Gemma Collins shows off incredible weight loss transformation as she hits the beach - after revealing Mounjaro helped her lose two stone
The TOWIE icon, 43, enjoyed the British heatwave as she hit the beach with her pal Lucas Marmitage.
Gemma displayed her very sunburnt chest as she sipped on a refreshing drink and relaxed in the sun.
The reality star - who has lost two stone on weight loss jab Mounjaro - displayed her new look in a thin-strapped ensemble.
Gemma revealed in January that she'd been taking the NHS approved Mounjaro injections and has left fans stunned with her sensational transformation.
Earlier this week, Gemma posed up a storm in a white bandeau swimsuit as she posed with a hand on her hip for the stunning snap.
She soaked up the sunshine and joked that she was on 'do not disturb' and 'unavailable' as she enjoyed her holiday.
Gemma posed against a gorgeous holiday backdrop of the sea and palm trees at what looks like a beach club.
However, it comes just after Gemma was left horrified after discovering one unlikely side effect of the weight loss jabs.
Gemma has been left concerned that her weight loss has left her 'looking older' as she shared a candid Instagram post this week pointing out her 'next level' crow's feet.
She said: 'I really don't know what's happened to me, I really don't, It's just come on me overnight. But it has been a year since I've had any little tweakments.'
'I don't know if it's since I've been losing weight. I sure haven't got "Ozempic face" yet, but it would be the dream right now,'
'I've always had a fuller face, as you know. I do like expression around my eyes. I want to look natural still. But this just isn't right. What has happened? I am 44 but this is taking it to levels that I never, ever imagined it'd get to.'
'Ozempic face' is a used to describe noticeable facial changes, such as sagging skin and a gaunt appearance, that can occur after rapid weight loss, often associated with the use of medications like Ozempic.

The reality legend says her life has been transformed since taking the NHS-approved jab
Meanwhile a source told The Mirror that while Gemma was poking fun at the situation she was in reality very concerned.
'She's eating really healthily and has broken some of the bad habits with food, It was a bit of a shock to her to really see the effect the weight loss has had on her face'.
'She doesn't want to suddenly look older than she is, which is why she's sorting it and being honest about it. Gemma's always been really open and honest about her relationship with her body and she's been through some really horrible times with it, but that's all in her past now.'
Before adding: 'The wrinkle tweakments are all part of her wanting to feel and look good. She knows there's no point losing all the weight and just being unhappy, so she'll happily make little changes to keep herself feeling her best'.
MailOnline have contacted Gemma's reps for comment.
Last month Gemma revealed her dramatic two stone weight loss in a figure-hugging black gym wear set in an Instagram video.
After dropping two dress sizes, Gemma proudly admitted she 'feels like a million dollars' as she confidently showed off her figure.
She told fans: 'I just love wearing my compression garments, they make you feel super snatched.
'And they're just super comfy, breathable. I feel a million dollars in them, you can dress them up or dress them down.'
Gemma has long struggled with her weight and previously admitted she thought she would die after a gastric bypass surgery that left her in deep pain.
The reality legend says her life has been transformed since taking the NHS-approved jab.
Speaking to The Sun last month, she said: 'I can't believe I've finally found something that works. I've lost nearly two stone already and it's been completely effortless - I don't even want to eat anymore!'
'I got on the scales and lost something like 6kg in my first week. I bet my house by May, I'll have six stone off. And it's been effortless.'
Gemma, who at her heaviest weighed 23st and was a size 26, said her goal is to get down to a size 16 by summer. She is currently a size 20.
The reality star has long wanted to start a family with her fiancé Rami Hawash and believes she will 'give birth to twins' next year after losing more weight.
But Gemma's weight loss journey was a difficult one before she found Mounjaro, admitting she would even taken appetite suppressant Reductil as a teenager, which has since been taken off the market.
Gemma admitted she would feel 'suicidal' when she was on diets and has been weighing for food portions and eating boiled eggs everyday for years.
The star previously had a secret operation to have a gastric balloon fitted but was left feeling so ill after she thought she might die.
She said: 'It was scary. I should never have done it... I thought I was going to die. I could not get out of bed. The pain in my stomach... because it was like a foreign body in my belly.'

Patrick Kielty 'to be in very dark place' if new Cat Deeley fear unravels
Those close to Patrick Kielty have shared their concern following his split with This Morning presenter Cat Deeley, whom the comedian married in Rome in September 2012 Patrick Kielty will be "in a very dark place" if Cat Deeley returns to the US with their children, insiders say. The couple announced this week they have separated following a 13-year marriage, a bombshell which has reportedly led to huge concern for both parties. Residents in Dundrum, County Down - Patrick's hometown - shared their worry for the 54-year-old star, who married Cat in Rome in September 2012. Some who know Patrick, who has two children with Cat, fear the presenter would be devastated if his ex goes back to the US, where the couple used to live. One insider said: "Everyone is worried about Paddy. The fear is that Cat will go back to America with the little ones. That will leave him in a very dark place." This comes as it has emerged other showbiz couple Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones split after he joined a notorious dating app on a lads' holiday. Cat began presenting ITV's This Morning last year alongside Ben Shephard, following the departures of Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby. However, since she and Patrick confirmed their split, it emerged 48-year-old Cat found the return to the UK difficult. And so concern has grown Cat, who started her career hosting SMTV Live on Saturday mornings, could quite her ITV job and pack her bags for the US once more. Television insiders told Mail Online: "Cat's time on This Morning has not been a failure, but it has hardly been a roaring success. "It is a job which puts her under so much scrutiny, day-in and day-out, and unlike most British presenters she has plenty more lucrative options to choose from in the States... There is concern that all of this family drama could lead her to walk away." Cat and Patrick, a comedian and TV host, had lived in Los Angeles for more than 14 years, where Cat presented the reality TV show, So You Think You Can Dance. They returned and Cat swiftly started on This Morning, which is understood to be one of several ITV daytime shows subject to budget cuts. The broadcaster recently announced plans for a shake-up, which includes cutting Lorraine by 30 minutes and dropping it altogether during school holidays from January. It is believed This Morning is set to move from its base in White City, west London, to a smaller, cheaper studio in the centre of the capital. And Cat, originally from West Bromwich, West Midlands, has also been open about her struggles to adapt to the 5am starts for the four days a week she presents This Morning, and has revealed that it led her and Patrick to sleep in separate beds most nights.

The pair have been joined by Kate's 22-year-old model daughter Lila. It came after Kate posed in just stockings and a bra for a steamy Saint Laurent ad. Kate has been modelling since she was 14, and she is proving she's still at the top of her game. Recently Kate's wellness brand Cosmoss went bust with debts topping £2.9million. Later in July she was seen partying among revellers at BST Hyde Park Festival. Meanwhile Kate's daughter Lila has been promoting the new Diabetes Type 1 Barbie doll. Like Lila, her doll has a glucose monitor arm patch, an insulin pump on her leg and a bag for emergency snacks. Lila, 22, said: 'Receiving messages from people who see my patches and feel represented by me means everything to me. 'To see a Barbie that looks like me — even wearing the patches, is surreal and special.'
