Tanya and her Burnley footballer husband Phil Barnsley took the glamorous Dubai trip with their three sons, after her recent health troubles. The only person missing was Tanya's 19-year-old daughter Gabriella, who is busy studying at college.
Tanya shared photos on her Instagram Story of the family at their luxury resort and while the boys played in the pool, Mum and Dad enjoyed a cocktail in the sun.
Despite being married seven years, Tanya still only has eyes for Phil, sharing a photo of him in his bather with the words "Thank you God".
What was supposed to be a relaxing trip, turned out to be anything but, after son Ralphi dived into the pool only to hit his face on the steps.
Tanya uploaded a photo of his face that was left with a cut nose - bless him.
"Ralphi already dived onto the steps and bust his nose and then dozy Rocco lobs a ball at his head who says holidays aren't stress full," she joked.
