A Place In The Sun’s Laura Hamilton defies trolls who say she’s ‘too old’ to wear a bikini as she shares sizzling snaps

Bikini-Shamed at 44— But Laura Hamilton Fires Defiant Response as Fans Rally Behind Her

Laura Hamilton has sparked a wave of support after slamming a cruel troll who claimed she was “too old” to wear a bikini.

The A Place In The Sun favourite, 43, refused to let the comment slide — instead sharing a sizzling poolside snap that made one thing crystal clear: she’s not covering up for anyone.

And her response? Direct. Calm. Cutting.

“I recently read a comment saying I was too old to wear a bikini… and it honestly made me stop and think for a second,” she admitted.

“But then I reminded myself — life’s way too short to worry about what other people think.”

💥 “WHO DECIDES?”

Laura then threw the question straight back at her critics:

“Who decides when we’re ‘too old’ for anything?”

In the accompanying clip, she lounges confidently in the sunshine, smiling as the camera pans across the idyllic setting. No apology. No insecurity. Just quiet confidence.

“Today I’m wearing a swimsuit — not because of the comment — but because I wanted to and I feel comfortable in it!” she said.

And she didn’t stop there.

“We deserve to enjoy the sunshine, the beach, the pool — whatever makes us happy — no matter our age.”

⚡ FANS FLOOD THE COMMENTS

Within hours, supporters flooded her page, fiercely defending the TV star and blasting the age-shamers.

“People really are sad!!! You look incredible,” one fan wrote.

Another declared:
“Bikinis don’t come with age restrictions — only confidence requirements!”

A third commented:
“43 is not old. You’re an inspiration to women who are told to shrink themselves.”

“Jealousy is loud,” another added. “Confidence is louder.”

One supporter summed up the mood perfectly:
“Imagine thinking 43 is ‘too old’ for anything. Keep shining.”

🏋️‍♀️ STRONGER THAN EVER

Laura has long been open about prioritising strength over numbers on a calendar. She recently revealed she’s embraced weight training and early-morning workouts.

“I sometimes get up at 5am — we joke we’re in the 5am club,” she said.

For her fans, that dedication shows — and they’re not having anyone try to dim her light.

If anything, the backlash has only amplified her message.

Because at 43, Laura Hamilton isn’t “too old.”

She’s just getting started.

Taking to Instagram earlier in the week, Laura revealed how she had been told not to wear a bikini because of her age.

Defying the cruel trolls, the television siren has now shown off her figure once again in a tiny bikini while clapping back at the critics.

In the snap she shared, which was the cover snap for the video she uploaded, Laura was seen sitting poolside while donning a blue and white bathing suit.

Meanwhile, in the video, she could be seen lounging on a day bed with her daughter as they waved while the camera panned out.

She defiantly said: “Today I’m wearing a swimsuit, not because of the comment I read but because I wanted to and I feel comfortable in it!”

Opening up about confidence, the stunning TV star went on: “We all have days when we feel self-conscious, but we deserve to enjoy the sunshine, the beach, the pool, whatever makes us happy, no matter our age and whether we choose to wear a swimsuit or a bikini!!

“Live your life and feel good in your own skin,” she concluded.

Fans were quick to comment on her post, with many stunned that she had been told she was “too old” to strip off to a bikini.

“Wow people really are sad!!!

“You keep going and you look amazing. While you’ve got it flaunt it,” said one.

“Absolutely not! Bikinis don’t come with age restrictions—just confidence requirements! The only age limit is the age you stop caring what other people think,” penned another.

A third then said: “Ignore. You look amazing.”

While a fourth penned: “People that say negative comments are just jealous! Do whatever makes you feel happy.”

And a fifth said: “Wow, glad you didn’t listen, some people should keep their comments to themselves.

“We are all different and we should do and wear what makes us happy.”

Last month, Laura spoke to The Sun at the TRIC Awards.

Speaking about her amazing figure, she said: “I was in the gym yesterday and I do lots of weights. I know loads of women in their mid-forties who are always talking about weights massively.

“I was always into cardio, but since I ran the London Marathon, I’ve got more into weights.”

Laura, who shares son Rocco, 11, and daughter Tahlia, 10, with her ex-husband Alex Goward, often squeezes in workouts before the school run.

She said: “I sometimes get up at 5am to do so. My friends and I joke that we’re in the 5am club. I don’t do it every day, but most mornings.”
