Luisa Zissman flaunts her incredible abs in a skimpy lilac bikini as she shows off her crocheting skills while sunbathing

Luisa Zissman made the most of her free time as she combined a sunbathing session with crocheting on Wednesday. 

Taking to Instagram to introduce her 'Crochet in a Bikini With Me' series, the former Apprentice star, 39, showed off her incredible abs in a lilac two piece. 

Adorned with gold shells, Luisa paired the swimwear with a pair of stylish shades as she sat down with her crocheting hook to create a gold bag. 

Taking a break midway through the creative process, she hopped into the pool for a dip before heading back to her sun lounger and finishing the accessory. 

Addressing fans she began: 'Guys, welcome to my bikini crochet series. Today, I'm going to crochet a gold leather bag.

'I'm actually following a pattern that I found on YouTube. It's super easy. I wouldn't consider myself a top crocheter, but if you're following a tutorial on YouTube literally even like a five-year-old could do it. I swear.'

She joked: 'Although I have tried to teach my kids and they're actually quite useless and it's really annoying.'

After an afternoon in the sun, Luisa had created a stunning metallic gold crochet bag, the perfect accessory to any summer outfit. 

Luisa's latest Instagram comes after she revealed her daughter Indigo had 'refused to go back to school' after she blasted her school play on her podcast.

The star publicly apologised to the school after finding out that her daughter and all of her teachers had seen her scathing comments.

Luisa recently came under fire for saying she planned to skip her daughter's school play because she has a 's*** part' and it's 'not worth her time'.

However, she revealed her remarks came back to bite her when her nine-year-old confronted her over the podcast and asked: 'Mummy did you say my play was s**t?.'

Sharing her horror, Luisa recalled the conversation on the latest episode of her podcast, LuAnna, saying: 'I want to issue a public apology. 

'I didn't want to go and watch Indigo's show but I think my rant was probably a bit aggressive, some might say, in its tone.

'Indigo went to me "mummy did you say that my play was s***?" and I said well darling it wasn't that good was it? You didn't have a main part.

'She said "well my friend's mummy saw a clip of you on Instagram and she showed my friend and my friend told me" and I said "well darling you know sometimes the reality of things is"...

Luisa then revealed that Indigo said she can't show her face there again, saying 'She said "I can't ever go back to that school now, it's good that we've got to go back to Dubai because I won't be able to go back to that school, because the teachers all watched that.

'Do you know what I don't want to take it away from the teachers, that clearly do work so hard at these things and it's not your fault that you're dealing with below par talent but yeah I just wanted to say sorry to the school. I was very stressed!'

The content creator recently gave her brutally honest opinion about attending the play to watch her little girl in her 'non-speaking ensemble role'.  

During an episode of her podcast with Anna Williamson, Luisa revealed she planned not to attend the performance of Mary Poppins because she was 'too busy'.

She said: 'I'm not f***ing going because she's got a s****y ensemble part, there's no air con in there, it's a non-speaking part and I'm not going.

'Because I have to work today and it's very much a stress doing everything I had to do today.

'I had a conference call from 8 until half 9 and then we have to record the pod and then I have more content to film and nanny Nat went and she went 'honestly, it's s**t.''
