While frolicking in the sea, Claire was caught off guard when her bikini top almost came loose, leaving her gasping as she quickly adjusted her swimwear. She sported a light blue two-piece with a stylish leaf print, her blonde hair swept up in a tousled updo.

For a walk along the shore, Claire threw on a matching sheer robe and a pair of sunglasses. The getaway comes just weeks after Claire parted ways with her boyfriend, former boxer Ricky, 46, after an eight-month relationship. The Coronation Street star found love with the sports icon when they both competed on Dancing on Ice last year.

However, it was confirmed in December the pair had gone their separate ways after an eight-month whirlwind romance that saw them jet across the world together. Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Claire said she was doing "great" after the break-up and added: "We're still friends. We were friends, we dated then we're friends again. It's all good.".

Ricky and Claire had been pals for 25 years before things became romantic after they both appeared on Dancing on Ice at the start of the year. Since then, they shared a string of romantic trips including dates in Mallorca, nights out at the local pub, and enjoying events including Lytham music Festival in the summer.
