Newly-single Rebecca Maguire is packing her bags for a fun-filled holiday in Marbella.

The brunette beauty (pictured), who split from her photographer boyfriend Evan Doherty in July, is off to sunny Spain with Miss Ireland organisers to unwind and let her hair down.

Ex-pageant queen Rebecca and Evan went their separate ways following an on/off romance over the past few years.

The 22-year-old told the Diary her trip to a luxury beach resort is exactly what the doctor ordered following an eventful summer.

"I've honestly been busier than ever since moving to Andrea Roche's agency and it's good to keep occupied, especially after a break up, which is difficult enough - never mind when people work in the same industry.

"So I'm looking forward to a party in Marbella before heading back to university," she said.

"Belfast fashion week is coming up so I've had little time for anything else."

When she's done tanning herself, Rebecca will return to the books for her final year studying Pharmacy.

She intends to juggle exams with photoshoots.
