AMY Schumer has displayed her incredible 50lb weight loss in a bikini while soaking up the sunshine.

The 45-year-old actress and comedian, who revealed last year that she was taking weight loss jab Mounjaro, has shown off her slender figure on a boat.

“I never knew there would be days like this. No filter as per ushe,” Amy, who filed for divorce from her husband in January, penned in the caption.

Fans and friends flocked to the comments to swoon over the stunning snaps.

“I’m so happy you’re happy,” said one person.

“So beautiful, Amy. Happy and thriving,” wrote another.

“Sensational,” gushed a third, while a fourth said: “Yeah get it girl!”

More than a year ago, the Trainwreck star revealed she was taking Mounjaro in an Instagram video.

In the video she shared last March, Amy noted how the drug is not covered by insurance unless a patient has diabetes or severe obesity.

“Which most of the internet thinks I have,” she joked.

“But I’m having a really good experience with it, and I wanted to keep it real with you about that.”

Amy previously confessed to having taken Ozempic and having a “horrible experience” with it.

Speaking on The Howard Stern show, she said: “I have this gene, GDF15, which makes you extremely prone to nausea, which is why I was so sick during my pregnancy.

“So, I tried Ozempic almost three years ago and I was, like, veteran.

“I was, like, vomiting — and then you have no energy. But other people take it and they’re all good. God bless them.”

She explained how she “lost 30 pounds so quick” but noted how the nausea she experienced was awful.

In 2024, the actress and director revealed she had been diagnosed with Cushing’s Syndrome, which was caused by having steroid injections in high doses.

She then spoke out about how the trolling she received over her “moon face” led to her diagnosis.

Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast hosted by Alex Cooper last year, she said: “A year ago, the Internet really came for me.”

Amy was referring to how last January she appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, when people commented on her “puffy” and “swollen” face.

AMANDA Holden sizzled in a tiny green bikini as she posed up a storm on poolside in sunny Corfu.

The Britian’s Got Talent judge, 55, showed off her amazing figure as she wowed in the skimpy swimwear on holiday.

Amanda looked incredible as she was snapped getting out of the pool.

She completed her look with a straw sun hat, oversized sunglasses and gold jewellery.

The telly favourite posted the pictures on her Instagram and tagged fashion designer Melissa Odabash in the caption.

Many rushed to the comments section to share how stunning she looks.

One said: “Perfect.”

Another wrote: “Just beautiful.”

A third chimed in: “Swimwear queen.”

“Sensational,” a fourth chimed in.

A fifth commented: “So gorgeous xx.”

Last month Amanda flashed her toned figure in a bright red bikini as she relaxed on a swing.

The star was all smiles as she swayed in the summer sunshine, accessorising her matching two-piece with a pair of sunglasses.

She kept her blonde hair in loose natural waves and was clearly relishing her tanning time.

Amanda uploaded a series of snaps to Instagram showcasing her Melissa Odabash swim gear as well as a video showing her on the wooden playground equipment.

In her caption, she revealed how she had teamed up with her BGT co-star Alesha Dixon for her sun-soaked day.

She later captured a snap showing fashion brand founder Melissa and Alesha, who had chosen a nude swim top paired with a chunky gold necklace.

Amanda then wrote: “The best day in this beautiful weather! Wearing @melissaodabash of course.

“Swipe to see the bikini queen herself along with my lovely @aleshaofficial – what a fab lunch all together – with our girls too”.

Brand founder Melissa was then quick to reply: “OK officially red is my fav colour on you looking insane and so great catching up with the girls”.

The tour operator will offer both standalone flights and package holidays to the sunny destination, which offers both beautiful beaches plus lots of cultural and historic attractions

Jet2 has announced it’s launching flights and holidays to Tunisia for summer 2027, with the airline opening bookings for holidaymakers looking to get away from May 1 to October 31 next year.

The tour operator will offer new flights from Birmingham, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, London Stansted, and Manchester. Customers who book a package holiday will be able to choose from a range of 3 to 5-star hotels situated in the resorts of Port el Kantaoui, Skanes, Mahdia, Sousse, Yasmine Hammamet, and Hammamet.

All flights will arrive in Enfidha–Hammamet International Airport in the north of the country, close to the capital of Tunis and some of Tunisia’s most popular resorts.

