Abs-olutely incredible: Lauren Pope, 34, showed off her incredibly slender and toned frame in a chic black bikini for her Instagram fans on Thursday

Dressed in a skimpy black two-piece, the former TOWIE star displayed her rippling washboard abs for all to see in the saucy shot.

The bra top plunged into a deep V to flash a hint of her cleavage before splitting into separate straps underneath, resulting in further sexy cut-outs under her bust.

She paired the top with a set of very skimpy matching bottoms, leaving most of her toned and incredibly tanned frame on show. 

Slender: Lauren is known for her enviable figure, admitting she went 'hardcore' in the gym after being left dissatisfied when she looked in the mirror

Leaving her blonde tresses in loose, voluminous waves and dressing her face with simple bronzed make-up, the star looked every inch the beach babe as she cocked her hip for the cameras.

Lauren jetted to Ibiza earlier this year to perform a string of DJ sets on the popular club scene there - having left TOWIE to venture other projects in 2015.

As well as turning her hand to music, the Torquay-born blonde has also spent much of her new-found free time in the gym - often posting intense workouts and flaunting her impressive figure on her social media pages.

Talking to MailOnline last week, the beauty said that she was delighted to be able to showcase her stunning figure on her Ibiza trip, after she worked hard in the gym following her first trip where she wasn't entirely happy with her physique.

She said: 'When I went out to Ibiza at the start of the summer I didn't look my best. I was partying a lot and when you're drinking you're then hungover and the next day you eat more.

'I used unflattering pictures of myself from then to motivate myself to keep in shape and I went hardcore.

Taken! Having achieved and maintained such an enviable figure, it is no surprise that Lauren has also found love once again - revealing to MailOnline she was dating again

'I now do four to five sessions in the gym and sometimes even six. I mix it up between weights and cardio.' 

Having achieved and maintained such an enviable figure, it is no surprise that Lauren has also found love once again - after a string of failed relationships with the likes of Kirk Norcross and Lewis Bloor. 

Speaking about her new man, she told MailOnline: 'It's in the early stages at the moment - he's a nice, normal guy and it's really nice that he's not famous. 

'He messaged me on Instagram and we've been on four or five dates so far'.

Lauren, who previously dated ladies' man Lewis Bloor, then joked: 'It's great that he's unknown because if he cheats on me the whole world won't know about it.' 

Success: Her career is also moving from strength to strength alongside her personal life, as the founder and designer of Hair Rehab London - a premium brand of clip in hair extensions

'I'm very happy to wait for the right man rather than pop one out with some random loser. I'm very independent and I think some people in general tend to settle too easily.

'It's hard to find the right man - there are a lot of a**holes out there,' she concluded honestly.' 

Her career is also moving from strength to strength alongside her personal life, as the founder and designer of Hair Rehab London - a premium brand of clip in hair extensions.

She recently announced fellow reality star Olivia Buckland, who rose to fame on ITV2's Love Island earlier this year, was to be the face of the range's new 'dirty blonde' colour.
