Lauren soaked up the sunshine on her getaway after she revealed she had plans to reverse her "abnormal" BBL.
The reality star showed off her curves in the plunging swimwear as she enjoyed a leisurely day by the pool.
One photo showed the Essex babe leaning over the edge of the pool to admire the stunning backdrop, as she put her bottom on display.
Lauren then posed for a string of glamorous snaps while taking a dip in the pool.
The TV personality was seen looking into the distance while shielding herself from the sun with a pair of oversized sunglasses.
She wore her brunette tresses in a messy bun and opted for minimal makeup.
Lauren posed with her hand on her hip, before laying down on the side of the pool to top up her tan.
Although she looked body confident, Lauren told The Sun just weeks ago that she regrets ever going under the surgeon's scalpel.
She admitted: 'I've ruined my looks with surgery - I hate my fake boobs and bum now.'
Lauren continued: 'I feel like my body looks abnormal - I don't need these massive boobs and massive bum.
'They make me look bigger than I am and I wish I'd never had them done in the first place. When I look at myself naked in the mirror, all I see is lumps and bumps everywhere.
'I'm 100% getting it all reversed. I don't want anything fake in my body. This look doesn't suit me anymore and I'm ready to go back to the old Lauren.'
BACK ON?
Lauren's break comes after Lauren and Charles were spotted at the airport heading on a family holiday.
The Towie legend split from Charles in 2022 after the devastating death of daughter Lorena.
For months, the pair have been fuelling rumours that they've rekindled their romance - and it looks like they're back on for good.
Lauren and Charles were snapped in the airport while heading on a family holiday, with their daughter Larose.
Meanwhile, Lauren and Charles first sent the rumour mill into overdrive when they took part in a TikTok together.
Joined by fellow Towi stars Junaid Ahmed and Joe Blackman, they all appeared on the platform for a live chat.
It was Lauren's first time doing a live video on the platform in over a year, and it had been even longer since she'd been seen publicly with Charles.
The Sun previously told how Lauren treated Charles to a luxury £250-a-night spa break after rekindling their romance.
A source told us: ' Lauren has whisked Charles away as a treat for his birthday.
"It's a stunning manor house in Stock, Chelmsford and it's a very romantic place.
"There's a pool, a fine dining restaurant, a gym and they even host weddings there.
"Lauren really wanted to spoil Charles and while there are people who aren't sure about her getting back together with him, she isn't focusing on what others think and she's just following her heart.'
The reality star previously reposted an Instagram story shared by Junaid Ahmed.
He captioned: 'Double dating," and tagged Joe, Lauren and Charles.
She and Charles spent the evening with Junaid and Joe at Indian restaurant Cinnamon in Epping.
Lauren was an original Towie cast member, featuring regularly from the show's 2010 launch until 2012.
After guest appearances in 2015 and 2016, she returned permanently from 2024 onwards.

Picasso or Goya: who created Spain's most important painting?

The Regency artist Sir Thomas Lawrence deemed Velázquez's Las Meninas to represent 'the true philosophy of the art' of painting. A spirited public debate about who created the most important Spanish painting, however, has pitted Goya against Picasso, contrasting two visions of the country. The debate started when Arturo Pérez-Reverte, the combative bestselling novelist, challenged the assertion made by Miguel Ángel Cajigal, an art critic, that Picasso's Guernica was Spain's most significant work. Cajigal, who made the declaration during a radio broadcast, supports the broadly-held consensus that Picasso's 1937 work, which depicts the bombing of the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish civil war, is the most internationally acclaimed owing to its status as the world's most powerful anti-war painting. But Perez-Reverte, a former war correspondent and creator of the swashbuckling Captain Alatriste series of novels, strongly disagreed, stating on social media that the claim 'had left me in shock'. He then posted an image of Goya's Duel with Cudgels, an 1820s work in which two men, up to their knees in mud, club each other. 'Picasso painted Guernica, but Goya painted our soul,' he wrote, prompting a long riposte from Cajigal and thousands of comments from the public, as well as media headlines about the ensuing public debate about national art. The novelist's characterisation of Duel with Cudgels echoes the description of it as 'symbolically embodying the irrationality of fratricidal violence' by Madrid's Prado Museum, where it is housed. The work has been judged as presaging the civil war of 1936 to 1939 and in recent years it has been used as an allegory for Spain's deeply polarised politics, which appears increasingly coarse and senseless. The museum interprets it as an allegory of Spain's internal conflict during the restoration under Ferdinand VII, a vivid portrayal of internal divisions. The mural paintings were among those that decorated the house known as Quinta del Sordo, where Goya lived and have come to be known as the Black Paintings, in part because of their sombre subject matter. X-rays have shown that the two fighters were not originally sunk into the ground up to their knees but stood on a grassy meadow. 'It's Spanish to the hilt,' stated Pérez-Reverte. Some Spaniards agreed with him and many argued for works by Velázquez, Sorolla and El Greco. But others backed Cajigal, with one commenting: 'It's amazing for its technique, the symbolism of the figures and colour as well as for what it represents as a story. No one is going to deny that.' The art critic pointed out that the image of Guernica adorns the UN headquarters in New York and its pre-eminent importance is underscored by numerous prestigious scholars. 'I have been teaching Spanish art classes to students from the United States for almost 20 years,' he said. 'The only painting they always know is Guernica. And then, Goya and El Greco.' Picasso's masterpiece, inspired by the devastating 1937 air raid by Nazi Germany's Condor Legion on Guernica at the behest of General Franco, was first shown at the world fair in Paris the same year. Picasso had been commissioned by the Republican government to produce a work to boost awareness of the war and raise funds. • Guernica to be declared first 'place of memory' under Spanish Civil War legislation When the Second World War broke out he decided that the painting should remain in New York for safekeeping. In 1958 he extended the loan for an indefinite period, until such time as democracy had been restored in Spain. It arrived home in 1981. The debate about which painting best defines Spain has divided broadly into those that view Guernica as the painting of a modern democratic Spain that once lived under dictatorship, and those that deem Goya's work to be no less tragic, a self‑portrait of country mired in its own history. A social media user commented: 'Guernica speaks to the world; but Goya shows what Spain inflicts on itself.'

