Toned: Rochelle Humes showed off her incredible bikini body in a stunning Instagram shot, while playfully poking fun at her posing ability on Thursday

But showing she is very much a relatable celebrity, Rochelle admitted the photo took several attempts to master and that she relied on a simple trick to look her best in the sunny snap taken by former JLS star Marvin.

She captioned the photo: ‘Obviously, I had NO idea this picture was being taken, it didn’t take 9 attempts and I wasn’t breathing in at all.

The star rocked slicked back locks and appeared to go make-up free for the snap, showing off her radiant complexion.

She was soon inundated with comments from fans praising her refreshing honesty with one writing: ‘Thank the Lord for your honesty @rochellehumes – many girls would see this, compare themselves to you and wonder why they can’t look just as amazing and natural as you (me included!!!) obviously as lovely inside as you are on the outside!

Another added: ‘Love your honesty, so refreshing in the celeb world! Serious goals.’

Another tropical snap saw the star join an ecstatic pal on the white sand beach while the photographer held up dress shaped watermelon pieces in front of them.

The TV presenter enjoys a festive break on the remote tropical island every year with husband Marvin, 32, and their children – Alaia-Mai, four, and nine-month-old Valentina.

The couple tied the knot back in 2012 and in a recent exclusive chat with MailOnline, Rochelle lovingly took cheeky jibes at Marvin as they spoke about rediscovering their excitement for the holiday season now that they have young children.

Rochelle admitted what her New Year goals were, she said: ‘I’m running the marathon so my New Year’s resolution is to do a bit more.

   ‘I want to make sure I run everyday. I’m doing three times a week at the moment but it needs to be everyday really.

‘I’m doing it for Teenage Cancer Trust so I’ve seen first-hand where the money goes and I’m really chuffed to be doing it for them but I just need to get my bum into gear really.’

Rochelle then cheekily told Marvin: ‘I can think of a few for you, you could try and be less annoying, don’t leave wet towels on the floor. Make the bed when you get out of it.’

Marvin responded: ‘I thought there was a magic bed making fairy’ to which Rochelle quipped back: ‘That magic bed making fairy happens to be your wife, so if you could make the bed when you get out of it.

‘I’ve got one more for you, when you’re finished the bottles in the shower, just put them in the bin! I could reel off a longer list if you have time.’
