Tamara Ecclestone shows off her bronzed physique as she takes a dip with daughter Serena, six months, during extended stay in Dubai

The good times continued on Tuesday afternoon as Tamara Eccelstone and daughter Serena let their hair down in Dubai. 

The family have been enjoying an extended stay in the United Arab Emirates while Britain works its way through a third national lockdown, and recent updates suggest they are in no hurry to return any time soon. 

Taking to Instagram, Tamara, 36, appeared to be in high spirits while posing with her six-month old daughter as they ventured into a sprawling outdoor pool.

With temperatures predictably soaring across Dubai, the Formula One heiress showed off her bronzed skin-tone while modelling a tan coloured swimsuit. 

Tamara ensured her youngest child’s head remained protected from the glaring sun by dressing her in a bright pink cap ahead of their swim in the pool.   

The post comes after Tamara and husband Jay Rutland celebrated eldest daughter Sophia’s seventh birthday in style by visiting a cooking school and a dessert parlour in Dubai.

In a series of Instagram updates the birthday girl looked delighted as she licked chocolate off of a spatula at Mamalu Kitchen, before tucking into a tasty milkshake at Black Tap.

Sophia’s doting mother paid tribute to her mini-me as she wrote in an accompanying caption: ‘The most amazing few days celebrating our 7 year old.

‘Couldn’t be more proud of the little lady your becoming. Courageous, kind, loyal, clever and hilarious. Love you so much. Birthday eve was spent @mamalukitchen one of our favourites.’

Jay added: ‘Happy 7th birthday to my baby girl Fifi and a happy 6 months bday to my little Fifi mark II, Riri. The months and years are just flying by in a blink.

‘Words can’t describe how lucky I feel to have two such happy and healthy girls. May every father be blessed with daughters.’

Alongside images of Sophia looking animated with her baby sister, he added: ‘Family dinner to celebrate Fifi’s 7th birthday, at @blacktapdubai.

‘Probably should have been in the [photo] but I’m better the other side of the camera anyway. Riri’s face in the last photo. Lovely day, Godbless X’ (sic)

The family have barely been back to their UK home since last June, with businessman Jay admitting concerns over their protection was one reason they had not been back more.

The father-of-two revealed to MailOnline that they have no plans to return to London following the dramatic security lapse that led to a multi-million pound jewel heist at her West London home in December 2019.
