Holly Hagan appeared to have caught the sun on Monday, after spending the bank holiday relaxing on a sun lounger in her garden.
The reality personality, 33, took to her Instagram Stories to share a selfie of her soaking up the sunshine in a tiny black sports bra, while enjoying a chocolate ice cream.
However, when she later filmed herself in bed advertising a competition from her company, she displayed a visibly reddened chest.
Chatting away to her followers to promote her latest contest, Holly’s strappy black top revealed her stark tan lines, appearing to be a case of bad sunburn.
However, she looked in cheerful spirits after spending the day relaxing with her son Alpha-Jax, two, and reading Alex Hormozi’s $100M Money Models – showing business owners ‘the art of getting more customers to spend more money faster.’
It was a far cry from how she spent her holiday in her younger years when starring on Geordie Shore, and Holly couldn’t help but poke fun at how different her life was.

She captioned her snap: ‘How I’ve spent my bank holiday’ before sharing her half-sister Darci’s Instagram post from her day out at Creamfields festival to show the contrast.
Holly quipped in the caption: ‘Vs how my sister spent hers’ before adding: ‘@darciirosee it’s like I’m watching you live my old life’.
Her post comes just a week after she got very candid about her battle with postpartum anxiety following the birth of son Alpha-Jax.
The TV star, who has launched a new career move hosting CBeebies Parenting Helpline podcast, admitted she questioned her choice to become a mother at the height of her battle with her mental health.
Holly shares Alpha-Jax with husband Jacob Blyth, a footballer for semi-pro Wythenshawe Town, with whom she would ‘bicker’ at her lowest points.
The star, who shot to fame on the MTV show at 18, told MSN: ‘When it’s your first child, you don’t realise that everything’s a stage – but it was a bloody long stage…
‘He would whinge all the time, nothing made him happy. I think he hated being a baby. All he wanted to do was walk, talk, eat, crawl. I wondered if I’d made a mistake in choosing to be a parent…
‘I loved this child to bits, I felt such a strong bond, but to not be able to do anything that made him happy was difficult. Every day, I was like, ‘This has to get better, it can’t go on like this.’

Holly discussed how she could not get any rest due to her fears over her son which made her feel worse, saying: ‘I had postpartum anxiety and it sounds so morbid but I couldn’t sleep when he was sleeping…
‘ I thought he was going to stop breathing, so I would just stare at him all night. And considering we were pretty much perfect before children, me and Jacob were bickering every day…
‘But if you can get through that first year, you can get through anything.’
Her new chat comes after Holly heartbreakingly revealed she suffered a miscarriage in March during a Q&A on Instagram last month.
When asked: ‘Are you having anymore children? Your a great mum [sic]’, Holly, who shot to fame on the MTV show in 2011, replied with the heartbreaking news and urged fans to stop quizzing her on children.
Layered over the top of a picture of two pregnancy tests, she wrote: ‘Just because 90% of the questions are about when we’re having another and I do get constant comments like ‘AJ needs a sibling’ and I’m like I KNOWW!!…

‘I did want to speak about it at the time but didn’t know how and didn’t know how and didn’t want any sympathy (and still don’t so please don’t message lol) but we did miscarry in March…
‘Just a reminder to be mindful when commenting saying ‘when’s the next’ because how on earth would we know that.’
Holly is often candid on social media and has frequently opened up about the ups and downs of motherhood since welcoming Alpha-Jax in June 2023.
