Alison was dressed for the sunnier climes in a simple black maxi dress which she layered with a floral green jacket with polka dot collar.

She shielded her rays from the rays with a pair of rounded oversized shades, and added a touch of glitz to her look with a pair of silver pumps. 

She strolled into the hotel alongside former EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney, who kept things relaxed in a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a hooded jacket.
