The couple, who share a daughter Natasha Haleema, were in ease in each other’s company as Michael led out on the sunbed while Shakira got ready to swim. 

A natural beauty from the age of 19 when she came third in the 1967 Miss World contest, make-up free Shakira proved her good looks have stood the test of time.

The Carry On Again Doctor star made a beeline for the sea as she carried a pair of goggles in her hands and a shower cap.

Michael described the love he felt for his wife as ‘instantaneous’ when he recounted the moment on The Johnathan Ross show in December last year.

He said: ‘I saw this lady on the television in a commercial and fell in love instantly. It was for coffee in Brazil. 

‘I just watched her and thought, “that’s the woman for me”! I said to my mate, we’re going to find her.’

Having originally believed she was from Brazil, he vowed to make a trip to the country in the morning to start his hunt to find her.

But as it turns out, Michael didn’t need to make the trip because he found out she lived on the Fulham road in London. 

The actor used his black book of contacts to get her telephone number and he called her 10 days until she agreed to meet him; their love story went on from there. 

Michael was previously married once before to the late Patricia Haines, who died in 1977. The former flames were married from 1954 until they parted ways in 1962.
