Tina Malone continues to show off her new figure during sun-filled break with her daughter

SLIMMED-DOWN Shameless star Tina Malone showed she was a big kid at heart as she fooled around at a fairground with her adorable daughter Flame.

The actress, who recently underwent a tummy tuck to remove excess skin from her whopping 12-stone weight loss, dressed in a sports-style playsuit which clung tight to her toned body as she headed on their sunny day out.

The strapless all-in-one showed off her lean arms and toned shoulders, while the short-legged hemline flashed her newly-defined legs.

The mother-and-daughter pair headed straight for the rides as they arrived at the amusement park.

Tina wore a huge pair of sunglasses and tied her hair back ready for some thrills on a Hello Kitty-themed seat.

She was seen topping up her tan as she perched in a pink chair with her face raised to the sky.

The backdrop of the ride showed the popular cartoon cat peeking out from a window of the plastic house.

The Channel 4 star seemed truly relaxed as she took some time out and swigged some fizzy drink as she made the most of her chill time.

Meanwhile her adorable daughter, aged two, had dashed to explore the park.

Tina, 53, joined her at a solo sunshine ride, where she picked her up and popped her onto a shell-shaped seat.

Both had their mouths wide open in delight as Tina took the lead in pushing Flame around.

They giggled throughout with the youngster scooting to one side of the seat as her mum got playful and pulled a funny face.

They then switched to a two-seat motorbike ride where Tina stood protectively behind her as she took the wheel.

It was then treat time as they headed to the playground's stalls and emerged with a Princess-printed bag.

Flame was also seen cuddling a soft toy dog and reaching on her tip-toes to give her mum a thank you kiss.

Tina has never been afraid of speaking out about her decision to have gastric band surgery six years ago, which saw her go from a size 28 to a tiny size six.

Last month Tina urged overweight Brits to consider the surgery, following her own success.

Appearing on This Morning, the mother-of-two told viewers: “My advice is, if you can pay for acrylics and cigarettes, save up for a gastric band.

“Save your life. It has changed me as a person. I am less angry.

“[I had] fat growing out of every part of [my] body.”

While the star had a helping hand with the surgery – having admitted to undergoing nine in total as well as her gastric band – including having skin removed from her arms, neck and thighs, she has adopted a healthy eating and fitness regime to help her keep her trim figure.
