Ben Cohen lets it all hang out in Miami as he escapes his recent relationship dramas
THE recent troubles surrounding his private life appear to have taken their toll on Ben Cohen, who stepped out looking a little more portly than usual this week.
Ben Cohen appeared to have put on a few pounds in Miami this week
The rugby hunk, whose wife Abby recently announced they were to divorce, showed off a fuller figure in Miami, as he partied with showbiz pals at the beach.
The 36-year-old appeared to have gained a few pounds as he took a dip in the sea, before jokingly tweeting to say he had eaten "way to many burgers".
Joined in the US by designers Julien Macdonald and Melissa Odabash, Ben looked to be relaxed and carefree as he forgot about his relationship woes.
Sporting a patterned pair of swimming shorts, the former Strictly Come Dancing star was spotted lounging in the idyllic spot after working out with his friends.

Ben's appearance could be down to too many romantic meals with his rumoured girlfriend and former Strictly partner, Kristina Rihanoff.
He has denied having an affair with the blonde star, prior to his split from his estranged spouse, 37, in September last year.
The former England rugby union player quipped on Twitter today: "Eaten way to many burgers. Need to get back into shape. Or maybe it was just the camera angle. Lol #red #burnt."

He had previously told fans: "Morning work-out with @melissaodabash. She put me through my paces #Miami #needtogetfit."
Following suggestions he had gained weight, Melissa tweeted: "Still fit enough @bencohenstandup to pass me to @julienmacdonald not sure Julien can catch me fun times Miami swim week," to accompany a playful snap of the group.
She also referenced their jog sessions during their stay earlier on: "Morning run teaching @bencohenstandup how to keep in Miami shape."
