Laura Hamilton hit back at cruel trolls insisting she is ‘too old’ to wear a bikini in her latest Instagram snap on Wednesday.
The A Place In The Sun presenter, 43, wowed in a plunging black and white snake print swimming costume as she beamed beside the pool and asked fans: ‘Who decides when we’re “too old” for anything?✨…’
She continued: ‘I recently read a comment saying I was too old to wear a bikini… and it honestly made me stop and think for a second.
‘But then I reminded myself, life’s way too short to worry about what other people think.’
Waving in a swimming costume beside her daughter Tahlia she added: ‘Today I’m wearing a swimsuit, not because of the comment I read but because I wanted to and I feel comfortable in it!
‘We all have days when we feel self-conscious, but we deserve to enjoy the sunshine, the beach, the pool, whatever makes us happy, no matter our age and whether we choose to wear a swimsuit or a bikini!!’

It comes after Laura displayed her incredible figure in a blue halter neck bikini during her Sardinian holiday earlier this week.
Joined by her children Rocco, 11, and Tahlia, 10, who she shares with ex-husband Alex Goward, Laura soaked up the Italian sun at the Forte Village resort.
She looked sensational in a light blue halter neck bikini top with low-rise briefs featuring gold brooches as she did matching poses with her mini-me Tahlia in an array of snaps.
Documenting her trip on Instagram on Monday, Laura shared that her and the kids had enjoyed an electric bike ride around the resort before listening to a piano recital.
Later the trio took to the clear-blue sea to go snorkelling at the picturesque resort.
‘Sass, sparkle, and sun-kissed days at Forte Village ✨,’ she captioned the snaps.
‘Tahlia’s the kind of girl who turns palm-lined paths into catwalks and ice cream runs into comedy shows. She’s my tiny travel queen. Quirky, kind, bold, and bursting with magic.’
Earlier this year, Laura revealed that she went on a date with Shaggy – and he made her pay!

Laura, who split from husband Alex Goward, 44, in 2022 after a decade of marriage, shared details about her dating life in a new interview on Friday.
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, Laura confirmed that she was still single and having fun as she recalled a surprise date from over 20 years ago.
Recounting meeting up with Shaggy, she explained: ‘I met him for coffee and I had to pay for it. It was at Heathrow airport.
‘I’d been working with him, and he said, “I really want to meet up with you and talk about work opportunities.”’
Confirming that he made up a song and sang it to her, she continued: ‘God, that was over 20 years ago. I’m not sure he’d recognise me now.’
Adding of her dating life now, Laura said: ‘I’m busy working and dating and having fun, and I prefer to find people naturally rather than being on dating apps.
‘I like to go out and meet people who have common interests. I made a decision going forward that I want to keep that aspect of my life private.
‘I think it’s really important that if I’m dating people – and I have been dating people – if they’re not in the public eye, then they have a right to privacy.
‘Just because I’m in the public eye – you never know what their job is, and they might need privacy for security reasons, and so I’m always mindful of that.’
Laura and her ex-husband Alex, split after 13 years together.
In a statement at the time, she wrote: ‘This isn’t something I ever thought I’d be saying but, after 13 years of being together Alex and I have separated.
‘Our children are and always will be our number one priority and we would respect privacy for our family at this time.’
