And in a new string of holiday snaps posted to her social media, the stunning Dance The Night singer could be seen laying across a red and silver float in the pool while cosying up to her actor beau.
Callum stood in the pool and rested his head on Dua’s arm, as she gazed at him.
The hitmaker could be seen in a silver bikini and flashed her derriere as she soaked up the sun in the huge pool overlooking the sea.
It’s rare for Dua to share photos of herself with Callum, so she left her 87million followers swooning over the snaps.
One person wrote: “The third slide,” followed by a heart emoji, and a second posted: “Screaming at the third slide.”
Dua’s photo dump also included a snap of her posing with her pals and indulging in a stunning alfresco dining experience set to the backdrop of palm trees.
The new pool and basement at her home in Hampstead, North West London, will also include a gym and recording studio.
Architects will fit detection devices designed to pick up any movement in the earth.

A MUM has faced backlash over the ”silly” names she’s picked for her kids.
Finding the perfect moniker for your little one can be quite the task and while some parents pass baby names down through the generations, others find inspiration elsewhere.
AlamyOne mum has faced backlash over the dinosaur-inspired monikers she’s picked for her kids[/caption]
AlamyThe couple decided to name the oldest kid with a dino theme after watching Jurassic Park[/caption]
This can often include turning to their favourite books, TV shows or movies – which is exactly what one woman did.
Sharing the naming journey, her baffled friend took to Reddit: “I know this lady and her and her kids are the sweetest, but she didn’t know what to name the oldest and she and her husband were watching Jurassic Park so they decided to name him with a dino theme.”
With this, the pair decided to name their firstborn son Trexton – inspired by T-Rex.
She went on in the post: “Her daughter has a relatively normal name but then she named her youngest boy Roarex to continue the theme.”
While the majority of fellow Reddit users shared their shock over the bizarre names, others brainstormed dino-inspired picks they reckoned would have been more appropriate.
One user said: “Rory’s a name. Why wasn’t Rory good enough?”
Another user thought: “Even just Juras would’ve been better.”
A third wondered: “Why can’t they use their silly names for the middle name? Ugh.”
One more user chimed in: “Roarex sounds like either a Pokémon or a creature from a Pokémon-like work.”
A final user said: “Could’ve just named him Rex…”
This comes after a woman was been urged to contact Childline after sharing the vampire-inspired name she heard on the school playground.
The parent explained how she had gone to pick up her son from daycare when she heard another mother shouting their child’s name.
Gobsmacked, the woman listened again to make sure she had heard it right before taking to the popular forum to condemn the kid’s parents for picking an “awful” moniker for the daughter.
Are Unique Baby Names Worth The Hassle?
YOU may think having a unique name helps you to stand out, but is it all it's cracked up to be?
Fabulous’ Deputy Editor Josie Griffiths reveals the turmoil she faced with her own name while growing up.
When I was a child, all I wanted was one of those personalised keyrings with my name on it.
But no joy, the closest I could find was Rosie, Joseph (not great for a little girl) and Joanne.
Josie is short for Josephine, which is a French name, and I managed to reach my 20s without ever meeting anyone who shared it.
When I try to introduce myself to people, I get all sorts of random things – like Tracey and Stacey – which can be pretty annoying.
Although I have come into contact with a couple of Josies over the last year – there seems to be a few of us around my age – it’s still a much rarer name than most of my friends have.
On the whole I don’t mind it, at least it’s not rude or crazily spelt.
And it means I can get away with ‘doing a Cheryl’ and just referring to myself as Josie.
I’m getting married this year and some friends are shocked that I’m changing my surname, as it’s not seen as very cool or feminist to do so these days, but I explain to them that I’m not that attached to Griffiths as I’d always just say ‘hi it’s Josie’ when ringing a mate up.
I think it’s nice to be unique and I’ll definitely try and replicate this when naming my own kids.
It’s the rude names you’ve got to watch out for, so after nine years as a lifestyle journalist I’ll definitely be avoiding those.
She said: “I thought surely my ears were deceiving me until she said it again.
”The name was Renesmee. Yes, like the alien baby from Twilight Renesmee.
“I’m still horrified writing this to be honest.
”Out of all the names from Twilight, she chose the worst one!
