Michelle Heaton will be making many fans envious as she has been sharing incredible holiday snaps during her first sober holiday with her family.
The 42-year-old Liberty X star has flown off to Mexico with her personal trainer instructor husband, Hugh Hanley, and their two children.
Michelle warned her fans to mute her Instagram feed if they didn’t want to see “fun happy photos” – and she has stayed true to her word as she has been uploading and sharing an array of sun-soaked snaps.
The mum-of-two looked in fine form as she donned a number of bikinis and swim suits during trips to the beach and hotel swimming pool.
And she has highlighted the fact that she is enjoying her first holiday abroad since battling drink and drug addictions.
She wrote on one Instagram post showing her with a beaming smile while posing with her family: “I’m not gonna lie .. a few moments I’ve had a lump in my throat and swallowed it away, knowing I am who I am and I can’t drink.
“Last night no more lumps, this sober girl can be all kinds of fun .. even on virgin cocktails I can successfully embarrass my kids.”
In another snap, Michelle posed solo in a pair of lemon coloured shorts and a purple crop top.
She wrote alongside the snap: “My first sober holiday. My first holiday in 3 years. My first sunrise after a sleep. My first time in swim wear post my breast surgery.
“Lots of 1sts .. but I am over the moon with my results in a bikini .. I owe it all to the guys at [plastic surgery company] @sculpt_mybody.
"I may not have been able to travel this far if it weren’t for you’re swift and stress free process.”
And in another post, where she shared photos of herself sporting a bright pink swimsuit while her husband Hugh showed off his incredible muscles, Michelle wrote a gushing tribute to Hugh.
She wrote: “I love you so much .. you just get me… I say ‘can u take a pic of me like as if I’m in bay watch baby’ and he says .. ‘yer cool then get me with the gun show’.”
Michelle has almost reached a year of being sober after she almost died following a three years of drink and drug addiction.
The star entered The Priory in Spring last year after celebrity friends including Katie Price staged an intervention and paid for her to get treatment.
She spent four weeks in the specialist treatment centre where she finally overcame her addiction to alcohol and cocaine.
Last May, Michelle said: “I texted Katie while I was in The Priory, ‘You saved my life’. Because The Priory did save my life.
“What I was doing was a suicide mission. I never actually thought, ‘I want to kill myself’, but ultimately I was killing myself.
“I was crying out for help when I couldn’t actually ask for help. But when you’re an addict, it feels like there’s no way out.”
Almost a year on, the star looks in incredible health during her time in the Mexican sun – with fans showering her with compliments in the comments of her Instagram posts.
One gushed: “You look amazing a true inspiration to woman.”
