Towie’s Frankie Essex shares inspiring weight loss photo showing off her taut abs after getting rid of her ‘saggy belly’
Former reality regular is keeping the weight off thanks to her new exercise DVD
FRANKIE Essex has showed off her incredible toned tummy in an inspirational Instagram post.
The 28-year-old shared a twinned-up picture of her old, bloated midriff taken last year with a recent snap of her looking visibly slimmer.
Adding to the wow factor was the fact she was wearing the same bikini in both shots.
She captioned the pic: "Eat clean train dirty."
The Towie star has worked hard in the last year to drop the weight via a combination of intensive workout sessions and healthy eating.
While enjoying some winter sun in the Canary Islands, Frankie showed off her curves in a bright pink one-piece which featured a criss cross lace up detailed front.
As Frankie played with a bat and ball in the sea, she also showed off her pert posterior and cut out detailing on the back of her swimsuit.
After initially playing the game with her hair hanging loosely around her shoulders, Frankie piled it up on top of her head in a bun to help her catch a tan.
She was clearly in high spirits during her post-Christmas vacation, as she messed around at the waters edge, pulling funny poses and faces while still looking glam.
Frankie's hard work has paid off so much she managed to land her own fitness DVD deal which launched in October, and she recently hit out at her rivals producing similar products.
The star said viewers can really see her 'sweat' while others look picture perfect in well-lit studios.
However, as similar DVDs flood the market following the over-indulgence at Christmas, Frankie says her one is a cut above the rest.
When asked what sets her apart from her counterparts, such as I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here winner Scarlett Moffatt, Frankie told The Sun Online that "mine is completely different to everyone else's".
She continued: "We filmed it in Greece and the scenery is just beautiful.
"There are no stops either, we work out for the full 20 minutes - we don't stop and start and you can tell because the sun sets behind me while we're doing it.
"I wanted it to be as real as possible so you can really see me sweat.
"I didn't want it to be in an air conditioned studio with loads of lighting, I wanted it to be real."
