ELLE MACPHERSON WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN IBIZA

Australian model-turned-actress Elle Macpherson is a regular visitor to Europe – especially in the summer, when she basks in the warm temperatures of the Mediterranean. And this year is no exception, as the six-foot-plus stunner was in Ibiza with her partner Arpad Busson, their son Flynn, and a whole host of their friends.

“Arkie”, as her boyfriend is nicknamed, showed himself to be the perfect gentleman. The couple had gone to top club Pacha with Elle’s old flame Tim Jeffries, and Lord Hanson’s son Robert, when Arkie saw a man slap a woman. Wasting no time, the French financier bellowed: “Get your hands off that woman right now,” before the man beat a hasty retreat.

But that seemed to be the only flashpoint in an otherwise trouble-free holiday, in which Elle seemed to kick back and relax completely. Wearing her trademark beach outfit – a white shirt that showed off her tanned legs to perfection, topped off with a battered Stetson, Elle looked to be thoroughly enjoying herself. After all, with a posse of chums around you, what else can you do?
