Louise Thompson looked stunning in bikini snaps she shared on Instagram on Friday during her family holiday to Antigua and Barbuda.
The former Made in Chelsea star, 33, took to social media to share the snaps of her in a skimpy white bikini as she relaxed on the beach.
Louise completed her classy look with a big patterned red and cream sunhat and a pair of oval frame sunglasses.
She used the post to open up about her ongoing battle with PTSD and anxiety, after she spent five weeks in hospital after nearly dying, following the traumatic birth of her beloved son Leo in November 2021.
‘Playing catch up,’ she wrote: ‘A rare moment looking rather refined in a happy hat before the wheels fall off… as they always do.’

The carousel of pictures of Louise’s holiday to Caribbean country Antigua and Barbuda included a snap of herself and her two-year-old son.
Louise posed on the beach while holding Leo, as she covered up her bikini with a tiger print skirt.
In some adorable pictures of the mother and son, Louise beamed as Leo buried his head into her.
It comes after she revealed she’s written a book named Lucky, telling the story of her near-death experience.
Louise took to Instagram earlier this month to post the happy news, claiming she ‘finally feels courageous enough’ to share her story.
The mother-of-one, who shares son Leo, two, with fiancé Ryan Libbey, has been battling PTSD and anxiety.
And now Louise has said she feels ‘proud’ to share what happened, claiming she’s ‘ready’, but ‘petrified’ to enter a new chapter.
She said: ‘I finally feel ready to share my story. I feel proud, It’s a form of closure. I’m closing this chapter and getting ready to enter a new chapter. I feel like a huge weight is being lifted off my shoulders, but equally I feel petrified.’

Alongside a video revealing the news to her 1.4million followers, Louise wrote: ‘So much to say, but I seem to have writers block today.
‘Not ideal timing given that I have a particularly big announcement to get off my chest and it very much involves the theme of ‘writing’.
‘So I’ll just count myself in – 3, 2, 1 … I have written a book.
‘I feel slightly sick with nerves. A couple of years ago I experienced a series of distressing events that completely derailed me. They turned me from a highly functioning, happy and fairly successful young adult into a vegetable almost overnight.
‘The journey to get from that place to where I am today has felt like hell on earth but I finally feel courageous enough to share some of the details of what happened to me and to examine my personal lived experience since.…in one tidy space.
‘Introducing my book: LUCKY.
‘Early on in my recovery people told me that one day I would share my story and it would help lots of other people weave their way out of similar struggles.
‘It has taken me a really long time to come to terms with what happened to me, to create distance from it, to see things for what they really are, and to feel ‘ready’ to talk. But here we are.
‘In fact lots of you guys messaged me on here (either privately or in the comments) under my long captions asking me to write more because you enjoyed reading my relatable (hate this for you) ramblings so I really have you guys to thank for a lot of this.

‘I am eternally grateful to every single one of you for keeping me moving forward and with purpose. Your words have been the difference between life and death. Writing for me has been the difference between life and death.
‘The hope that I might actually get better one day and be able to help others in the future felt like the ONLY thing keeping me going at one point (a point in time so lengthy that neither of us may want to acknowledge it).
‘But we got there in the end. The past is now the present and the pipe dream has become a reality and I’m crying with pride. I feel so strong.
‘You can now pre-order my book wherever you like to buy your books. How exciting.
‘And I must admit this all feels a bit surreal and somewhat full circle… am I out the other side? Why are my emotions running so high? Why is it still so raw? Why am I still crying? I apologise if my tears make you feel uncomfortable but I also feel really good about it.
‘A new chapter is born.
‘To end with a little nugget of advice: I would encourage anyone and everyone suffering with poor MH to write their own version of a book. Get that poison out of your head and onto paper.’