It’s just so bad. Rosalie, Bella, Alice, Victoria, etc none of those were good enough? I’m sick right now.”

NETFLIX have announced that Saltburn star Barry Keoghan has joined the cast of the Peaky Blinders Film.
The streaming service confirmed in June 2024 that the feature film had been greenlit and would go into production later this year.
BBC Press HandoutThe feature film will go into production later this year[/caption]
AlamyBarry will be joining Cillian Murphy and Rebecca Ferguson as the cast for the highly anticipated follow-up film[/caption]
NetflixThe plot and further casting remain tightly under wraps[/caption]
Barry, 31, is the latest actor to be confirmed as the cast in the star-studded film.
The epic continuation of the multi-award-winning gangster saga, set in the lawless streets of Birmingham in the 1900s, has been written by the show’s creator, Steven Knight, who will co-produce alongside Caryn Mandabach, Cillian Murphy and Guy Heeley.
The film will be made in association with BBC Film.
Tom Harper, who directed episodes in the first season in 2013, returns to helm the film.
Academy Award winner Cillian Murphy returns as Tommy Shelby, the role he played over six seasons between 2013 to 2022.
Rebecca Ferguson is also in the cast for the highly anticipated follow-up film as a new character.
The plot and further casting remain tightly under wraps.
This comes after Barry was dumped by his American music star girlfriend, Sabrina Carpenter, after she grew tired of his party lifestyle.
The 25-year-old singer begged her man not to break her heart on hit Please Please Please.
But while her track soared to the top of the charts, Barry is no longer No1 for Sabrina.
A source told The Sun that the American singer dumped the Irish actor because his party lifestyle was getting in the way of their relationship.
A source said: “Barry acts like an idiot when he is drunk and Sabrina was getting increasingly frustrated.
“He has always been a party animal and Sabrina was fed up with his antics. She is soaring in the charts and is putting herself first as she gears up for her tour next month.”
Sabrina released the single Please Please Please in June, which sees her sing about a boyfriend damaging her reputation.
Who starred in BBC crime drama Peaky Blinders?
Popular BBC crime drama Peaky Blinders aired from 2013 to 2022. The show followed a fictional crime gang operating in Birmingham in the aftermath of the First World War. With a movie adaptation on the way, here is a reminder of some of the biggest stars who appeared in Peaky Blinders.
Cillian Murphy: The Irish-born actor played gang leader Tommy Shelby for the show’s entire run. Cillian is also known for his film collaborations with Christopher Nolan, including winning the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in Oppenheimer. His other collaborations with Nolan include portraying DC Comics villain Scarecrow in Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy and a supporting role in Inception.
Helen McCrory: Helen starred as Polly Gray for the first five series of Peaky Blinders. Her film roles include franchise appearances in Harry Potter and James Bond, as well as playing Cherie Blair in three films. Helen sadly passed away in April 2021, aged 52, of breast cancer. She had been married to actor Damian Lewis from 2007 until her death.
Sam Neill: New Zealand actor Sam starred in the first two series as Chester Campbell, an Ulster Protestant policeman drafted into Belfast. On the big screen, Sam is known for his role as Dr Alan Grant in Jurassic Park, as well as two of the film’s sequels. His varied television credits include The Tudors, The Simpsons, Alcatraz and Rick and Morty.
Tom Hardy: Tom appeared as Alfie Solomons, a Jewish gang leader in Camden Town in series two through six. He has appeared in films including Warrior, The Dark Knight Rises, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Legend and Venom. Tom also worked with Peaky Blinders writer Steven Knight on the eight-part drama Taboo, in which he played the lead role of James Keziah Delaney.
Joe Cole: Joe starred in the first four series of Peaky Blinders, playing the role of John Shelby. He starred alongside his real-life brother, Finn, who plays Michael Gray. Since leaving Peaky Blinders, Joe has gone on to play Sean Wallace in Sky Atlantic series Gangs of London.
Benjamin Zephaniah: Late poet and writer Benjamin passed away in December 2023. He starred starred as Jeremiah ‘Jimmy’ Jesus throughout the run of Peaky Blinders.
Adrien Brody: Adrien is the youngest actor to win the Academy Award for Best Actor, being 29 at the time. He appeared in series four of Peaky Blinders as Luca Changretta, a New York mafioso.
