Gemma Atkinson has proved once again why she's one of the nation's favourite pin-ups.

The model's skimpy blue bikini barely contained her surgically-enhanced 34E breasts as she lapped up the Spanish sun while on a romantic break with boyfriend Marcus Bent.

Atkinson, 23, spent some time making waves in the sea before enjoying a passionate embrace with the 29-year-old footballer.

The starlet first set pulses racing with her appearance on reality TV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2007, where her ample physical attributes made an impression.

However the shapely actress lost some of her curves during the fortnight on the show, due to the sparse jungle diet and her rigorous daily exercise regime.
