Rhian Sugden prepares to get hitched — by covering herself from head to toe in MUD

GLAMOUR girl Rhian Sugden prepares for her sun-kissed wedding tomorrow (SUN) - by covering herself from head to toe in MUD.
The Page 3 legend looked muddy gorgeous as she partied on a private boat with her model pals in Turkey.
Rhian, 32, who is marrying Corrie hunk Oliver Mellor in Kalkan, was joined by ten sexy shipmates as they set sail at 11am on a gulet.
The glamorous gang were seen knocking back bottles of fizz and white wine while taking selfies alongside the bride-to-be.
They danced the afternoon away as temperatures reached a sizzling 30C and enjoyed a Turkish feast - including king prawns, lamb koftas, mezes and the sweet treat delicacy baklava.
The group dived off the deck into the clear blue waters to go snorkelling for turtles before soaking up the sun on the beach.
And after “shredding for the wedding” the blonde bombshell looked stunning in a white swimsuit.
Rhi showed off her enviable figure after months of working out with a personal trainer.
The bride-to-be later changed into a glamorous green number as they were caked in mud on the beach.
The Turkish tradition exfoliates the skin - promising to leave Rhi looking ravishing for her big day.
It dates back thousands of years and the sulphur-rich mud - made in natural springs - is famous for smelling like rotten egg.
The gang were in high spirits docking back in Kalkan just after 6pm - leaving plenty of time to head back to Rhian’s private villa for a themed BBQ.
A source said: “It was amazing - everyone had a ball.
“We had to hold our breath while the mud dried onto our skin. Everyone just fell about laughing - it smelt so bad.
“Rhi couldn’t stop beaming. She’s so excited for her big day and what a send-off it was.”
Former Page 3 model Emily O’Hara joined in the fun, as well as school friends, members of Oliver’s side of the family and Rhi’s two groomsmen.
Rhian weds actor Oliver, 37, tomorrow (SUN) at a luxury private villa overlooking the Mediterranean.
The former Corrie medic hit the jackpot in 2012 when he was introduced to Rhian through mutual friends.
He proposed in 2014 in front of a packed audience at a Manchester theatre - and the pair settled upon a Turkish wedding after visiting with friends.
They flew out together on Wednesday but parted ways until the big day.
A source added: “Oliver had his stag do weeks ago when he jetted off to Hamburg with the lads.
“So Rhian thought it was only right that she had a few days with the girls out in Turkey before saying ‘I do’.
“The girls did all the work arranging - but Rhian has loved having everyone around her in the run up to the big day.
“There’s no way you can get married abroad without having a boat party?!”
Not letting the girls have all the fun the actor took his friends for a slap up meal before trying out the local nightspots.
Nursing a few hangovers the wedding crew settled for a day by the pool hoping to recover before the big day.