Jet2’s new flight schedule will offer twice-weekly flights on Wednesday and Saturday from Birmingham and London-Stansted, plus two flights a week covering Manchester on Tuesday and Friday. East Midlands and Leeds Bradford airports will get weekly flights.

Once you arrive, there are lots of places to explore, from the vast Medina of Hammamet to the palm-tree lined seaside of Sousse. Take a day trip to the Roman Amphitheatre of El Jem, full of incredible stories about the wild animals caged in its dungeons and its gladiator battles, where 30,000 spectators once cheered on its bloody spectacles.

Further south, you can discover desert landscapes and shimmering salt flats. Explore the filming locations for the original Star Wars trilogy, and visit traditional Berber cave homes carved deep into the mountains.

Visit Tunis for the day and explore the labyrinth of market stalls, mosques, and houses all found in one concentrated, slightly chaotic space. Dating back to 698, this colourful medina is now home to one-tenth of the city’s population. But if you enter, be sure to watch out for landmarks, as it’s easy to get lost within its walls.

You can also visit the Bardo National Museum, home to the largest collection of Roman mosaics in the world, and artefacts found in the city of Carthage from the days when Tunisia was a major trading hub for the Ancient Mediterranean.

This announcement brings the total number of Jet2 destinations for summer 2027 to 70, and the tour operator has recently announced new services to Hurghada and Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt, as well as Kavala in the north of Greece.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2, said: “With year-round sunshine, rich culture and fantastic sunshine, Tunisia has something for everyone and we know how immensely popular it will be.”

Fakhri Khalsi, acting UK Director at the Tunisian National Tourist Office, said: “We are delighted to welcome the launch of Jet2’s holiday and flight programmes to Tunisia starting in summer 2027. This announcement represents a significant milestone in our efforts to strengthen Tunisia’s position as a leading Mediterranean destination and reflects the growing confidence of major travel operators in our tourism offering.”

SIGHT SEA

£9.50 holidaymakers’ favourite Skegness activities… away from the beach

The Imperial, Exeter

Often dubbed the ‘fanciest’ Wetherspoons in the country, Exeter’s Wetherspoons called The Imperial boasts a vaulted orangery and a huge pub garden.

The grounds on the former hotel turned pub are scattered with picnic tables with a wrap-around patio area shaded by draping wisteria in the springtime.

The Jolie Brise, Teignmouth

In the Devonshire seaside town, and just two-minutes from the beach is The Jolie Brise.

On the pretty rooftop garden you still get a beachy-feel thanks to its wooden slatted exterior, palm trees and seagulls gliding overhead.

The Dockle Farmhouse, Swindon

This pub in Swindon actually has two outdoor areas, one with a children’s play area and the other, an adult beer garden with picnic tables and parasols.

You can pick up a glass of Cold Creek rosé for as little as £2.10 and pints from £1.49.

The Old Manor, Bracknell

Bracknell’s Wetherspoons is inside is one of the oldest-surviving buildings in the town.

It has Tudor-style windows and dark brick which can all be admired from its beer garden and grassy area to the side.

With plenty of greenery, some visitors even say it’s the ‘prettiest’ Wetherspoons gardens they’ve been to.

The Royal Victoria Pavilion, Ramsgate

It’s hard to beat the views across Ramsgate Beach from the rooftop of the UK’s largest Wetherspoons .

The outdoor rooftop terrace wraps around the entire building, with enough tables and chairs to fit hundreds.

The best views are found at the very back, with the pub backing onto Ramsgate’s artificial sandy beach.

The Sun’s Deputy Travel Editor, Kara Godfrey said: “It’s definitely huge so you don’t have to worry about being crammed in even on a busy Saturday.

“The pub boasts 11,000 square feet of drinking space – including a huge terrace over the beach – and holds 1,500 punters.

“There are more than 400 seats inside, with another 200 out the back too.

“The downstairs has tables, bar seats and Victorian-style wooden booths, as well a very long bar, so getting around is easy.

“But the best spot is the massive terrace, with incredible views over the sandy beach.”

The Mossy Well, Muswell Hill, London

The Mossy Well is one of those Wetherspoons that pays great homage to its roots, especially in its garden.

Formerly an Original Express Diary, visitors will find a wooden cow tucked under one of the tables – and it’s even turned an old milk float into a bar.

The patio area is covered, so you can sit ‘outside’ even in the rain – not that you’ll need to worry about that this weekend.

