Simone Ashley Stuns in Skimpy Bikinis on Holiday

showed off her incredible figure in a series of sizzling bikini snaps as she shared a glimpse of her lavish holiday album on Instagram on Friday. 

The star, 31, looked sensational in a pink floral bikini as she soaked up the sun at the beach at a luxury unknown location. 

Simone pushed her long wet tresses out of her face as she cooled off in the ocean before posing for photos with a friend. 

The actress later slipped into a skimpy green bikini which boasted a triangle top and matching tie side bottoms as she enjoyed paddle boarding. 

She shielded from the sun under a stylish woven hat as she knelt on the paddle board in the ocean. 

Simone later shaded under the palm trees as she enjoyed a snack while wrapped in a white towel. 

After getting her big break in Netflix's Sex Education in 2019, Simone went on to break down cultural barriers as she secured the lead in series two of Bridgerton.

She most recently played her dream role as Miranda Priestley's new assistant Amari in the highly-anticipated sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2.

Born to first-generation immigrants from India, Simone's parents pursued more traditional careers, her mother an accountant and her father a pharmacist.

She admits that having grown up in a 'household full of Indian academics', her 'incredibly protective' parents were not initially keen about her pursuing a creative career, telling Veylex that she's found it 'stifling at times.

'It made me want to escape and do things my own way. I’ve always been a bit rebellious in that sense,' she said.

But it soon became clear to Simone her passions lay elsewhere after she started singing lessons aged six and realised she wished to pursue the arts.

After two years studying at Redroofs School for the Performing Arts for sixth form, she then went on to pursue a degree in Musical Theatre at ArtsEd in London.

Securing small roles in a range of British dramas, including Broadchurch, Doctors and Casualty, her first big break came when she bagged the role of Olivia in Netflix's Sex Education.

Throwing herself into racy scenes, one episode sees the character climbing on top of her boyfriend to have sex with him while wearing full Indian dress while her mother sips cups of tea downstairs.

Fearing she makes an ugly face whenever she has an orgasm, she covers his face with a pillow, causing Malek to believe that she has a fetish which freaks him out.

She is later seen putting tape onto Malek's face to make him uglier during sex so she feels at ease.

Addressing her heritage as an actress of South Asian descent, Simone has spoken out about systemic prejudices in the industry.

'Yes, colorism is an ongoing issue. As is being typecast, being looked over because of the color of your skin, [and] losing roles to girls that are more "relatable" to target audiences and markets.'

She added: 'If I surrender to all of that, where would I be going? Nowhere.'
