Holby City legend Tina Hobley, 53, stuns as she strips off to a bikini on holiday in Brazil

, 53, was best known for her long-running role as Chrissie Williams in the BBC One medical drama series.

The TV star took to Instagram to share photos of her in a two-piece green bikini while on a boat.

She also posted a clip of her hair in the canoeing and sunbathing on a golden sand beach.

Tina later dazzled in a black swimsuit while sat on a swing.

Tina, who is married to actor Oliver Wheeler, has also starred on Coronation Street in 1996 as Samantha Failsworth and appeared on Celebrity MasterChef in 2014.

In 2017, Tina also took part on The Jump but was forced to quit after an injury.

In an emotionally charged Loose Women appearance, Tina also joked about how the traumatic incident had impacted her sex life.

Speaking during a chat about couples who use sex robots to heal their relationships, at the time Tina revealed: "I'm still in shock about that robot. Would I do it? No, I wouldn't! Though with the year I've had my poor husband hasn't had much of anything!"

The actress was forced to withdraw from the 2016 after her elbow came out of its socket and her arm was broken in two places while preparing for a fear-inducing stunt on the Channel 4 show where celebrities compete in skiing challenges.

Revealing the impact her injuries had on her children, Tina revealed: "It was hard for them. There were really low times. I think the lowest was when I couldn't brush my teeth or put my shoes on because both my arms were in a cast."

During the interview, she explained: "I was on strong painkillers for about six months and my hair started falling out and they [her children] saw that. It was really bad. I was on Tramadol for six months and I had a bad allergy or something to it where your hair starts falling out. I think it was the stress.

"I was having a great time on the show. I've skied for 30 years, so I've skied always and my friend Tamara [Beckwith] was doing it, we thought it would be great. I was just incredibly unlucky.

"When they told me to jump, they hadn't checked that it was clear for me to jump. So they sent me jumping and it was just one of those things."
