Secretly married and living the high life
Steph Waring recently gave fans a peek into her lavish vacation after tying the knot in a secret ceremony in the Maldives. The actress and her new husband, Tom Thornton-Brookes, exchanged vows on the stunning beach of the five-star Ifuru Island resort at the end of July.
From beachside weddings to luxury villas
Sharing glimpses of her trip, Steph revealed that they enjoyed a free upgrade to a two-bedroom villa worth thousands of pounds. The exclusive island retreat offers a 1.2km beach, dive and excursions center, skydiving zone, and two signature restaurants - providing the perfect backdrop for the newlyweds to relax and unwind.
Bikini shots and fan reactions
Steph delighted her followers with photos of herself lounging on the beach in a bikini, waves crashing around her. Fans couldn't help but shower her with compliments, with one writing, "Wow, you look stunning on that beach. 😍🔥"
Another fan chimed in, "Beautiful. Tom T Brooks is one lucky man xx," while a third added, "Love this very... sexy but very artistic 😍"
Goodbye to Hollyoaks
Steph's luxurious holiday came after her departure from Hollyoaks, where she portrayed Cindy Cunningham for 28 years. The 46-year-old was one of 20 cast members let go as the show transitions to a digital platform, leaving Steph shocked as she expressed her disappointment over the lack of loyalty from the production team.
Despite the unexpected exit, Steph's beachside bliss and newlywed glow seem to have captivated her fans, who continue to support her journey beyond the soap opera.
