Hayden Panettiere Sizzling Hot Bikini Photos

Steve Jones looked positively tickled pink today - and few could blame him.As well as holidaying in the lap of luxury of aboard a yacht on the French Riveria, the T4 presenter just happens to be holed up with one of Hollywood's brightest young things, Hayden Panettiere.He spent much of the afternoon grinning from ear to ear after returning to the deck for a second day of sun-tanning with the Heroes star.

While soaking up the spectacular view - which included his latest love interests in a string-bikini, cowgirl hat and shades - it seemed almost as though the 32-year-old couldn't quite believe his luck.Hayden, 19, appeared to revel in the attention of her new man as she cavorted around in her pink animal print two-piece.At one point she stopped to lather on sunscreen with the help of a female friend as he looked on.The newly minted pair have barely left each other's side since meeting up at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this week.

As well as back-to-back days of sunshine, they have also found time to take in a glamorous party or two.Last night they rubbed shoulders with the likes of Orlando Bloom, Twilight star Robert Pattison, and Colin Firth at one of the many A-list parties thrown during the week-long festival.They seemed incredibly at ease in each other's company, despite having only just met last week. That's an age in the hyper world of celebrity, after all.
