Paul Scholes' daughter Alicia Scholes showed off her scars in a bikini on Tuesday as she enjoyed a holiday to Portugal The 25-year-old daughter of the Manchester United ace, 51, and his wife Claire Froggatt was hospitalised at Tameside General Hospital this month, though she failed to disclose the reason Alicia is the daughter of famous former footballer and pundit Paul [pictured together]She also slipped into a pink and white heart-printed underwear set, in which the plasters covering her scars were also visible. Alicia sizzled in another racy cut-out bikini, while also posing for a mirror selfie in her sleepwear. It comes after she paid a heartfelt tribute to her loving father in November after his emotional podcast episode. The former midfielder spoke candidly on Stick to Football about the challenges of raising his non-verbal autistic son, Aiden, Alicia's younger brother. Aiden was diagnosed with severe autism aged two-and-a-half and Scholes shared how tough it was getting to grips with raising a neuro-diverse child while playing football at the top level, also confessing his great fear of what will happen to his son when he is no longer around to care for him. The response, particularly from parents in a similar situation blew Scholes away and now his daughter has shared her own touching tribute. Alicia is a hugely talented athlete in her own right and plays netball for England and London Pulse. On Instagram, she wrote: 'God knows how hard that episode must’ve been!!!!! We love you so much.'She went on: 'I've never known anyone hate talking about themself more than you and can only imagine how hard it was speaking about Aidie and the reality of a very, very hard situation. My whole life your priority has always been being my dad and growing up realising how hard you had to work everyday alongside that is something I can't even comprehend. Despite keeping quiet over her illness, Alicia happily showcased the three scars around her abdomen as she modelled a skimpy bikini on Instagram Alicia also slipped into a pink and white heart-printed underwear set, in which the plasters covering her scars were also visible She also sizzled in another racy cut-out bikini as she knelt in the sunshine She was also seen posing for a mirror selfie in her sleepwear Making light of her apparent procedure, Alicia captioned her photos writing: 'Took my 3 brand new shiny scars away''To achieve all you did takes so much sacrifice and somehow I still had you to take me to school every morning and there at the end of each day, so present in every aspect of my life!'Alicia, who is dating Love Island Series 11 star Ayo Odukoya, shares snaps of her glamourous life on Instagram with more than 100,000 followers but also opened up about the challenges of having such a public profile, given her father's achievements. Alicia continued: 'I never knew that having your name would be the heaviest weight I'd have to carry but over time I'm learning and hoping the pressure has made me stronger, it's people I've never met writing all over Twitter about how much they hate me or how rude I am or how bad my attitude is, people who have never had a conversation with me assuming I'm going to be a certain way so dislike me for reasons they've made up in their own head. 'My mum being at games overhearing fans tell each other I'm only in teams because of my dad, nothing to do with the work or dedication I've put in. 'I've had everything I do have more attention than it should, being judged 10x harder and criticised 10x more, always having to play above or beyond expectations to be acknowledged or praised because my bar is naturally so much higher, every success or achievement getting compared to a standard impossible to meet. 'Growing up with eyes on you that you didn't ask for has an impact and it's not normal to live in a world where everyone's view on you is based on things nothing to do with who you are or what you've done. 'Nobody teaches you to grow up with all these eyes and it took me so long to realise that but again I look at you, and not only are you everything I want to be as an athlete but your character and how you carry yourself is admirable.'
