TV presenter Jenny Powell has shared a series of eye-catching photos on Instagram as she ‘recharges’ in Turkey after a difficult year. The 54 year old, who shot to fame as an assistant on Wheel of Fortune back in the early 90s, wowed fans as she posed in a chic black bikini while on holiday on the country’s sun soaked Silence beach. In a caption accompanying the photos, Jenny opened up about the tough year she had experienced, which tragically included the loss of her father and being diagnosed with debilitating menopause symptoms.

Stretching up towards the sky in one photo, Jenny encouraged her followers to “ embrace, look up, soak up, take that feeling with you.” Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter . She then followed up with a heartfelt glimpse into what she’s experienced in the past year. “'Lots gone on in this past year, Dad passed away, my menopause hit hard and that was just in my world,” wrote the star.

“Dad’s passing has made me look up a lot more ( mainly talking to him !!) Also I’ve learnt to avoid the ‘noise’ that hormones and grief can bring.” “This beach is called Silent Beach .. think we should all have a place at home to be silent .. it’s nourishing and recharges you and gives you time to reflect and manage your thoughts that sometimes lead you astray think my silent place will be in the wardrobe ( not many options tbh! ) Where’s yours?” Jenny’s father Leslie sadly passed away in July 2021 at the age of 93 - a loss which hit the presenter hard.
