Frankie Essex shows off her enviably toned stomach in skimpy pink bikini as she hits the beach in Lanzarote

She dropped a whopping two stone last year, after her weight ballooned due to a knee injury.

And Frankie Essex proudly showed off the fruits of her fitness labours on Wednesday, as she hit the beach in Lanzarote. 

The reality star, 29, displayed her impressively toned stomach and tiny waist in a barely-there pink bikini, as she topped up her tan on the sun-soaked island.

The former TOWIE star certainly turned heads as she relaxed in nothing but the two-piece - which left her impressively ripping abs and petite waist on show.

The top plunged into a deep V at the chest to give an eye-popping glimpse of cleavage, before securing into a single string at the back to show off plenty of smooth, sun-kissed skin. 

Paired with equally skimpy bottoms, which rose to a daring height at her hip, Frankie then drew attention to her long and slender legs as she paraded her figure on the beach.

Never without a hint of her trademark Essex glamour, the bikini was embellished with glittering gold hoops on the straps, while Frankie tied her look together with oversized sunglasses. 

She kept her hair in loose waves, but still sported her usual heavily contoured make-up look, despite the blazing sunshine. 

The ITVBe star lost over two stone in seven months after her weight ballooned to 12st 8lbs, when a knee injury left her unable to exercise. 

She first revealed the staggering results of her weight loss in November last year, and spoke to MailOnline at the time about her journey.

Frankie revealed: 'I've had a year and a half of being sad and depressed and not even wanting to leave the house at times. 

'Burning calories and getting a sweat on, it just releases the endorphins and it makes you feel better.'

The reality star had to overcome the fear of being judged when she first rejoined a gym and embarked on her weight loss journey.

'Sometimes I think the gym's a bit scary,' she said. 'I didn't go for ages, it's a bit intimidating. Especially being on TV, I felt like everyone was looking at me anyway, and I was bigger and I felt fat.

'Now I talk to all the men about their regimes and we all kind of copy each other's routines.'