Paddy Considine: House of the Dragon star Paddy appeared in series three as Father John Hughes, a priest working with the anti-communist Section D in the British Government.
Stephen Graham: Lancashire-born actor Stephen appeared as Hayden Stagg, union convenor for the workers at the Liverpool docks.
Barry stars alongside Sabrina in the music video, which depicts him as a convict behind bars.
In the song, Sabrina sings: “Please, please, please don’t bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice. Heartbreak is one thing, my ego’s another. I beg you, don’t embarrass me, motherf***er. Please, please, please.”
Appearing to make reference to Barry’s party lifestyle, she adds: “Whatever devil’s inside you don’t let him out tonight.
“I tell them it’s just your culture and everyone rolls their eyes. Yeah I know.”
The lyrics: “Five feet to be exact. You’re wonderin’ why half his clothes went missin’. My body’s where they’re at,” is about Shawn and him getting back together with his ex Camila Cabello.
The lyrics in Sabrina’s song Taste continue to say: “I heard you’re back together and if that’s true, you’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissin’ you.
“If you want forever, I bet you do. Just know you’ll taste me too.”
Fans were shocked to learn that most of her songs on her album Short N’ Sweet are about her brief and causal relationship with Shawn rather than her long-term boyfriend Barry.

CHELSEA have received a huge transfer boost as Juventus have pulled out of a potential deal to sign Jadon Sancho, a report claims.
The Blues are now in a race to sign the Manchester United outcast before the transfer deadline at 11pm on Friday night.
Juventus have pulled out of the running to sign Jadon SanchoSancho could be heading to Stamford Bridge on Deadline Day
The report added Chelsea are still in talks for Sancho heading into the final day of the transfer window.
The former Borussia Dortmund star has been on the radar at Stamford Bridge as reports of a possible swap deal have been rife.
Sancho has had a tricky time at Man United as he has struggled for form, been exiled and loaned out before being brought back into the team by Erik ten Hag.
The winger has not featured in the Premier League this season and could benefit from a fresh start in West London.
And United may take a £38m hit on the winger, who they signed for £73m from Dortmund in 2021.
Sterling is currently training away from the first team after Blues boss Enzo Maresca confirmed there is no place for the former England star in his squad.
Maresca said: “The ones who are not involved don’t get minutes if they stay.
“It’s not just Raheem. It’s all the players who are training apart.”

EMMERDALE fans think they have uncovered the soap’s next super villain after calling out a slew of his recent sneaky actions.
Viewers of the ITV soap opera have been left more convinced than ever that Caleb Milligan is on a one-way mission to cause as much destruction and commotion in the village as possible.
ITVDales viewers have called out Caleb’s sneaky moves[/caption]
ITVHe has been scheming his way around the Dales[/caption]
Over the past few days, his evil genius persona has shone through after managing to convince Jai to fork out an extra £10,000 after promising he will be a millionaire by next year as part of a seemingly twisted business deal.
Elsewhere, he has also becoming oddly hellbent in securing part ownership of the haulage firm and has deployed a number of tactics in order to persuade Jimmy King to sell up to him at a bargain price.
He had a helping hand in placing red diesel in one of the haulage trucks which led to a damning visit from HMRC – a move fans were quick to brand as “sneaky”.
The decision forced an already stressed Jimmy to consider selling up in a bid to avoid paying more fines and in order to free up some much-needed cash.
But Caleb’s behaviour has not gone unnoticed by Emmerdale fans with him now being rumbled for his devious ways.
Commenting on his actions this week, one fan pointed out: “Caleb is always looking for get rich scheme.”
Another added: “See Caleb, ruining people’s lives for some Del Boy tier ambitions.”
A third went on to write: “Caleb is a really nasty b******. Doing over his neighbours.”
In upcoming Emmerdale scenes, Moira overreacts when she sees Cain bantering with Ruby.
A squeeze of the arm by Ruby leaves Moira’s anger bubbling up.
Barging into Mill Cottage, Moira accuses Ruby of trying to sleep with Cain, confusing Ruby.
As Cain and Caleb arrive, Moira headbutts Ruby and has to be restrained by Cain.
He takes aggressive Moira away, and Caleb hopes his promise to sort it will appease furious Ruby.
