GEMMA Collins showed off her trimmer waist following her staggering weight loss in a black fringe bikini.
The 40-year-old star made the most of the UK's hot weather yesterday as she soaked up the sun by a swimming pool.
Uploading a video of herself in her swimwear yesterday, The GC told fans that she was feeling "body confident" as she encouraged followers to make the most of the heat.
She explained: "Girls, I'm just coming on here to say that the sun is shining.
"If any of you want to feel body confident then get your bikinis on.
"I'm feeling very body confident!"
Gemma looked slimmer than ever in the clip, wearing a quirky black bikini with fringe detailing that framed her smaller figure.
She completed the look with a sunhat and sunglasses, with her blonde hair tied back into a messy ponytail.
The former Towie favourite quoted Marilyn Monroe as she captioned the post: "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARYLYN ! YOU ICON".
Gemma went on: "LET'S JUST ALL LOVE OURSELVES! Let’s stop pulling ourselves apart don’t let social media conform us into being all the same 🙌🏻 or control you 🙌🏻 keep thinking outside the box 🙌🏻
"Just be YOU LOVE YOU and be your own judge ✌🏻 summer's here, love your body, love you, it’s all about health and how you feel be realistic don’t talk bad to yourself LOVE YOURSELF 🙌🏻"
The star has lost nearly four stone in recent months and has rebranded herself as the "fitness queen".
She has undergone what she termed a "massive health overhaul" by taking up running and hiring a personal trainer.
Gemma has also launched her own fitness range and plans to release an app so fans can follow her plans