The Fox on the Hill, Camberwell, London

Thanks to the pub being inside an old hotel, The Fox on the Hill pub garden has oodles of room to enjoy a pint in the sunshine.

Each table is spread out so you won’t feel too close to other pubgoers either.

This garden is in Zone 2 London, which is incredible because the front lawn is as big as a country field.

The Sun’s Head Of Travel – Digital, Caroline McGuire said: “The Fox On The Hill is the perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon with friends and family.

“The picture above doesn’t even do this pub garden justice, it is absolutely massive so the kids can run around and play far from any punters enjoying their drinks.

“There’s also a covered garden out back, in case it starts to rain.”

Cooper Rose, Sunderland

The rooftop beer garden at the Cooper Rose opened four years ago and is a whopping 3,000 square feet fitting around 200 punters.

The pretty patio is filled with greenery, flowers, fairy lights – there is a bar upstairs too so you don’t have to leave the sunshine for another drink.

The Kingfisher, Poynton

Tucked away in Cheshire is the Kingfisher Wetherspoons where customers say you’ll find ‘sun trap tables’ and ‘cheap ale’.

You can pick up a Shipyard Pale Ale for £1.99.

Livery Rooms, Keighley

While it’s not strictly quite the classic beer ‘garden’, the Livery Rooms has a pretty outdoor courtyard split over two levels.

It’s filled with plenty of tables, and when the sun goes down during the evening, it’s just as lovely as the area is lit up with string lights.

Mile Castle, Newcastle

Dubbed a ‘super Spoons’, the Mile Castle became home to the first Wetherspoons hotel back in 2024 and had a major facelift.

Outside is a 200-cover beer garden set across two floors – and you can enjoy a pint of Ruddles Best from £1.79.

A small all-day brunch, which includes sausage bacon, fried egg, beans and chips is just £7.49 

The Navigation Inn, Birmingham

The Navigation Wetherspoons is found inside a historic inn near the old village green in Kings Norton.

It not only has a conservatory with a peaked roof, but a large patio garden with lines of tables and gazebos offer shade for when it gets a little too hot.

Scarsdale Hundred, Beighton, Sheffield

The Scarsdale Hundred Wetherspoons is found inside a distinctive round building in Beighton and can seat 600 punters outside.

The garden is curved around the pub and has a central canopy and can be enjoyed well into the summer evenings permission has just been approved to enjoy pints until 1.30am in 2026.

The Velvet Coaster, Blackpool

Consistently called one of the most beautiful Wetherspoons, The Velvet Coaster sits next to Blackpool’s South Pier within walking distance from its Pleasure Beach.

Named after one of the most-loved rollercoasters in the early 1900s, the pub has impressive views across the promenade, especially from its rooftop garden.

It has plenty of seating in comfy bucket chairs and a glass balcony so you won’t miss any action at the beachfront. 

The Wouldhave, South Shields 

It might not be one of the prettiest Wetherspoons in the country, but The Wouldhave in South Shields has a pub garden to shout about.

Sitting in one of Wetherspoons’ signature orange chairs, you can order a refreshing lager from £1.99.

ANGELINA Jolie’s ex Jonny Lee Miller has found love once more.

The 53-year-old is romancing a 27-year-old Pilates teacher with the couple having enjoyed a sun-soaked holiday together.

Actor Jonny was married to Angelina in the late 90s for three years before the pair’s split.

But now, according to the Mail, he has been secretly loved-up once again for almost a year.

The publication reports that Jonny and glam Manuela Diago have been dating since June 2025.

Earlier this month, he shared a loved-up snap of them on Instagram as they attended a pal’s wedding.

Angelina’s ex has had his eye on his new flame for some time – liking her social media content as far back as October 2024.

In addition, several of her snaps seem to be taken in Jonny’s New York abode.

The couple also holidayed in Malta in March – two months before news of their romance became public.

The Sun has reached out to Jonny for comment.

Jonny’s best-known romance was with Angelina.

They married in 1996 but split 18 months later and went on to formally divorce.

Despite splitting, they have remained relatively close and even sparked romantic reunion rumours in 2021.

That year, they were spotted on several outings together.

Around the time, there were reports he had also begun to bond with two of her sons – Pax and Knox.

Meanwhile, between 2008 and 2018, Jonny was married to Michele Hicks and the pair have a 17-year-old son, Buster.