National treasure Joanna Lumley, 79, is still raking in an astronomical figure each week as she joins the cast of Netflix's horror comedy-drama

National treasure Joanna Lumley is still raking in around £10,000-a-week aged 79. The hugely popular TV and film star has just snagged a role in the second series of Netflix 's horror comedy-drama Wednesday. The star, best known for her outrageous portrayal of Patsy Stone in the 90s sitcom Absolutely Fabulous alongside Jennifer Saunders, has since been involved in a variety of major projects. The former model, author and activist has featured in a number of successful films such as Paddington 2 and The Wolf of Wall Street, as well as popular UK series like Fool Me Once and Motherland, plus its spin-off Amandaland. And her hard-work is reflected in the books of her production firm Chrysolite Enterprises Ltd. Latest accounts show she earned £500,000 in 2024 in paid herself a £252,000 dividend. The firm also retains cash in its coffers of £686,000. Lumley will join the cast of the hit show as none other than Wednesday Addams' (played by Jenna Ortega) Grandma Hester Frump. She is described as Morticia Addams' (Catherine Zeta-Jones) 'formidable mother and the fabulously wealthy mogul behind Frump Mortuaries', one of the most successful companies in America. With this teaser in mind, it's speculated that Morticia will be clashing with her mother in the upcoming series. 'Hester is calculated in everything she does, from running her empire to managing her family's legacy,' say show makers. A first glimpse of Joanna's Wednesday transformation has been unveiled ahead of the second series launch, and she appears as striking as ever sporting a gothic fitted black gown and theatrical upswept hairstyle. She won't be the sole new addition when the new season kicks off, as Joanna will be accompanied by Thandiwe Newton portraying psychiatrist Dr Rachael Fairburn, Steve Buscemi as Principal Dort and Billie Piper taking on the role of music instructor Isadora Capri. Lady Gaga is also expected to feature in Wednesday as an educator named Rosaline Rotwood, though no preview shots of the superstar have emerged as of yet. It comes after Joanna insisted that she hasn't had a career but simply worked to earn enough money to 'keep herself alive'. Joanna has insisted that she hasn't had a career but simply worked to earn enough money to 'keep herself alive' (pictured with Jennifer Saunders in Absolutely Fabulous the movie) The star brushed aside the notion that her path to success as an actress was carefully planned, instead noting that she had no idea of her 'destiny' as she went from role to role. She was certain though that she just 'loved' to act and didn't enter this 'precarious profession' for the fame or 'stardom'. Speaking to the Radio Times about her vocation, Joanna explained: 'I've had no career – I was trying to earn money to keep myself alive. I've never had any idea of a destiny or where my career would go and I have never ever asked myself, "Will this damage my career?" I loved acting, so that was going to be my chosen thing. 'We actors just wanted to get to be better actors, and we wanted to work so we could pay the rent. We weren't longing for stardom. 'We're jobbing actors and we're no different, really, from painters and decorators. It's a precarious profession at the best of times and I've just done anything to keep my head above water.'
