FORMER The Only Way Is Essex star Frankie Essex showed off the results of her recent weight loss during a holiday in Marbella.
The 31-year-old reality star was snapped soaking up the Spanish sun as she flaunted her toned figure near the pool.
Wearing nothing but a flattering red bikini, the Essex star appeared confident as she looked over the hotel balcony.
The saucy snaps come months after Frankie, who’s brother is Joey Essex, was pictured looking slightly heavier last Christmas.
But after slimming down in recent months, sources reveal the star is feeling better than ever.
An insider said: “Frankie is feeling amazing right now. At Christmas she was pictured looking much larger and it was the wake up call she needed.
“She has been working out a lot and feels amazing, plus she has been eating right which is key.
“She feels in the best head space she has in a long time and couldn’t be happier.”
Frankie has never been one to keep quiet about her weight issues.
Last year she suffered a knee injury, leaving her unable to exercise, and admitted she felt down about the weight gain.
A pal exclusively told The Sun: “Frankie had a terrible year of not being able to exercise due to a knee injury.
“She still can’t exercise and is the biggest she has ever been. She’s put on 2 stone. It’s really getting her down but she has the all clear now and is determined to get back into great shape in 2019.”
Frankie joined TOWIE as a background character in series two in 2011.
In 2012 she dated John Lyons but their relationship was too tumultuous and violent to sustain, as the police were called to settle their fights on multiple occasions.
