Trinny Woodall and lookalike daughter Lyla Elichaoff slipped into bikinis as they soaked up the sun amid the UK's record breaking heatwave this week. 

The What Not To Wear star, 62, took to Instagram with a slew of snaps as she also hinted that she was back looking for love via dating apps.

Shielding her eyes behind shades, Trinny looked incredible in the tiny navy blue two piece which boasted a bandeau top and draw string bottoms.

Meanwhile Lyla, 22, who Trinny shares with Johnny Elichaoff, opted for an equally stylish black bikini as she showed her toned and tanned physique

Mother and daughter visited a pal's swanky home where they enjoyed a cooling dip in their lavish swimming pool. 

She penned: 'Went to see a friend and felt like we were in the countryside, but it was London… We just had the best time'.

The What Not To Wear star, 62, took to Instagram with a slew of snaps as she also hinted that she was back looking for love via dating apps.

Trinny also shared a glam snap of herself in a black tailored suit, writing: 'I MAY have recently joined a dating app… and I was thinking, what’s the first image of myself I want to show? I went with this one…'. 

In 2023 Trinny split from her partner of a decade art collector and Nigella Lawson's former husband, Charles, 82.

It was first reported in March the relationship had ended, with friends suggesting the 21-year age gap between them was to blame for them going their separate ways.

Two months after Trinny hinted the pair had gone their separate way, Charles was seen enjoying a cosy lunch date with the model Lady Martha Sitwell, 45.

Lady Sitwell later confirmed: 'Yes, we met for lunch. Charles is a very clever, very funny man.'

Charles was seen 'canoodling' with Lady Sitwell in his usual corner table at the Mayfair restaurant Scott's - where he had previously taken both Trinny and his ex-wife Nigella, 66.

They split in 2013 after pictures emerged of him grabbing Nigella’s neck while they were dining outside the exclusive venue.

Trinny revealed to podcaster Elizabeth Day: 'I have been in a relationship for ten years, and whatever people choose to believe or read, I know I have been in love with the person I was in a relationship with, and I had good years in that relationship.

'But I also know that I got to a stage where I knew I was not happy in it. And that's a very tough thing. Because a relationship becomes familiar.'

Trinny previously revealed after welcoming daughter Lyla that she tried again to have another child with a further five rounds of IVF, but that she never got pregnant.

Trinny and Johnny had married each other in 1999 after meeting in rehab, before divorcing in 2009 after which they remained on good terms.

Johnny, who battled an addiction to painkillers for 20 years, had 'lost everything' in a series of failed oil investments before his death.

Back in October 2023 Trinny told how she believes going through 16 rounds of IVF triggered her early menopause.

She told The Shift podcast she was offered antidepressants after seeing 'lots and lots' of medics after feeling like her 'mojo had gone'.

However, she claims she was later told by Dr Erika Schwartz, author of The Hormone Solution, that she had actually undergone an early menopause caused by IVF, with each round having supposedly shaven a year off her cycle.

But leading experts insist there is 'no evidence' fertility treatment can trigger early menopause.
