Last updated at 15:28pm on 12.02.08Pampered WAG Alex Curran takes time out of her heavy sunbathing schedule to cool off from the hot Dubai sun at a water park.
Alex has left her husband Steven Gerrard and children Lilly-Ella, three; and Lexie, 20 months, at home in Merseyside while she enjoys a girls' holiday in the Middle East with Jude Cisse, wife of ex-Liverpool star Djibril and Thierry Henry's former wife Claire.
The 25-year-old has been photographed in an assortment of skimpy bikinis over the past week as she relaxes in a £2,000-a-night luxury villa.

Wet and wild: Alex Curran screams in delight as she plunges into the water at the Wild Wadi waterpark in Dubai
After several days lounging in the sun, Alex and her friends decided to take a day trip to the local Wild Wadi water park, where they splashed around in inflatable tyres and slid down water slides.
After several days baking in the sun, Alex sensibly decided to cover up from the hot midday sun in a sailor-print t-shirt.
The holiday is the latest luxury bestowed on lucky Alex, who received a £100,000 Mercedes C class AMG from her footballer husband for Christmas.
Alex has been looking forward to a rest after a busy few months. In November, she launched her own fragrance 'Alex' and promoted the scent as stores across the country.

In December, Alex and a female friend were left traumatised after a hooded gang broke into her and Steven's £3million house in Formby, Merseyside.
The robbers escaped with jewellery worth thousands of pounds. It was the sixth raid in 18 months on the home of a Liverpool player.
Meanwhile, Alex has been shortlisted for this year's Celebrity Mum of the Year Award, alongside fellow WAG and Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.
