safely remove debris.

Drivers are also urged to brake and avoid passing troopers in these situations to prevent accidents involving officers or other vehicles.

According to a report, the Utah Department of Transportation spends approximately $3 million annually on cleaning up debris and litter.

DEALER DEALT

This comes as a dealership based in St. George, Utah, nearly lost out on $51,000 after a man attempted to sell them a stolen truck.

The company was prepared to hand over cash for a Chevrolet Duramax truck until an employee noticed a tiny detail.

A dealership employee caught on when they spotted a suspicious vehicle identification number during the transaction.

After they double-checked, the code came back as invalid.
