As the 27-year-old sunned herself by the pool she took time out to take precautions and cover her ample cleavage in sun cream.

Thinking ahead the reality star, who has recently embarked on a fitness kick to ditch the extra pounds, pulled back her swimsuit straps to avoid any visible tan lines.

And it was a low key day for Frankie, who has been partying on the sunshine island with her cousin Chloe Sims.

"It's helped her mental health so much and she is starting to really enjoy life as everyone should. Her weight loss is for herself and her health. "

Frankie has spoken about her battle with her weight in the past, admitting that she often turns to food when she is feeling depressed.

And following her split from her ex John Lyons she sunk into depression which
resulted in her turning to food and booze.

In a heartfelt interview Frankie, who lost her mum when she was 13-years-old, said: "I did think about killing myself, like my mum. She was depressed and I’m scared I’ll fall into that hole. But I’m on antidepressants now and they’re helping me feel happier. I want to be the old Frankie again.

“I’d lost all my confidence. I had a really sh** year, probably the worst year I’ve ever had, and I was really down. I lived with my boyfriend John [Lyons] and I had to move out.”

She told  magazine: “When I’m unhappy it always takes me back to being the 13-year-old girl who lost her mum.

“I felt so sad I’d lock myself away and stay inside and eat."

 Frankie seemed to enjoy the peace and quiet
