Gemma Collins shows off her slimmer frame in throwback swimwear snap

GEMMA Collins has celebrated her new svelte figure in a cute vintage black bathing.

The reality star posted the photo on Instagram wearing the chic number and looking down at the ground while giving a peace sign.

Gemma, 39, rocked her trademark oversized glasses and tall pair of wedges in the stunning pic.

She simply captioned the pic with a peace finger symbol and sun emojis.

The former TOWIE star has been delighting fans this week with her slimmed down look and new shorter shorter hairdo.

On Friday the star looked radiant in a flowery summer dress and a baby blue headband.

Gemma, 39, captioned her picture: "MOOD LIFTED GUYS! Thought I'd get myself into something summery for the long weekend ahead".

Last year, Gemma revealed she'd gradually lost over three stone and aimed to lose a further three to bring her down to a size 16.

She put the weight loss down to beginning training for Dancing on Ice combined with a healthier diet.

The TOWIE star told The Sun Online exclusively: "I'd be really happy if I lost six stone as that would bring me down to 12 stone and a size 16."

But she said losing weight isn't about trying to become more body confident.

She said: "I've always been beautiful no matter what size I have been. When I look in the mirror naked, I think I look like a sexy mama.

I've always been confident in the bedroom. I love every inch in my body.

"In fact, I have so much self esteem, if I could bottle it and sell it, I would be a billionaire overnight."

Earlier this week she got into hot water for breaking lockdown rules to visit her boyfriend James Argent.

But the bubbly blonde looked summer ready as she posed in the red and white dress.

She teamed the slimming outfit with strappy sandals and sunglasses to shield her eyes from the sunshine, letting her followers know the dress was available to buy from her online boutique.

The TOWIE star has been using this time to promote her clothing range and later posted another snap of herself - this time in a rose patterned wrap around dress.

At the weekend a source told MailOnline that the reality TV star was seen leaving Arg's house after she travelled 40 minutes to see him.The couple have been living apart for the last seven weeks as Gemma filmed her ITVBe show Diva on Lockdown from home.

But she was spotted leaving at Arg's house on Saturday and again the next day.

An insider said: "Gemma parked her car down the street and in someone else's driveway to prevent people from seeing her but she still didn't go unnoticed.
