Lucy showed off her enviable figure

Lucy Mecklenburgh might be missing the sun - but that's no reason not to strip off to a bikini back here in the UK.

The former TOWIE beauty has spent the last few weeks building up a glowing and

very enviable tan, and she showed it off for the world to see today in a surprise Twitter post.

Stood posing in the mirror, the brunette shows off her washboard abs and tiny waist in the skimpy two-piece.

She captioned the photo: "Get me back in the sun."

Missing the sun Lucy?

She's certainly not let her recent split from Louis Smith get her down.
