Kim Kardashian issued serious safety warning after posting loved-up photos with Lewis Hamilton
Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have been looking every inch the loved up couple in their holiday snaps.
They've been keeping fans updated with photos from their trip on a sun-soaked vacation, as their relationship gets increasingly serious.
Some fans were left thinking Kardashian accidentally snubbed Hamilton when she missed him off an Instagram pic of her on a swing, but now the star has been warned over her new photo.
The couple posted a snap of them getting ready for a fun activity day, donning full face helmets and brandishing paintball guns for the camera.

However, while Hamilton is sporting bright red protective gear across his chest, Kardashian is wearing only a string bikini top with her whole torso exposed.
She's got long sleeves and gloves on, as well as practical padded trousers, which is at odds with leaving her body unprotected.
Of course, the businesswoman could have taken off her body armour for a photo, but critics rushed to warn her of the dangers when she posted the pic.
"I hope she didn’t actually do paintball with that fit coz a direct hit on skin gonna leave a bruise!" wrote one.
"If you ever have played paintball then you know that outfit is crazy work" added another.
One social media user marvelled: "No way she wore that to play paintball?!?"
"Going paintball bare chested is absolute insanity!? I know big grown lads who wear multiple layers out of fear - Lewis is literally wearing a body protector too!" noted another.
"When I last played paintball i wore like four T-shirts," remarked one commenter, while someone else agreed: "Had an overall on and still walked away with bruises!"
"Horrible paint balling attire from Kim, she about to be welted," warned another.
Someone else joked that it was like most video games come to life, where the male characters are heavily armoured but the female versions are only wearing bikinis.
Others just shared their delight that we're getting to see so many pics of the couple: "Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian ain’t taking their feet off our necks" they praised.
One paintball park in the UK warns customers: "These paintballs can hit very hard and have the potential to leave welts or even break a player’s skin."
However, they stated that different-sized paintballs 'hit with different amounts of energy'.
When paintballing in the UK, they said that most places opt for a 'low impact, .50 calibre facility, which has one-third the mass of a normal paintball.'
Apparently these hurt less, and therefore need less padding compared to 'a standard .60 calibre paintball.'
Either way, they advise 'it is still a good idea to have full upper-body coverage, as a hit to bare skin does more damage and can lead to worse bruises from paintball and has a longer-lasting sting than if it was to hit your clothing.'
So while there's no arguing that she looks incredible, maybe don't take fashion tips from Kardashian for this one if you're going paintballing anytime soon.