Darkest soap storylines
Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…
EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) – Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca’s adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.
Emmerdale: Holly’s drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) – In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale’s first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.
Hollyoaks: Luke’s rape (2000) – Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap’s first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs – who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.
Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) – Just a mere mention of ‘Richard Hillman’ is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it’s not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn’t.
Fans have described it as “disgusting” and caused them to have a “panic attack”.
iPhone tricks to try today

EMPLOYEES will be able to demand a four-day week under new Labour plans.
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, with the backing of PM Sir Keir Starmer, insists the new way of living would be “good for the economy”.
GettyIn a new law being pushed by Labour, workers can demand to work a four-day week[/caption]
While a shorter working week sounds great, to receive full pay you are still expected to work your contracted hours.
However, “compressed hours”, which lets an employee work their contracted weekly hours in four days instead of five, will also be part of a new rights for workers package, reports The Telegraph.
Further details are expected in mid-October as the proposal is pushed through Parliament.
Starmer said it will be the “biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation”.
In the legislation, Labour has also pledged to revoke some anti-trade union laws.
The use of zero-hours contracts will also be restricted and flexible working arrangements are set to be expanded.
The trial saw 61 companies across a variety of sectors in the UK commit to reducing their working hours for all staff by 20 per cent, for six months from June 2022.

MOHAMED SALAH’S 2017 move from Roma to Liverpool has been voted the best value Premier League transfer of all time.
A poll of 2,000 football fans found the Egyptian star’s switch topped the poll, despite setting his club back £34m – as he has now bagged more than 200 goals for them.
GettyMohamed Salah’s move to Liverpool has been voted the best value deal in Premier League history[/caption]
GettyThe Salah deal pipped Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon[/caption]
And he also helped deliver a long-awaited Premier League title to the Merseyside club, as well as the Champions League trophy.
His move beat Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer from Lisbon to Manchester United, and Eric Cantona joining the Red Devils from Leeds.
The research was commissioned by iD Mobile, ahead of Transfer Deadline Day, which is celebrating customers on giant screens who make the switch to the mobile network.
The faces of new customers – who share their last name with famous footballers Kane, Grealish, Watkins and Kelly – were unveiled on giant screens outside Tottenham Court Road station.
Lewis Henry, of iD Mobile, said: “Getting the best value is important for all of us.
“Whether it be a player looking for a bumper new contract with a new club, or someone looking for a new phone contract.
“These findings show that an unexpected option can be worth it if you get good value for money, and they can be outstanding in the long run.
“Value in a crowded market can be tricky – just ask any Premier League club – but we know a good value deal is not just about the best or lowest price and it’s more about what you get back for your money instead.”
On the poor-value side of things, Paul Pogba’s big-money switch to United from Juventus for £89m in 2016 was deemed the worst ever made.
This is made even more impactful by the fact the club had let him go as a youngster for almost nothing.
GettyManchester City’s £55million signing of Kevin De Bruyne in 2015 was also voted highly[/caption]
ReutersLeicester paid just £1million for Jamie Vardy 12 years ago[/caption]
Andy Carroll’s £35m move to Liverpool on the final day of the transfer window in 2011 was voted second-worst value for money, followed by Romelu Lukaku’s switch from United to Chelsea.
Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal were deemed the best at identifying good value transfers, according to the OnePoll.com figures.
Nearly nine in 10 (87 per cent) believe Premier League sides massively overpay for players, and 56 per cent think there’s no such thing as good value in football transfers in the modern game.
While 95 per cent believe top-flight clubs should focus more on developing talent, rather than simply buying it in.
It also emerged 32 per cent of football fans use their handset to watch highlights, and 23 per cent scroll social media to gather views on recent games.
And 55 per cent admit they’re using their mobile phone ‘more than ever’ to keep on top of all the football.
But 35 per cent would rather their side’s bitterest rivals won the league – than they lose their phone.
Lewis Henry, of iD Mobile, which claims it save customers an average saving of £230 a year, said: “Keeping up with football isn’t just about waiting for the TV highlights on Saturday nights anymore.
“It’s possible to stream live games via your phone anywhere in the world and fans in the pre-2000’s era couldn’t have dreamed of this kind of access to the game.”
