Nadia Sawalha took to Instagram to show her support for the England team ahead of their game against Italy in the Euro 2020 final on Sunday.
The Loose Women star, 56, flaunted her physique in a homemade St George’s flag print string bikini.
Nadia put on a busty display in the plunging bikini as she smiled for the camera on the floor of her bedroom.
She toted a homemade St George’s shield and a broom in the skimpy swimwear and let her curly hair fly free as it blew in the breeze.
Luke Shaw scored early for England in the first two minutes of the tense game but Italy equalised with a goalmouth scramble in the 67th minute.
After a tense period of extra time, England lost out in a penalty shoot out as Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka missed crucial goal attempts that led Italy to victory.
Nadia’s patriotic post comes after Nadia took to Instagram on Saturday to reveal ‘excruciating’ neck burns after being scalded by boiling hot honey in her father’s seaside caravan.
Posting a photo of her injured neck, the Loose Women star called herself a ‘plonker,’ adding that photos of her neck blisters were ‘too gruesome’ to share with her followers.
Asking fans for any anti-scarring remedy recommendations, Nadia revealed that the incident had taken place on Tuesday and that she was left ‘screaming’.
Nadia later shared a video on YouTube alongside her husband Mark Adderley in which she explained the accident had taken place in the kitchen after hot honey ‘sprayed all over her neck’.
Telling viewers that she and producer Mark had suffered ‘a terrible week,’ she explained: ‘I opened the microwave and the plastic bottle was two seconds from exploding like shrapnel.
‘I panic and go to get the honey. It leaps out the pot and sprays all over the ceiling and splashes up my neck.’
She added: ‘I was screaming and pulling my clothes off. I run over [to] the sink and stick my head in. The pain was excruciating. I was in this agonising pain.’
Earlier that week, Nadia revealed that she was taking a temporary break from social media after her family’s beloved pet dog Chi Chi had been taken to a veterinary hospital.
She wrote: ‘Our Chi chi is really poorly so I won’t be on here for a while as we all feel a bit upside down.’
A day later, Nadia thanked fans for their support and provided another update on Chi Chi, writing in part: ‘This last week has been incredibly tough for my family and I.
‘Chi chi has quite frankly been through hell over the last week. She has been in hospital since Monday night.
‘She has had every test and scan imaginable . They have thankfully been able to manage her pain throughout and she has been heavily sedated.
‘At one point they thought the internal bleeding she’d had would leave her totally blind.
‘We were convinced we were about to lose her and this morning was utterly heartbreaking as we waited for the call from the vet .
‘BUT when he DID call the news was so much better than we had dreaded !!
‘He told us they had settled on a diagnosis of an autoimmune disease which can hopefully be treated with drugs for the rest of her life.’ [sic]
She added: ‘She’s not out of the woods yet and she will be in hospital for a while longer. Words cannot describe how relieved we are.’
Nadia and Mark have been married since 2002 and have recently celebrated their 19 year wedding anniversary.
They share two daughters, Maddie, 18, and Kiki, 14.
