I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! star Tony Bellew’s wife Rachael made the most of the Australian sunshine as she headed to the beach on Saturday.
She slipped into a pink bikini as she enjoyed a dip in the ocean on the picturesque Gold Coast, hours after briefly reuniting with the boxer.
Playing in the water with their youngest son, Rachael wowed in the plunging pink two-piece as she enjoyed a spot of sunbathing.
Friday’s episode of the ITV show saw the celebrities given the chance to see their loved ones for a short time in the jungle, with Tony breaking down in tears as he saw Rachael for the first time in many weeks.
Tony was surprised by his wife’s arrival and she shared her excitement ahead of seeing him as she said it was the longest time they had been apart without any contact.

Upon their reunion, Rachael told Tony how their three children Corey, Cobey and Carter all miss him and are ‘dead proud’ of him.
Tony said of reuniting with his wife: ‘This will stick with me more than any moment I’ve had in the jungle.’
Rachael has also revealed the boxer joined the ITV show to honour his grandmother – who sadly passed away the day after he agreed to enter the jungle.
Tony’s beloved grandparent Rose, who was a ‘second mum’ to the star, died aged 97 with wife Rachael saying he will no doubt be ‘thinking about her every day’ in the jungle.
Speaking about the impact of the death on her husband, 41, who she calls Ant, Rachel told The Mirror: ‘Rose would be so, so proud of Ant. She passed away a few days before he went in so that was obviously very difficult for him’.
‘She was like a second mum to Ant – he absolutely idolised her. He called her the “boss of the family”‘.
Adding: ‘He is doing this for her and I know he will be thinking of her every day while he’s in there’.
Tony will fly back to the UK following his jungle stint in time for the funeral.

The lovebirds first met each other at the age of nine, according to The Sun.
Although, the two did grow up together in Merseyside, they didn’t meet again until they were 18-years-old.
Bellew pursued Rachael when he nightclub bouncer, and was rejected by his future wife a total of three times.
Eventually, they decided to go on a first date to a cinema, with Rachael warning the pro boxer that if he was not a perfect gentleman he would have ruined his only chance, The Sun reports.
Rachael loyally stayed by his side ever since their first date at the cinema, through his stint as an amateur fighter – when he would only take home £100 a fight – before he turned professional in 2007.
Tony has made it to the final four of this year’s I’m A Celebrity, meaning he, Josie Gibson, Nigel Farage and Sam Thompson will take on the Celebrity Cyclone trial in Saturday’s show.
I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! airs tonight at 9:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
