Katie Piper looks incredible in butter yellow bikini on 'recharging' holiday in France

Katie Piper looks sensational in her latest Instagram post, sporting an on-trend butter yellow bikini. The mum-of-two, 41, has flown to France to soak up the sun with her family and "amazing friends" while enjoying some rest and relaxation.

Sharing a carousel of selfies in which she stuns in the frilly two-piece, taking a mirror selfie, Katie wrote: "A few restorative days at @thefrenchmanor with amazing friends, delicious food, and endless laughs. Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful backdrop to recharge."

Also in the post is a video of Katiejumping delightedly into a swimming pool with her two daughters, Belle and Penelope, as well as a snap of her husband. Richard Sutton, rustling up a BBQ dinner. The presenter later shared photos of the gorgeous French villa as well as snap of her current reading material: 'The Unexpected Patient', which is described as 'Kiwi stories of life, death and unforgettable clinical cases'.

The French Manor boasts six ensuite bedrooms and is described as being "beautifully designed and recently renovated" and has two acres of gardens and an heated outdoor pool.

The stunning accommodation provides the perfect backdrop for Katie - who has heartbreakingly been in and out of hospital since her horrific acid attack in 2008 - and her husband to enjoy.

After almost a decade of marriage, the bubbly blonde and Richard may seem like a match made in heaven. However, the inspirational TV star and activist has admittedit's not always easy.

Making a confession about their long-term relationship, Katie told the Mirror "It's hard but worth it. I have to be honest because I don’t like to make other people feel bad.

"I think marriage is actually really hard and when you’re young, you’re told it’s all romance. But I do think it’s partnership and it’s compromising and not being big-headed.

"I think marriage is saying, 'I want to do life with you. Let’s put our lives together because that’s better and easier and more enjoyable.' I definitely don’t think it’s constant big gestures and romance. I haven’t found it easy to be in a long-term marriage, but I found it worth it, definitely."

Explaining how she has been focusing on making time for her family while juggling her busy career, Katie continued, conceding: "It’s hard. I try not to rush through life with the kids because time goes fast. I’m as guilty as any other parent, particularly at bedtime. You might be tired, rushing, and as soon as you put them to bed, you’ve got to go down and do your emails.

"And you can lose your temper at bedtime – you can snap or say things you regret. So I always try not to rush that part of the day. I put my phone on flight mode for those two hours so there aren’t any distractions."
