Reality television personality Mollie Pearce has confidently showcased her stoma bag while wearing a vibrant patterned red bikini during a celebratory birthday excursion to Thailand this week. The 24-year-old, known for her appearance on The Traitors, is enjoying the tropical getaway with her pop star boyfriend, Connor Ball, the 29-year-old bassist from the band The Vamps.
Romantic Holiday Celebrations
The couple, who initially connected at a Dancing On Ice wrap party, have been publicly documenting their relationship since last summer. Their romance blossomed after meeting at the television event, where Connor had participated in the 2022 series and Mollie achieved sixth place in the 2025 competition.
A television insider revealed to The Daily Mail last year that the pair were in the early stages of dating and felt prepared to share their relationship on social media following their first holiday together. The source mentioned, 'Mollie and Connor are loving getting to know each other and were up for going public after holidaying together.'
Sun-Soaked Adventures
During their Thailand trip, Mollie was photographed posing on the beach in her swimwear, soaking up the sun while proudly displaying her stoma bag. The couple also appeared deeply affectionate as they embarked on a boat trip and engaged in snorkeling activities later in the day.
Mollie shared her experience on Instagram, captioning her post with, 'I highly recommend spending your birthday in Thailand.' This getaway marks another chapter in their relationship, following their previous break to Amsterdam.
Advocacy and Personal Journey
Mollie Pearce has been an outspoken advocate for the stoma bag community, having had the device fitted when she was 18 years old, seven years after receiving a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. Her participation in Dancing On Ice was motivated by a desire to raise awareness and embrace opportunities without being hindered by health challenges.
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Mail, Mollie, who was born without fingers on her right hand, expressed her determination to seize life's chances. She stated, 'I have my health and the chance to do these things now. I would never have been able to do anything like this four years ago. I want to take all the opportunities I possibly can.'
Television Background
Mollie starred in the final series of Dancing On Ice alongside professional partner Colin Grafton before the programme, hosted by Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern, was discontinued by ITV. Her television journey also includes a memorable stint on The Traitors, where she was famously deceived by rival Harry Clark, who convinced her he was a Faithful while secretly being a Traitor, ultimately winning the £95,000 prize.
The most recent series of The Traitors concluded on the BBC last Friday, with Traitor duo Rachel Duffy and Stephen Libby securing the substantial cash prize after remaining undetected throughout the competition.
