IT’S New Year’s Leave – celebs’ annual escape to the sun.
As Big Ben rang in 2022 to drizzle here, the rich and famous celebrated on sun-kissed beaches.
Caribbean paradise St Barts resembled a superyacht parking lot, while the Maldives heaved with telly stars and former footballers as the Indian Ocean lapped at their ankles.
Among them were Myleene Klass and Alex Scott, both showing off their swimwear.
Also joining the exodus of famous faces from our shores was Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden.
She is enjoying a sunny break on the Caribbean island of Antigua.
Offering a glimpse of her family life, Amanda posted on Instagram snaps of her daughter Lexi as they relaxed in a swimming pool.
From those azure shores to exotic locales as far-flung as Mexico and Australia, Amy Jones reveals how the stars saw in the New Year.
