STACEY Solomon has been praised for showing off her 'real body' as she looked incredible in a red Pamela Anderson-style bikini.
The Loose Women panellist,34, channelled her inner Baywatch goddess as she struck a series of poses in her new swimwear.
And it turns out the skimpy number was a present from hubby Joe Swash.
Stacey admitted the racy two-piece wouldn't have been her "usual choice" to hit the beach in, but she shared a body-positive message as she modelled the gift from her other half.
After sharing several snaps of her in the sea in the crimson bikini, she wrote: A moment on the grid for “my” Christmas present from Joe ???? cough from Joe to Joe. My new bikini. Pretty sure he bought this from a costume shop in a Baywatch packet"

She added: "But I actually like it. Not my usual choice of swim wear. But i can honestly say I’ve never felt so attended to since we got here. It’s working wonders with beach drinks. And this is an on-site as to what joe's camera roll looks like right now. He’s spent his day enjoying his present to me."
On a more serious note, she then revealed how she was embracing her body for exactly how it is after having five kids.
Stacey explained: "Anyway it is the 'Fk it' year so posting these because, Well because fk it why not. Happy Thursday Everyone. And just a little note to say… wear the bikini. Your body deserves to wear whatever you put it in. As long as it makes you happy who cares! Plus you might find yourself getting ALL the drinks down on the beach."
And fans soon flocked to the comments to shower her with compliments on her appearance, as well as praising her attitude.
"Babe," commented Vicky Pattison, alongside a heart-eyes emoji.
"Body goals! Hello," said one fan.
A second chipped in: "Your pickles are all lucky to have you as their mama; but in particular for your girls, your body positivity will help them so much as they grow up, in a world that makes you critique your body for even the slightest 'imperfection'. Keep showing them that “f**k it” is the best way to increase your happiness."
A third added: "You look bloody incredible Stacey. A body you should be proud of."
And a fourth weighed in: "Pamela Anderson, is that you?"

Earlier in the day, Stacey posted to her instagram stories and seemed more shy about wearing the bikini.
Messing about in the bathroom with Joe as they got ready, she covered herself with a towel and said: "All I'll say is he'll be lucky if this bikini hasn't be swallowed whole by the end of the day."
Joe joked back: "It cost me £15, she's got £5 up her bum."
