Richard Bacon enjoyed a jet ski ride with wife Rebecca McFarlane after a summer vacation to Ibiza.
The former Blue Peter star, 47, went shirtless as he and his spouse sped along the water during their Spanish break.
Richard made a relaxed figure as he and Rebecca headed to the beach to get on the jet ski.
His wife donned a stylish leopard print bathing suit as she enjoyed the trip with the presenter.
Richard previously admitted that if he was caught in a cocaine binge, young people would “sympathize” with him more now than they did in 1998.

Relaxed: The former Blue Peter star went shirtless as he and his wife sped along the water during their Spanish holiday
He was fired from his Blue Peter job in the 1990s after a drug scandal and told my producers he would “never work again.”
However, Richard, who has since made his way back to showbiz, confessed that he thinks the situation would have been different had it happened today.
Richard said, ‘A Blue Peter producer told me, ‘You’ll never work again,’ so it felt like ‘cancelled’.
“If I were 22 today and doing drugs at a party, I think I would get some empathy and sympathy from young people.”
Richard’s fall from grace is an early example of “cancellation culture” – where social media has become a platform for public sharming over old tweets.
He is perhaps best qualified to present the new Channel 4 which will look at how many people have lost their careers due to historic features.
Richard, who insists the Twitter generation would have sympathized with his scandal, looked back at his own tweets to find out if there was anything that would be considered “cancellable.”
In recent years, Richard has kickstarted his career comeback by hosting Good Morning Britain, following the departure of Piers Morgan in 2021.

Speaking during an appearance on the show, he said, “For me, I haven’t done this for a few years and I live in America now where I have a somewhat silly job, actually coming up with game shows and producing game shows, that’s a strange something to do in the world.
“But to really come back and do this, my first love is news and current affairs and to really come back and talk about things that matter.”
Richard has extensive experience presenting morning television, having presented The Big Breakfast on Channel 4 from 1999 to 2002.
His return to British TV came three years after he was placed in a medically induced coma for 11 days after being rushed to hospital with pneumonia.
He spent 11 nights in a medically induced coma while battling the potentially deadly disease pneumonia in 2018, which revealed his body turned blue at some point and doctors expected him to die.
The presenter said waking up from the coma was the worst day of his life because it lasted 14 hours and he continued to hallucinate.
At GMB’s 2019 presentation, Bacon revealed how doctors gave him four minutes to inform family members and get his affairs in order before putting him into a medically-induced coma.
