Gemma Collins showcased the results of her weight loss transformation while holidaying in Cyprus.

The former TOWIE star, 44, shared photos of herself in a black bikini paired with white sandals and oversized sunglasses, posing confidently in the sunshine alongside a buggy.

The holiday snap come after Collins revealed she has lost two stone since beginning NHS-approved Mounjaro injections earlier this year.

Writing on Instagram, she captioned one image: “Darlings wear the bikini [sun emoji] Chase the sunsets [sun emoji] Get out and seek adventures [sun emoji].”

Collins has been candid about the impact of her weight loss, previously telling fans she feared it had left her “looking older.”

Speaking earlier this year, she admitted: “I really don't know what's happened to me, I really don't, it's just come on me overnight. But it has been a year since I've had any little tweakments.

“I don't know if it's since I've been losing weight. I sure haven't got ‘Ozempic face’ yet, but it would be the dream right now.

“I've always had a fuller face, as you know. I do like expression around my eyes. I want to look natural still. But this just isn't right. What has happened? I am 44, but this is taking it to levels that I never, ever imagined it'd get to.”

“Ozempic face” is the term used to describe sagging skin or a gaunt appearance that can follow rapid weight loss, often linked to medications like semaglutides.

Collins, who became a household name on The Only Way Is Essex, is now preparing for her next major TV project: Gemma Collins: Four Weddings and a Baby.

The new Sky documentary series promises to follow the star through “the biggest chapter of her life” as she navigates marriage and motherhood.

Announcing the series, Collins shared a behind-the-scenes snap in a rainbow kaftan while filming.

She captioned the snap: “Can't believe the news is finally out about my new series with @skytv. This time it's different. I'm putting my heart on the line no filters, no walls, just the real me.

“You'll see the real Gemma Collins behind the GC as I take on the biggest chapter of my life.

“Over the next year I will be planning my wedding and beginning the steps into starting a family and I feel truly blessed and excited for everyone to come on this new journey with me.”

The new show will mark a return to reality TV for Collins, who has remained one of the UK’s most recognisable personalities since her rise to fame in 2011.
