Tina OBrien Flaunts Bikini Body in Italy!

star showed off her incredible figure in a tiny bikini as she soaked up the sun in on Thursday. 

The actress, 42, took to Instagram to share a slew of stunning snaps from the trip where she slipped into a pink and green patterned two piece.

Other snaps saw her posing in a stylish strapless dress while enjoying a glass of fizz at dinner, while she wore a chic polka dot look for another evening. 

She penned in the caption of her post: 'I had the most incredible solo travel experience exploring Ischia and Capri❤️Can't wait to plan the next one.'

It comes after recently Tina spilled her beauty regime secrets, admitting 'it's so embarrassingly low key that it's almost non-existent'.

The actress has been plugging collagen supplements on Instagram, but admitted in one of the ads that the real reason behind her youthful appearance is her love of sleep. 

'I'm turning 43 this year and sometimes people say to me, 'what beauty regimes are you using?' And the truth is, it's so embarrassingly low key that it's almost non-existent,' she confessed in the Insta video.

'You'd think that working on television that I would have an amazing 10 step routine by now, but sadly, I don't.

'But the things that I really do swear by are very, very simple. I'm obsessed with sleep and I need a minimum of 8 hours, but ideally I love to get 10.'

Tina, who was 16 when she joined Coronation Street in 1999, added in the caption: 'I've never followed a regimented skincare routine. Instead I swear by three simple things: Eight hours sleep. Drinking lots of water. And the main one... collagen.'

Tina has been through a tough time in recent months, following the heartbreaking death of her father and a breakup.

The soap actress shared a post on Instagram late last year, explaining why she had been absent from social media for a while.

'I've been a little quiet on here. My dad recently died. I haven't quite known how to put it into words,' she told fans in the post, which was accompanied by the poignant Cat Stevens song Father And Son.

'My heart is very heavy, but I'm grateful he is no longer suffering. Thank you to everyone who's held me steady through this difficult time.
