Celebs are losing their inhibitions (and their clothes) after lockdown – with Rita Ora & Charlotte Crosby stripping off

WHEN lockdown first began, bored celebs couldn't help but pass the time by flooding social media with some very sexy selfies.

But as restrictions continue to ease, the number of reality TV stars, musicians and models that are stripping off to bake in the heatwave has only increased.

While it may initially have just been a way to keep, erm, busy, celebs are now relishing the opportunity to top up their tans - with many even jetting abroad for last minute holidays.

From Rita Ora’s topless sunbathing photos, to bikini-clad Love Island stars showing off their washboard abs abroad, stars have gone all out to celebrate their first hint of freedom.

And while many have stuck to social media to show off their figures, others have let it all hang out in public too - with Charlotte Crosby recently snapped topless on a yacht in the Mediterranean.

Here are just some of the celebs who've continued to share some risque photoshoots recently… 

Rita Ora baring all while ‘bored’ 

Rita Ora, 29, has been living it up on holiday lately since the lockdown restrictions eased, and it's clear she's become very comfortable with her body.

Posting a series of sultry snaps while sunbathing recently, the singer confessed boredom played a factor in her decision to take the Instagram images. 

"Sunbathing series. Starts now...." she wrote in the caption. "Who else gets bored when sunbathing?"

Most recently, the star playfully matched her skimpy turquoise bikini with a patterned face mask while holidaying in Ibiza, and sunbathed topless with boyfriend Romain Gavras. 

Before restrictions eased, she was determined to make the most of her free time and happily shared revealing selfies as she isolated with pals in a rented holiday farmhouse retreat 150 miles from her North London home. 

However with the chance to spread her wings now and jet to Ibiza - her sultry snaps have certainly stepped up a level.

No holden' back for Amanda

She was one of the most inventive stars in lockdown, posting photos in her wedding dress while mowing the lawn and dressing up in ball gowns to take the bins out.

But with a little more freedom, Amanda Holden, 49, has delighted fans on a recent family holiday in the UK with some jaw-dropping bikini snaps.

While she's been soaking up some sun on the beach, she also previously showed off her killer figure in a two-piece while lying out on a pool inflatable in the shape of some huge wings.

Charlotte Crosby leaves a yacht on show

At the start of lockdown, Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby, 30, was forced to get creative in her own home - even relying on a sizzling naked throwback photo to show off her huge dragon tattoo in her bathroom.

But since restrictions have eased, she's gone all out with the nearly-naked snaps on holiday in Ibiza - and her Instagram page is full of smoking hot photos.

Clearly very pleased with her new ink, Charlotte – who is dating videographer Liam Beaumont – shared a topless snap from the poolside.

And that came in amongst a near-constant stream of bikini photos as part of a recent fashion shoot - as well as a daring naked bath photo.

The star is clearly proud of her figure, revealing at the beginning of this year she was the “happiest” she’d ever been after losing three stone,

And she well and truly proved it when she was pictured topless on a yacht recently too, looking super relaxed as she soaked up the sun.

Nicole Scherzinger matches up to her beau

Some of the most envy-inducing holiday photos post-lockdown have come from Nicole Scherzinger and her boyfriend Thom Evans, as they enjoy a luxury holiday in the Caribbean.

Showing no signs of the lockdown slump, the Pussycat Dolls star, 42, has shown off a variety of bikinis while paddleboarding, sunning herself on a boat and dancing.

In one series of photos, the pair even appeared to colour co-ordinate in matching blue swimming gear - both showing off their incredible abs.

Couples that dance, exercise and sunbathe together, stay together.

Kylie Jenner cools off in the heatwave 

It’s been unbearably hot in the UK lately – but some celebs were locked down in even hotter climates. 

Kylie Jenner broke away from her at-home selfies as soon as restrictions started to ease and cooled down in the Utah desert, by donning a teeny tiny orange bikini.

And the mum-of-one wasn’t exactly roughing it. 

With restrictions eased, The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star was on a break at the £3k a night luxury Amangiri resort in Canyon Point. 

The beauty mogul, 22, was relaxing at the five-star hideaway, which boasts a spa, desert suites and panoramic views across 600 acres of canyons.

Kylie also recently delighted fans when she posted a tasteful topless black and white shoot pic.

Emily Ratajkowski striking a pose

Model Emily Ratajkowski, 29, may have got hearts racing throughout lockdown with a series of lingerie photos at home - but she's turned up the heat yet again in recent weeks.

The model has been posting a series of racy beach pics wearing a turquoise barely-there string bikini, and a necklace of her beloved dog's name.

While she appears to have remained close to home, she recently headed off on a Hamptons getaway to celebrate her slice of freedom.

There will likely be many more bikini snaps to come in the near future.

Love Islanders get back to their roots

Some of the main stars leading the post-lockdown holiday trend however have been Love Island beauties.

While many continued to post snaps in bikinis and lingerie from home over the last few months - the opening up of air travel has allowed them to go bikini snap mad on Instagram.

Zara McDermott recently jetted to Mykonos with her partner Sam Thompson - and kept fans updated every, single step of the way.

The reality star posted almost daily bikini photos from her break away, showing off her ever-growing tan for all to see.

And she had competition from Arabella Chi, who has been enjoying a break in Ibiza - with spectacular views and an even more spectacular bikini collection.

Meanwhile Georgia Steel has also been at it, recently posing topless in a field as well as in the shower - alongside bikini snaps from a break in Ibiza.

Bella Hadid donning a tiny two-piece for some ‘soul searching’ 

Since topping up the tan throughout lockdown, pregnant Gigi’s little sis Bella Hadid appears to have embraced restrictions easing, and has recently taken the time to discover herself too. 

Donning a tiny two piece in the forest, the star got close to nature as she shared a revealing series of images that showed off her incredible curves. 

Bella captioned the image: "Day 92 of soul searching in these mf trees."

The star also shared some sizzling shots from a campaign she did with Chanel, wearing nothing but bikini bottoms and a pair of gloves.

It's fair to say they've embraced the post-lockdown heatwave in style.
