Taking to her Instagram, Rhian looked radiant in one photograph as she showed off her incredible figure and peachy bottom in a purple one-piece swimsuit.
She looked nothing short of sensational as she posed on a boat and showed off her peachy derriere in the scoop-back swimsuit.

Meanwhile, in another snap shared to her grid, Rhian put on a busty display in a yellow bikini as she swam underwater with a scuba mask on.
She captioned the post with: ‘Working on myself, my life and my peace! (whilst wearing this beautiful mask (smiley face emoji).
It comes after Rhian and Oliver, who had nearly given up hope of starting a family, shared their emotional journey to parenthood in an interview with The Sun.
Rhian revealed how the pair faced numerous hurdles, including a miscarriage scare at six weeks and a dramatic birth that required George to receive emergency oxygen, but despite that, his arrival has ‘taken all the years of pain away’.
The former Page 3 model discovered she was pregnant last August and announced her news three months later in a heartfelt post.
Cradling her blossoming bump she captioned the picture: ‘We have the most exciting news to share. Good things come to those who wait.’
Rhian shared stories of her IVF journey on her Instagram, where she admitted the process ‘changes you as a person’.
The model who struggled with a low egg count and went through eight rounds of IVF said: ‘The day the doctors put the last two eggs in, I had my legs up in the air on the table, crying and thinking, ‘What’s the point? I said if it didn’t work, I would just give up.’

She documented the whole thing and in one montage of clips showcased the pile of medication needles she needed which left her stomach badly bruised, plus all the collection of pregnancy tests she took when she found out about her ‘miracle baby.’
Despite her happy news, just six weeks later, the blonde beauty endured a scare and started bleeding.
She and her husband were in Manchester airport at the time which Oliver recalled as being ‘the saddest, most glum flight, thinking we had lost our baby.’
Fortunately, George survived and was born healthy at 8lb 7oz after a planned C-section.
However, it wasn’t all plain sailing and the little tot had turned blue and needed help with his breathing.
The new mum said she was close to giving up and since having George feels he has ‘taken all the years of pain away’
Since giving birth, the blonde beauty said she has a newfound appreciation for her body particularly as she breastfeeds George, describing the experience as ‘incredible’
Reflecting on the traumatic birth Rhian explained how she didn’t feel that ‘initial rush’ because they never had skin-to-skin contact.
Since giving birth, the blonde beauty said she has a newfound appreciation for her body particularly as she breastfeeds George, describing the experience as ‘incredible’.
She said: ‘It’s crazy that I’m feeding my own child from my body — nature is amazing. I feel like I love my body more than ever.’
Talking about her modelling career Rhian said that she would be up for it as she believes her body ‘is more beautiful and amazing than ever.’
