Star in stripes: Danielle Lloyd put her bikini body on show while soaking up the sun in Portugal yesterday

The 25-year-old, who is enjoying her second sun holiday in as many months, was intent on topping up her tan during her afternoon in the sun, occasionally taking to the water on a lilo to cool off.

Danielle recently revealed she'd cut down on alcohol in an effort to lose weight after the papers called her 'porky'.

She lost a stone by avoiding drink and junk food, saying: 'Now I drink about seven units over the weekend, rather than more than that every night!'

Hold that pose: Danielle does her best to act natural

'I'm really pleased because my stomach and legs looked toned, and I know no-one's going to be commenting on my wobbly bits because I haven't got any now!'

The model, who came to national prominence during her part in the 2007 Celebrity Big Brother race row, says she is now keen to find herself a boyfriend.

Dani says: 'I’m happy, single and enjoying myself. I’m just going out and having fun with the girls.

'But it would be nice to find myself a decent guy who will treat me properly.'
