Frankie looked confident as she wore a sequined two-piece despite recently opening up about having been reduced to tears at the sight of her 'saggy tummy'.

Cooling down: The Only Way is Essex star recently opened up about being unhappy with her 'saggy belly'

The 26-year-old told Now magazine last week: 'I guess I'm not confident about my belly and never have been.

'When I was asked to pose [for a shoot] lying down on the chair, I said, 'No, I can't' because my belly falls to one side when I do that.'

She added: 'I'm only 26 - in my eyes I'm still a young girl and I shouldn't look like that. I feel embarrassed.'

However those thoughts looked far from her mind as she cooled off in the pool with costar Chloe, who opted for a white bikini with brown trim.

Frankie's hair was styled into a high up do, while her dark square sunglasses kept her fringe out of her eyes.

Her brunette companion instead opted for a high ponytail which showed off her large, silver drop earrings.

However Frankie decided to add some sparkle in a different way, in the form of her sequined, leopard print bikini.

The blonde star is in the country to support Joey, 23, who has been flirting up a storm with Amy Willerton on the ITV1 show.

The Essex star was seen helping her cousin apply some suncream, before the mother-of-one later repaid the favour.

Despite rarely being seen without a pair of very high heels while on the ITV2 reality show, both stars opted for flat flip-flops as they strolled about their hotel.

With towels slung over their arms, the pair both carried large sizable beach bags before reclining on a sunbed.

Both Frankie and Chloe were seen checking their mobile phones, and despite being a long way from home, the former has posted a number of message on Twitter.

Frankie has also been blogging for Reveal magazine about her brother's jungle antics, which included eating a camel's toe on Monday night's show.

Speaking about Joey's latest head to head trail with Matthew Wright, she wrote: 'Joey was determined to do well after telling his campmates that our Dad always pushes to do his best – and he does – Dad is a very determined person.'

Adding: 'The other campmates were giggling while watching them [Amy giving Joey a neck massage] but I still don't think there's anything between them yet.'
