Zara McDermott flaunts her toned physique in a TINY blue bikini in throwback snap

She recently came under fire for flouting Tier 4 rules and jetting abroad for a trip to the Maldives. 

And Zara McDermott harked back to a holiday in which she didn’t break the rules as she shared stunning throwback snaps of her previous trip to Spain on Saturday. 

The Love Island star, 24, flaunted her figure in a tiny blue bikini while larking about on a beach in the sizzling Instagram snaps.

Zara appeared confident in the beach photos from last summer in which she showed off the results of her recent three stone weight loss.

The Stunner paired her blue two-piece with a pink bandanna worn over her flowing caramel locks. 

Captioning her trip down memory lane, Zara penned: ‘summer 20 archives.’

Zara has been working hard on her fitness regime, since returning from the Maldives with her boyfriend Sam Thompson, 28, amid London’s Tier 4 restrictions.

The TV personality has shared several snaps of herself in tight gym wear while promoting her new exercise line.

It comes after Zara was caught sharing an edited photo on Instagram earlier this month, in an attempt to hide the fact she’d jetted to the Maldives.

The reality star had blurred out a backdrop which clearly showed she was in the tropical location. Her attempt at pulling a fast one was revealed when fashion brand Missguided, who she was working with on the post, shared the unedited version.

In both images, Zara posed in an appropriately named Missguided sports bra as she posed in a gym while on her luxury holiday, but the windows had been blurred out.

In Missguided’s version of the same image, tropical leaves are visible in the background, giving away her true destination.

She wrote in the caption: ‘My edit with @missguided is HERE!!!! I hope you guys love it as much as I do! ❤️ So today we are dropping the first few styles, and over the next few days we will be adding lots and lots of extras to keep your eyes peeled to celebrate we are doing an amazing giveaway!’ 

It’s little wonder that Zara wanted to hide where she was after receiving backlash for her decision to travel to the Maldives, breaking Tier 4 regulations.

Zara and Sam were spotted flying out of London on December 27 – a week after rules came into place banning travel from Tier 4 areas on December 20. 

Before Zara’s latest post, fans had already accused the Made In Chelsea couple of disguising the fact they were abroad by altering timestamps and sharing pre-recorded content on social media. 

Zara has continued to share photos on her Instagram, marking her location as London, United Kingdom.   

Zara’s representatives insist she was working during the trip to the Maldives. The nature of her work is unknown.
