Jennifer Ellison poses in bikini after swearing off fad diets

Jennifer Ellison has been inundated with compliments after posting her latest set of holiday snaps.

The former Brookside star enjoyed some time away in Turkey with her husband, Rob, and their three children. Jennifer, 39, shared a number of updates with her Instagram followers during the holiday, including a number of snaps in different bikinis.

It comes after the Liverpool-born actress lost an incredible three stone a few years ago.

After admitting she had a "sugar addiction", Jennifer took part in ITV reality show Sugar Free Farm, where a crash diet left her needing medical attention. The sugar-free diet was a huge change for the star, who admitted on the show to drinking eight cans of Coca-Cola every day, with snacks of Mars bars and jelly sweets, as she tried to balance her busy schedule with the demands of motherhood and running her dance school business.

Speaking about her ordeal in 2017, she told the ECHO : “I got hit the hardest with withdrawal, as my sugar intake was the highest. I was picking carrots with Jane on the farm and every time I bent down I felt like someone was standing on my eyeballs. I felt physically sick.

“I had the worst headache I’ve ever, ever felt. If you’ve ever detoxed, take that feeling and times it by 10. We were detoxing from processed food, sugar, alcohol, everything."

She then vowed to lose weight in a healthier way, teaming up with a personal trainer and working out five times a week.

Now, the mum-of-three looks better than ever, and it seems her fans think so too. She shared a snap of herself in a multicolour bikini, looking out onto the ocean as her holiday came to an end.

Captioning the post, she simply said: "Bye Turkey, you've been amazing!". Many of her followers were quick to compliment her.

Kelly Winter said: "Beautiful", while Rachel said: "Cheeky [fire emojis]. Rebekah said: "Girl you look unreal", and Mandy Peters said: "You are actually unreal!"
