She's worked hard on her figure over the last few weeks, even enduring a fitness boot camp to get her into shape for Marbella.

And Frankie Essex is clearly enjoying showing off the fruits of her labour now she's on holiday.

The Only Way Is Essex star has been snapped revealing her ever shrinking frame in a halterneck bikini.

Frankie lapped up the rays as she paddled in the waves and seemed to have lost even more weight than previously.

The TOWIE star wore a black bikini with jewelled detailing as she frolicked in the water.

And she ensured she looked her very best for the beach outing as she wore her hair high in a knot bun.

Frankie strutted her stuff across the sand and showed her slender stomach even more when she breathed in as the cold splashes touched her skin.

And the reality star seemed to be aware how good she looked as she stood in a number of poses for onlookers and photographers to see.

She stood with her back against a tree as she stretched up to scrape her hair back.

And Frankie later stretched her body out across the sand to display her washboard stomach.

When she left the beach she decorated her hair with a big pink flower and draped a matching shawl around her arms.

It comes just a couple of weeks after a four day work out at the No.1 BootCamp with pal and co-star Lauren Goodger in the lead up to their holiday.

And she's obviously become body confident as a result of her continuing weight loss.

Who is she and what is she famous for?...What has she done to make her a celebrity?...I appeared in the crowd on the local news once when I was a kid, does that mean I'm a celebrity?

I'm so pleased for her! I remember the pictures of her with a personal trainer in the park when she just started. She's came so far. Well done!

Fair play, she has obviously worked at it and its paid off.

She looks great, but wasn't she on TOWIE complaining about her loose skin on her tummy after losing a lot of weight? They showed it. So where's the skin gone now? Or was that someone else?!

Yeah cos she never knew that the cameras were there running through the sea on her own...

>>>> ooh, yeah, soooo hard not to get up and walk all the way to the fridge, innit!

She must be desperate for a few column inches to frolic in that sea, it's filthy looking!

Those stretch marks and loose skin don't go away. Suspicious
