Yazmin looked positively glowing as she rocked a deep tan and gold jewelry, whilst her luscious locks hung effortlessly over her shoulders.

Posing on a balcony overlooking an idyllic pool, the brunette beauty proved she had already packed in some tanning time as she showed off an impressive bronze glow.

Yazmin and James are no doubt relishing their time away at her family villa in the former imperial city, having previously found themselves locking horns with James' ex, Danielle Armstrong.

James and Danielle dated for four years but decided to call it quits in 2016, before he went on to find love with Yazmin.

Sweet: Morocco holds fond memories for the striking brunette, whose romance with the strapping TOWIE hunk, who she met through her brother, began when they 'started talking' during a month long visit in 2016

However the two women have had a fragile relationship, often taking to social media to publicly feud and insult one another on many occasions after Danni insisted James still had feelings for her.

Although it looks like the trio have now buried the hatchet after Danielle made a surprise return to the TOWIE show this Halloween where they appeared to make up.

Ahead of the holiday with her handsome beau, the reality TV star revealed she would also be joined by both hers and James' family, which she likened to the hit comedy film Meet the Fockers.

Speaking to the Daily Star she said, 'My dad has got a villa in Marrakech so James and his family are coming out with my family for Christmas.

'It's going to be a bit like Meet The Fockers! Last year my family and I went out there for a month and that's when I started speaking to James.

'I'd known him a long time as he was close to my brother but we'd always been off-limits out of respect to my brother and because he had a girlfriend.

'We spoke everyday for a month. And look at us now!'

Morocco holds fond memories for the striking brunette, whose romance with the strapping TOWIE hunk, who she met through her brother, began when they 'started talking' during a month long visit in 2016.

But while they ready themselves for their first anniversary, Yazmin dismisses any notion of a Christmas proposal, admitting it may well be 'a couple of years' before he gets down on one knee - and only after he seeks her father's permission.

The pair appear to be going from strength to strength, with Yazmin recently sharing a gushing tribute to James for his birthday on Instagram.

Sharing a string of loved-up snaps with the entrepreneur, she wrote: 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my best-friend, boyfriend & soulmate.

'I’m so grateful that you came into my life and showed me what a true relationship is! I know I’m difficult to deal with at times and love the fact you still stand by me. We’ve shared so many amazing memories already and I can’t wait to share even more. I’ve gone right back to our very first ever pic.

' Happy Birthday my love, I hope this is your best one yet. Love you always.'

Surprise! Yazmin engaged in a bitter war of words with James' ex Danielle Armstrong, whose rocky four year relationship with James came to an end in 2016, but insists there are no hard feelings after they buried the hatchet during Danielle’s surprise TOWIE return over Halloween
