Zara McDermott flashed her taut abs in a skimpy purple bikini as she posed up a storm on a sun lounger in a throwback snap on Tuesday.

The former Love Island star, 27, took to Instagram to post an album of pictures to round-up her month as April comes to an end.

In one snap she flashed her toned legs and tiny frame in an off-the-shoulder sweatshirt as she posed sitting on the pavement.

Zara displayed her bronzed collarbones in a strapless black and white striped co-ord, teamed with brown heeled sandals.

The model teased an upcoming appearance on The Weakest Link as she posed behind the stand for a snap.

The former Love Island star took to Instagram to post an album of pictures to round-up her month as April comes to an end

She caught up with fellow Strictly Come Dancing star Ellie Leach for a luxury lunch in London.

She also shared a sweet snap of her beloved boyfriend Sam Thompson holding a fresh bouquet of flowers.

If April was busy enough, Zara supported the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here star at his Staying Relevant podcast with Pete Wicks.

It comes after Zara clapped back at societal expectations of women to get married and have children, saying: 'Women are so much more than child-bearers!' 

She recently launched Rise clothing, which pledges to cater for different body types, and secured an exclusive deal with Tesco F&F to sell the range.

During an interview with Hello! magazine, Zara was asked what the next steps for her and Sam were, and if she would consider marriage.

Zara shot back: 'I think there's this expectation that people need to get married, have kids, this fairy-tale experience. Nowadays, women are so much more than people to marry and child-bearers! 

'I'm an independent career woman. I'll do these things when I'm ready, not when society tells me to do them. I don't think relationships should be put in a box. I absolutely do not want children anytime soon - right now I'm happy to be selfish.

The documentary maker is in a long-term relationship with Sam , 31, a presenter on Hits Radio, and both previously appeared in Made In Chelsea

'Sam and I barely get any time together as it is! We're really, really happy as we are and we love our little fur babies Albus and Cedric [their cats].'

Children would also mean less time with the couple's best friend Pete whom Zara happily shared was at the top of her list for who to call when she's in trouble. 

Sam and Zara's relationship has been going from strength to strength since they got back together in 2020 following a brief split.

Fans were convinced an engagement announcement was imminent in February, when the couple enjoyed a sun-soaked break in Dubai.