The Cotswolds is famous for its beautiful scenery, charming market squares and iconic stone houses. However, a common issue keeps springing up when the sun is shining

This Bank Holiday weekend promises glorious sunshine, and plenty of us will be seizing the opportunity to venture out on day trips.

Britain boasts an array of stunning destinations right on our doorstep – the Cotswolds among them. The region hasn’t just served as a backdrop for films, it’s also become a social media sensation, drawing visitors from across the globe.

Countless people relish wandering through the lush countryside, picturesque stone cottages and bustling market squares. They also descend in their thousands upon the wealth of pubs, independent shops, farm outlets and tearooms.

Yet the storybook villages aren’t always quite so perfect in reality. That’s because many have been hit by overtourism in recent years.

Traffic jams, parking disputes and pressure on local amenities are among the problems that have emerged. In fact, residents are so fed up they’re urging people to stop going altogether.

Illustrating the effect on both locals and tourists alike, a visitor named Chloe recorded footage in Bourton-on-the-Water this month. The stunning Gloucestershire village is renowned for its river and distinctive bridges.

On quieter days, it feels wonderfully tranquil to settle beside the water and absorb the surroundings. Yet it becomes extremely busy during peak season and on sunny weekends, with bottlenecks forming on the bridges and along the riverbank.

Following her visit on a sunny day, Chloe cautioned: “What should have felt peaceful was packed and overwhelming.

“The sheer amount of tourism must keep local businesses thriving – but it was hard not to feel like the charm is being worn down in this quaint, rural village. Visit with caution and maybe at 6am in the morning to beat the crowds.”

Chloe’s video struck a chord with many, racking up more than 13,100 likes alongside a flood of comments from frustrated locals struggling to go about their everyday lives.

One resident pleaded: “Please stop coming here, I’m just trying to get to work.” Another sympathised, writing: “My mum lives there and says it’s a battle just to get to the shops for some milk. I couldn’t do it!”

A third added: “I live here and genuinely don’t remember the last time I took my kids down to the river or even for an ice-cream on a nice day because it’s just too overwhelming. I’ve never seen traffic like it. It’s taking some people over an hour to get from one end of the village to the other just to get home.

“It’s a pretty village, yes, but other residents and I feel something needs to be done with how stupidly busy it gets.”

Nevertheless, some offered helpful tips for those planning a trip. Visiting during the off-season is widely recommended as the best way to soak up the surroundings without the mayhem.

One commenter suggested: “I prefer visiting the Cotswolds during autumn and winter because it’s much calmer. It’s mostly spring and summer that is so busy. The Cotswolds can be very quiet when it’s colder – and in my opinion the atmosphere is so much better on colder days.”

A second visitor agreed, adding: “We went in March. Had the place to ourselves. We had been before in summer and it was hell, so learnt our lesson!”

YOU CAN swap the Aegean coast for a cheaper rival destination that hits 25C in June and is just three hours from the UK.

Come summer or winter, Bulgaria is a great European destination to visit, but one spot in particular boasts a Mediterranean feel for less – Obzor Beach.

Follow The Sun’s award-winning travel team on Instagram and Tiktok for top holiday tips and inspiration @thesuntravel.

Found in the Bourgas region of the country, Obzor Beach sprawls across nearly five miles and boasts a Blue Flag status, recognising the beach for its safe feel and picturesque vibe.

Just to add to the prettiness of the spot, the beach is also backed by mountains.

And the great news is that the sunny destination is cheaper than many popular Mediterranean spots and even, less crowded too.

Our travel experts’ best-kept-secret UK holiday spots for summer – from £37 a night

According to First Choice, an all inclusive stay costs just £459 per person at Obzor Beach, whereas along Turkey‘s Aegean Coast – including destinations like Bodrum – you’d be likely to spend around £400 more per person for a similar holiday in June.

Obzor used to be known as Heliopolis, meaning the City of Sun before later becoming the Roman settlement of Templum Iovis.

Some of the settlement can still be seen today, such as column fragments found in local parks.

And if you visit Obzor Beach, you shouldn’t be short for space to spread out as the beach is one of the longest in Bulgaria.

When heading to the beach, visitors can choose between free public spots where they can put up their own parasol or head to one of the sections managed by nearby hotels and beach bars where they can hire a sunbed.

One recent visitor said: “One of the most beautiful beaches in the whole of Bulgaria.

