Jenny Powell, the 58-year-old former Wheel of Fortune presenter, has shared snaps from her Ibiza holiday with daughter Connie, showing off her toned bikini body while enjoying yoga, sunshine and a snooze on her sunlounger.
Powell, who launched her presenting career in the late 1980s and became famous on the ITV game show after taking over from Carol Smillie, has revealed she is slimmer now than in her twenties and has even been mistaken for her daughter's sister.
Fitness and holiday routine
The star explained she has dropped from a size 12 to a size 8, lifting the lid on how she manages to turn back the clock. "I'm smaller now," she said. "And I certainly wasn't as flexible. At 20 I was just flailing around - hopping on board the latest craze for six weeks. I lift, squat, use kettlebells, and go to yoga twice a week to stay flexible."
During her getaway, Powell maintained her beach body through yoga. Posting a clip of herself taking a plunge in the pool, she reflected on Instagram: "A few days of yoga, sunshine, good food, proper rest, lovely people and a little less noise. No big transformation. No pressure to be doing anything. Just time to move, breathe, sleep, laugh and come back to myself a little. Turns out doing less can sometimes give you so much more. When did you last give yourself permission to do absolutely nothing... without feeling guilty?"
Mother-daughter trip
Powell displayed her figure in blue and brown two-pieces in her footage, also sharing a story of herself dozing on a sunlounger with the caption: "Shh... Mum's asleep. Nothing to do with the margaritas by the way!"
The holiday with Connie didn't begin smoothly, with her daughter leaving her passport behind, followed by a four-hour flight delay and an aborted landing. "But somehow it all came together... and turned into the BEST mother and daughter night," she shared, alongside a video of them dancing in an island nightclub.
Powell continued: "Our first time properly clubbing together in Ibiza - and what a way to do it! Ushuaïa, David Guetta, dancing, laughing and one of those nights I'll never forget. Turns out the journey there was just part of the story! Mother and daughter Ibiza memories... priceless."
Fan reactions
Reacting to her posts, one fan exclaimed: "Still looks like the Jenny we all loved in the 80's." A second Instagram user remarked: "Beautiful and your legs are amazing!" A third person enthused: "Ahhh wow! I bet you were both as proud to be with each other. You both must have had the best time!"
Celebrity friend and former Pop Idol presenter Kate Thornton declared: "I just love this! You've had a proper Ibiza moment." Sharing additional yoga photos, Powell said: "One of my favourite things about being away is having the time and space to just move... no rush, no agenda, just seeing where my body wants to go. A little strength, a little stretch, a little wobble and a lot of breathing."
