She then took to her Stories to share a picture of their daughters, Sophia, also known as Fifi, six, and little Serena.

Fifi cheekily made her mother scream as she squirted her with a giant water pistol while standing in a swimming pool. 

But her other little girl was feeling much more relaxed and Tamara shared a snap of her sleeping by her side.

The family initially kept their location a mystery but they soon revealed they were in Dubai after they jetted off on their sun-drenched festive getaway before lockdown.     

Tamara and Jay married in July 2013 and seem blissfully happy with one another. 

Her posts come as Transport Secretary Grant Shapps revealed that the diktat forcing travellers to present a negative covid test before travelling to the UK will be imposed ‘next Wednesday or Thursday’.

Shapps said nobody will be able to depart for Britain by plane, train or ferry unless they present a ‘recognised’ test result at check-in along with a valid passport and visa if required.

Ministers agreed the strict measures on Thursday night amid growing pressure to tighten borders – but have not confirmed a start date, although it is expected to be next week. 

They will apply to Britons and foreign nationals in a bid to keep out infections and mutant strains such as the one in South Africa.

Travellers will still have to quarantine for ten days – even if they test negative – if arriving from a ‘red list’ country with high rates of Covid-19. But they will be able to leave isolation if a second test, which can be taken from the fifth day, is negative.

Mr Shapps said that airlines or other travel firms such as Eurostar or P&O would be forced by law to check – and turn back anyone without one. 

Anyone who slips through will face a £500 on-the-spot fine. It is not clear whether they will then forced into quarantine or prosecuted. He said the new rules will be imposed in five or six days time to avoid a scramble to get back from abroad. 

Amanda Holden slammed the policy after cancelling her family’s holiday on Boxing Day because of Tier 4 regulations. 

Sharing a beach bikini picture on Instagram the star slammed a ‘senseless year of neglect of Government rules at our borders’ and the ‘lack of common sense’ by ministers.

She said: ‘Other countries have done it before us. Why has it taken us so long? No one seems to have an answer… or be questioning it?!! Surely this could have prevented the increase of the spread?!!!’ Fellow star Jessica Wright replied saying: ‘Cancelled mine too for Boxing Day & couldn’t agree more, in disbelief over it all’ while actress Tracy Ann Oberman also backed her rant with some clapping emojis.