“Relatively clean and well maintained with a lot of activities to do.

“Waves are amazing and fun to fight.”

Make sure to visit Sloboda Square in the old town too, where you can enjoy an immersive dining experience at Hanove, complete with castle-like entrances and stone clad walls.

Alternatively, you could opt to visit The House Bar & Dinner, which is the top rated restaurant in the area on TripAdvisor, with traditional Bulgarian dishes including Bulgarian potatoes with cheese and bacon.

In the town visitors can find a museum as well, which recounts the history of Obzor and its inhabitants including an ancient village.

There’s also the beachfront promenade where visitors will find an abundance of bars, shops and restaurants to explore.

Want to be away from the main hustle and bustle? Then make sure to stay at the four-star Hotel Sol Luna Bay, with three pools, a waterpark and spa.

Sarah Jooste, Product Portfolio Executive at First Choice said: “Not many people think of Bulgaria for a relaxing beach break.

“Many have heard that Sunny Beach is a great option for nightlife, but for a chilled holiday people reach for the classics like Greece and Turkey.

“But Obzor beach averages about 25C in summer and from London the flight time is about three hours and 20 minutes – so not only is it cheaper than the EU classics, but it’s closer too.”

IF you don’t fancy the faff of an airport this summer, why not pop over to one incredible coastline that’s mere hours away from the UK?

You can get to the beautiful French region of Normandy by ferry or the Channel Tunnel to explore its beaches and pretty fishing villages – so there’s no need to even set foot on a plane.

Follow The Sun’s award-winning travel team on Instagram and Tiktok for top holiday tips and inspiration @thesuntravel.

Airbnb has revealed the trending destinations this summer and for Brits, one spot that is increasing in popularity is Normandy.

It stated that not only is the French countryside in demand, but so are “rural coastal bookings”.

The Normandy region is generally much quieter than other tourist hubs in France like Paris, the Côte d’Azur, or the Dordogne.

If you’re tempted to visit, here are some places to consider – one Sun Writer discovered “village life” in peaceful Pourville.

She stayed in a beachside boutique hotel called Vue Sur Mer where guests can expect a basket of warm pastries, jams, juice and strong coffee to start the day.

The former fishing village is backed by towering chalk cliffs and has a pebble-sand beach perfect for a picnic, or having a paddle.

Pourville’s scenery even made it into artwork thanks to Claude Monet who painted ‘Cliff Walk at Pourville’ in 1882.

When it comes to sightseeing, a must-see along the Normandy coastline is Mont-Saint-Michel.

For Disney fans, the tidal island is said to have inspired the backdrop for Tangled.

It has a huge abbey at the very top and is surrounded by museums, shops and restaurants.

The island is best explored by foot and when the tide comes in, it’s cut off from the mainland.

Further down the coast, Barfleur is often considered one of the prettiest villages in France.

It’s a traditional Norman fishing port with granite houses and little restaurants that sit around the harbour.

Any fans of seafood will love it as Barfleur is where you can try moules de Barfleur – these are wild mussels which are usually accompanied with crusty bread and a glass of wine.

Or, if you’re after glitz and glamour, then a trip to Deauville could be on the cards.

The seaside town is a classic Norman resort with a huge beach and it even pulls in celebrity visitors – the likes of Clint Eastwood and George Clooney have all been there.

On the beachfront is a huge casino with 300 slot machines as well as roulette and blackjack tables.

Inside is also a cinema, theatre and nightclub.

Its beach, Plage de Deauville, is around 1.2miles long and has around 450 multicoloured umbrellas on the sand.

While they might look like you’re classic beach parasol, you won’t find these anywhere else as they are actually made in Deauville workshops.

Other beaches along the Normandy coast that are considered some of the best include Ecalgrain Bay.

Another is Étretat Beach which has a striking resemblance to Dorset‘s Durdle Door with natural stone arches and deep blue sea on a bright day.

In the summertime, the Normandy coast is sunnier than the UK with an average of 23-24C – a pleasant temperature perfect for exploring.

The best part for British holidaymakers is that they can avoid stressful airport security and simply hop across via the ferry.

From the ports at Poole or Portsmouth, a trip to Cherbourg on the ferry takes between four to five and a half hours.

Routes from Portsmouth to Caen take on average six hours.

Another option is the LeShuttle from Folkestone to Calais, from there, drive south to the Normandy region which takes just under two hours.
