Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson made sure they packed swimming buoyancy aids and kids swimwear when they headed to Dubai recently.

The Welsh couple took two-year-old Ruby and one-year-old Dexter on the vacation, where the family enjoyed some fun in the sun by the pool.

Ruby, looking cool in a pink kids swimsuit, was kept safe with a buoyancy aid which was strapped around her tum.

She later wore a pair of swimming armbands as she enjoyed a dip in the pool.

With the emirate enjoying scorching temperatures over the past week, Church and Henson will have needed to pack plenty of sun protection for toddlers and buggy sunshades to keep their kids safe in the heat.

Reports have commented on Church's "slim bikini bod" and commended the singer and TV presenter for losing her baby weight.

Henson, who was also pictured grabbing some lunch, may also need to watch his weight if he wants to have any hope of regaining his place in the Welsh national rugby side.ADNFCR-3005-ID-19623056-ADNFCR
