A Place in the Sun's Laura Hamilton stuns in white bikini as she cools off in heatwave

A Place in the Sun star Laura Hamilton embraced the heatwave as she sunned herself by a friend's pool.

The presenter, 40, posed in a white bikini and sunglasses as she lounged by a friend's pool on Sunday, in a snap shared on Instagram.

She showed off her long legs in the stunning picture, with her blonde hair loose and tucked behind her ears.

The mum-of-two wrote in the caption: "Feeling very grateful to be using a friend's pool this afternoon and also grateful for this gorgeous swimwear from @naia_beach by @tessdaly & @gayle_x_."

The post has wracked up more than 7,800 likes and fans rushed to praise the TV star, including Strictly Come Dancing presenter Tess, who posted two fire emojis.

One fan wrote: "Stunning and beautiful."

A second wrote: "Absolutely stunning."

Another penned: "Beautiful pic Laura, enjoy the sun."

A fourth simply wrote: "You look amazing."

Earlier this year Laura shocked fans when it was announced that she had split from her husband Alex Goward after a decade of marriage.

A source claimed at the time the marriage came under strain during the Covid lockdown after the pair had become accustomed to Laura being away for work.

In February, Laura broke her silence following the split to let her fans know she is okay.

The presenter, who has been a popular figure on the property show for more than 10 years, opened up about setting up house alone following what she called a decision "we both came to".

Speaking to Hello! magazine, Laura said: "It was a chapter of my life that I am now closing, and I have so many happy memories."

She continued to say that while the pair have opted to travel different paths, they will keep respect for each other as they intend to make their children's happiness and wellbeing their priority.

Despite overcoming difficult times, Laura added: "There have been times I have been so overwhelmed with sadness."

However, she claims her thirties were a brilliant time in her life. "I have had some of the best years of my life," she explained before being asked how she felt about turning 40.

She replied: "There is a quote about when it is scary to jump, that is when you should or you never move on in life."

The duo share two children together, son Rocco, eight, and daughter Tahlia, six.

At the start of this month, Laura penned a sweet tribute to her kids as the summer holidays began.

Sharing a picturesque photo of the trio sitting in her parents garden overlooking a field, their backs to the camera, Laura wrote: "And so the Summer holidays begin and I have a lot of fun things planned with Rocco and Tahlia.

"I am so unbelievably proud of my little people. They are adaptable, happy, driven, determined, adventurous, loving and kind.

"This evening we are enjoying one of our favourite views at my parents house & now it's even more special because it is where my Nan and Pop's ashes are scattered..."
