The Only Way Is Essex star Lydia Bright shows off her incredible figure as she celebrates her 35th birthday on a Caribbean cruise

Lydia Bright showed off her incredible figure in skimpy swimwear on Sunday as she celebrated her 35th birthday on a Caribbean cruise.

The Only Way Is Essex star stunned in a chic pale blue co-ord and matching cropped jacket that accentuated her physique as she reclined with a glass of champagne. 

She layered her pearl-detailed ensemble over a white string bikini while travelling the Caribbean aboard a rented yacht. 

Lydia appeared to be in her element as she made the most of soaring winter temperatures during her current overseas break. 

The TV personality later slipped into a pink-and-black, low-cut maxi dress ahead of a night out. 

She was seen travelling around the islands with Ollie Lockwood and other pals.

During her trip, she can be seen taking long strolls along the beach and posing with friends for stylish pictures.

Alongside her post, she penned: 'So grateful for the world I somehow fell into nearly half a lifetime ago.

'Who would’ve thought that one opportunity I took as a teenager, the one I wasn’t sure about, would lead to moments like this.'

To mark her milestone birthday, she also added: 'Another year added, another chapter written. Each year brings more growth, more confidence, and a more profound sense of self, and I don’t take any of that for granted.

'Feeling grateful for every year that’s shaped me into who I am today and for experiences like this that remind me how lucky I am.'

Her lavish holiday comes just days after she revealed she had been stranded on an African island for days.

Lydia was joined on the trip by her four-year-old daughter, Loretta Rose; her mother, Debbie; her husband, Dave; influencer sister Romana; brother Freddie; and his partner, Lucy Burgess.

The reality star turned heads in one snap as she posed for a mirror selfie in a black bandeau Melissa Odabash swimsuit with multiple cut-outs on the bodice, showcasing her toned abs.

Lydia was also seen wearing the swimsuit as she drew pictures in the sand at the beach with her daughter, Loretta Rose.

In her post, Lydia revealed she had ended up stranded on the island due to flight cancellations and that their trip to Zanzibar was longer than expected.

In another snap Lydia was beaming as she posed in front of a treehouse villa wearing a chiffon leopard-print beach dress from Melissa Odabash.

'The best fake birthday a gal could ask for ☁️,' she wrote. 'This time next week I'll be turning 35. I'm due to be away on a work trip (assuming my airline doesn't cancel my flight again. Twice already, honestly, you couldn't make our airline luck this trip.)

'We were meant to be home at the start of the week, but when plans change, you make new memories. I didn't want my baby to know I'd be away for my birthday, so we faked it a little earlier.

'A barefoot day on my favourite beach in Zanzibar, followed by dinner at the iconic Rock Restaurant. Stranded on the island, but I can think of far worse places to be.'
