Jacqueline Jossa looks incredible as she glams up for shoot – after showing off weight loss in a bikini on holiday

JACQUELINE Jossa has glammed up for a swimwear photo shoot as she shows off her half-a-stone weight loss on holiday.

The former EastEnders actress looked incredible as she stripped down to a cut-out swimsuit from her swimwear collection with In The Style.

Having embarked on a fitness overhaul earlier this year, Jacqueline, 28, shed half a stone - and now looks ready to show off the fruits of her labour.

In a series of Instagram snaps, the star revealed her toned tummy and long legs as she soaked up the sun on her Portugal getaway.

Striking a pout towards the camera, Jac looked glamorous as she styled her long brunette tresses into beach-ready waves, pulled back by a headband.

Posting a saucy snap of a behind-the-scenes moment from the shoot, she wrote to her fans of her new look: "Who run the world? Curls!"

Other snaps saw the star strip down to a stunning polka-dot bikini and matching cover-up, showing off her toned abs.

"I've been waiting months to release this," she said of the fashion collection, which includes a range of swimwear and poolside cover-ups.

A close-up shot of another gingham ensemble revealed her perfected palette of makeup, complete with a glossy nude lip.

Another snap saw Jacqueline slip into a black floral two-piece, with a matching sarong skirt, while in a fourth she donned a black playsuit.

Taking to her Instagram stories, she showed off more of the stunning array of looks, first lying back in the sunshine in a brown off-the-shoulder bikini.

"I'm here doing an In The Style shoot," she told her following. "Little bit of a different location - family holiday and work, but it's actually really lovely."

Jac went on to pose in her hotel-room mirror, showing off a waffle-style swimsuit and black wrap-around, which she explained was her "favourite".

"This sheer material sort of smoothes and blends, so you don't see any rolls or folds," the former soap star joked, poking at her stomach.

She also donned two frilled bikinis, in black and red, as well as an eye-popping cut-out swimsuit - showing off her slim stomach.

Announcing the release of the collection on Wednesday, the Queen of the Jungle wrote to her fans: "I am so excited to share this with you, I've been waiting months to release this.

"Even though I helped design everything I cannot tell you how nervous I was about shooting it, not knowing if I'd look and feel nice but seriously guys, just wow!

"Every piece made me feel incredible, the shapes we designed are so flattering! High waisted bottoms, ruched fabrics, cover ups, the prints. I really cannot wait for you to see it all!"

In March, Jac opened up about feeling "really good" as she spoke about her weight loss during an Instagram Q&A session.

Admitting she had struggled to stick to her healthy eating plan, the star still celebrated losing "over half a stone" despite looking to lose more.

She has overhauled her lifestyle with a healthier diet and more exercise, explaining: "I have tried to be as good as possible. You guys know I'm on a bit of a healthy reboot plan.

She added: "I think we're going to be fine. I still feel really good and I definitely haven't eaten as much crap as I would have during these times. So that's good, isn't it?"

She revealed the dramatic results earlier this week after jetting abroad with daughters Mia , two, and Ella, six, and stripping down to a bikini.

The family have been staying in a mystery location in Portugal, but it doesn't look as though husband Dan Osbourne has joined them.

It comes weeks after Jacqueline showed off her tiny waist as she modelled her stunning new collection of summer dresses.

The mother-of-two showed off six pretty looks as she posed outside for the photoshoot - with the outfits drawing attention to her trim frame.
