Isla Traquair, the telly presenter from This Morning, left viewers gobsmacked with her saucy admission that she’d be up for a wee in the sea to put Spain’s new laws to the test on the ITV show.
Chatting with hosts Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond about Spanish coppers fining those cheeky early sunbed snatchers, they also gabbed about the penalties for anyone caught taking a tinkle in the Costa Del Sol’s blue waters.
Adventurous Isla, fresh from her jaunt to Tenerife for a report, seems game to challenge Spain’s fresh rules head-on. Dermot dished out the deets: “Sunbed hoggers to receive a €250 fine from Spanish police… I don’t know how they’re going to do this. Spanish police say they’re going to give tourists a fine for reserving sunbeds on the Costa Blanca before 9:30.”
Isla cheekily chimed in: “Well. We did the story last week about you getting fined if you do a widdle in the sea, and I’d already volunteered for that job so I’ll take this one on at the same time!”

She then shared a sneaky plan to dodge the fines, saying: “You go out, commando crawl at 5am, pop your book, towel and a wet swimsuit – the wet swimsuit is the key.”
Gyles Brandreth jumped into the convo, noting: “The wet swimsuit implies you’ve already been out for your swim, you’ve already been there. Then people think oh they’re just drying!”
Isla added: “I think if you’re on the sunbed and you’re using it before 9:30 you won’t get fined. It is annoying when the towels are out and no-one’s using it.”
Isla’s decision to jet off to Tenerife in pursuit of Jay has her followers’ tongues wagging, with one teasingly commenting: “Isla loves a free hol doesn’t she lol?”
Another follower joined in with a hint of sarcasm: “So Isla went straight from telling us all that we’re not to be ‘armchair detectives’, to hop on a flight to Tenerife to jump on a bandwagon…”
One more added to the chorus of confusion, asking: “They’ve sent Isla to Tenerife? Why exactly?” while someone else expressed their bewilderment at her actions, saying: “Why… considering the day before she was complaining about amateur sleuths??”
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV and ITVX.
