Kate Ferdinand showed off her incredible figure in Christmas pyjamas as she announced she has started her festive celebrations in a post shared to Instagram.
The former TOWIE star, 34, and her footballer husband Rio, 46, swapped their lives in south-east London for the sun-soaked desert, eight years after meeting in the city.
And Kate and her family have now officially started their Christmas celebrations in the UAE as she posed in a pair of red festive pyjamas.
Despite the hot weather, Kate has gone all out with her festivities, decorating her £6.5 million gated home with berry wreaths and ribbon garland.
The TV personality also added two wreaths with red ribbons on the double doorway and inside, a matching garland can be seen wrapped around the staircase bannister.
She appeared very much in the Christmas spirit as she posed alongside a Father Christmas and a Grinch model.

Kate shares two-year-old daughter Shae and Cree, four, with Rio, and is also stepmother to his three teenage children, Lorenz, 19, Tate, 17, and Tia ,14, from his previous marriage to Rebecca Ellison, who tragically died in 2015.
It comes after Kate revealed her thoughts about staying in Dubai long-term, after making the move to the United Arab Emirates in August.
The Daily Mail revealed the couple’s new home is in the exclusive gated community of Al Barari, with the luxury property listed for 32.5million dirhams (£6,550,310) as of April this year.
And while Kate has gushed over their family’s new life abroad, she has admitted she’s not sure how long they’ll remain in Dubai, confessing: ‘I have no idea what the future holds.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, she announced she’d be answering several questions from followers, after being ‘really really, really busy’.
And in response to one fan who asked: ‘Do you see your family in Dubai long term?’, Kate got candid about her mixed feelings on the topic.
She replied: ‘I’m really not sure. We took the leap by moving here and thought we would try something new & I’m so glad we did as 3 months in the kids seem really happy & settled and it’s a beautiful life for them.
‘There’s lots of things i miss about England but there are also lots of things I’d miss about here if I wasn’t here. So in short, I have no idea what the future holds.’

She went onto answer a question regarding how much Arabic she’d picked up in the past three months, revealing the four phrases she’d learned so far.
Kate wrote: ‘Cree & Tia have been learning it in school & are teaching me. Rio & I have both said we would like lessons, but life has been very busy recently.
‘At the moment I know: Hello, Thank you, let’s go, my love. That’s not the best but I feel like my brain is really struggling to retain information recently. Anyone else? Is it being a busy mum in your 30s thing?’
The Q&A comes just days after she revealed she was in ‘complete emotional spiral’, as she admitted she’d been struggling with being away from her stepsons.
While their youngest three children are living in the UAE, eldest sons Lorenz and Tate have remained in England as they are on the books at Brighton & Hove Albion.
And after Tate flew over to surprise Kate and Rio earlier this week, she was left overcome with emotion.

Earlier this year, she shared a heartwarming video of the moment the teen arrived at their home in the UAE to her and Rio’s surprised delight.
In the caption, she admitted how much she missed her stepsons: ‘A memory I’ll cherish forever. I love surprising people — honestly, I think I’m pretty good at it lol!
‘So knowing that Tate went to all that effort to surprise us just feels so special. I’ve had the best two days, and now that he’s left I’m on a complete emotional spiral.
‘We’re having the most amazing time in Dubai. The kids are happy, thriving, and safe, and that truly feels like such a blessing.
‘But wow… I miss Lorenz and Tate so much. It’s hard to put it into words. Counting down the days until we’re reunited.’
