She's already enjoyed her fair share of holidays this year but 'Peru Two' mule Michaella McCollum seems intent on making the most of the summer sun.

The 24-year-old displayed her toned physique and pert bottom in a skimpy two-piece as she relaxed on yet another holiday - this time in Mallorca. 

Michaella donned a revealing red bikini as she caught some rays on the beach before taking a refreshing shower.

It's been four years since the 'Peru Two' drug mules were caught trying to smuggle £1.5million worth of cocaine to Europe and Michaella has certainly been making the most of her newfound freedom.

The beach lover recently signed up for the dole amid claims she is set to appear on Celebrity Big Brother, having spent time on the beach in Ibiza and Marbella, Spain, in recent months.

But as they try to rebuild their lives after being freed from a Peruvian jail in 2016, the two friends had very different things on their mind.

Melissa Reid, 23, was spotted leaving her new office in Glasgow earlier this month, having got a job working for a Citizen's Advice Bureau in the city, while her partner in crime Michaella enjoyed a pamper day getting her hair done.

Meanwhile, strolling through the city centre in a denim jacket and espadrilles, clutching a lunch box, Reid was barely recognisable from the woman who won notoriety after she was pictured being apprehended at Lima Airport in 2013.

She applied for a job at the charity after she was released from the South American jail last June, having served two years in prison.  

While Reid has taken on the new role, the same can't be said about McCollum, 24, who has been accused of capitalising on the pair's notoriety with a rumoured TV show in the works.

'Melissa has been keeping her head down. She's landed a role with a charity and is living a normal life,' a source recently told The Sun.

'She'd much rather be doing that than posing in a bikini or appearing on telly like Michaella seems intent on doing.

'It looks as if she has left her old ways behind and is trying to give something back to the community.'

Reid and McCollum met in Ibiza in 2013 where they were employed by a drug-dealing gang. 

Reid previously told the Mail on Sunday: 'I was taking drugs – ecstasy, ketamine and cocaine – and on a downward spiral and it wasn't going to end well.'

They were sentenced to spend six years and eight months inside a grim jail in Lima, after they were caught trying to smuggle the huge quantity of cocaine. 

However, Reid only served half of her sentence and was released last June. 

When she returned to Scotland, she said: 'I regret what I did and I don't want to make any excuses.

'I'm embarrassed and ashamed and sorry and I want people to know that. I can't sit here and say I made a mistake… I knew what I was doing. I made a conscious decision to do it and no one forced me.  

'I was taking drugs – ecstasy, ketamine and cocaine – and on a downward spiral and it wasn't going to end well. I honestly think that if I had carried on the way I was going I would be dead right now.

'I never worried about being caught. I never really thought about what I was doing. I think I wanted to be this big person that I'm not.'

She also revealed that she lied to police, saying armed gangsters had forced her to carry cocaine – when in fact she had willingly smuggled the drugs not only for £4,000 payment, but also because she wanted to be able to 'boast' about it.
