The Great British Getty Image X account shared the throwback shots on Friday.

Stacey, now 34, and Tyson, now 35, were shown lounging and having fun around the resort’s pool.

One hilarious photo showed Tyson lifting mum-of-five Stacey into the air while another showed Stacey pushing the boxing champion into the pool.

A fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “The crossover we never knew we needed.”

The two have come a long way in the years since, with former X Factor contestant Stacey going on to marry actor and presenter Joe Swash.

They first met while Stacey participated in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here in 2010 while Joe co-hosted the spin-off series.

Both are former winners of the ITV hit, with Joe having triumphed in 2008 and Stacey going on to win her year.

They would later start dating in 2016, going on to have three children to join their respective off-spring from previous relationships.

Stacey has been a regular on Loose Women since 2016, but began an extended break from the programme in 2022.

In March, Stacey’s co-star Linda Robson revealed it was unlikely Stacey would be returning to Loose Women any time soon.

She shared exclusively with The Sun: “I would love her to come back, she’s a really good Loose Woman – she’s really honest. But I think she’s got too much on.

 “She’s got her own series and her and Joe are out in their little house. She’s still really welcome but she’s just so busy.”

Meanwhile Tyson has gone to achieve success in the world of boxing, including winning the British, European and Commonwealth titles.

He became only the third heavyweight, after legends Floyd Patterson and Muhammad Ali, to hold The Ring magazine title twice.

Tyson has also explored professional wrestling with WWE, defeating former world champion Braun Strowman in a match.
