Rhian Sugden embraced the spirit of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships with a new photoshoot, posing in a white bikini. The images, taken on the side of a tennis court, showcase the 39-year-old model's figure as the tournament, which runs until July 12, commenced.
Sugden shared one of the photos on social media, playfully remarking on her "ball skills" and suggesting she was "pulled to London for a last-minute tennis shoot." The post garnered positive reactions from fans, with comments such as "That's Game. Set Match!" and "You look stunning."
The photoshoot follows Sugden's decision to undergo a breast reduction surgery, reducing her cup size from 32HH to 32E. She stated the procedure was to alleviate "unbearable pain" in her lower back. Sugden, who welcomed her son George in 2024 with husband Oliver Mellor, has expressed that the surgery has boosted her confidence and made her feel "half her age" ahead of her 40th birthday in September.
In addition to the breast reduction, Sugden has also undergone dental work, including composite bonding to address prominent front teeth, and has maintained her appearance with Botox and chin filler. She has described the overall changes as an "overhaul."
Sugden and Mellor are reportedly considering undergoing IVF again in hopes of having another child, despite having previously gone through eight rounds before the birth of their son.
Earlier this year, Sugden shared before-and-after photos of her breast reduction and uplift surgery, noting the reduction in scarring. She acknowledged that while many fans were supportive, some expressed disappointment with her decision, which she attributed to their feeling of ownership over her image due to past magazine sales and OnlyFans subscriptions. Sugden's husband, Oliver Mellor, initially had reservations about the surgery but ultimately understood her need to alleviate physical pain.
Sugden first rose to prominence in 2006 as a Page 3 model and later appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2012.
