Frankie Essex shows her six-pack in a low-cut bottoms bikini

The TOWIE star took to Instagram to flaunt the jaw-dropping results of her two-stone weight loss in a tiny pink bikini using good old before and after split.

Frankie's low-cut bottoms showed the makings of a six-pack, while her arms and legs looked leaner than ever.

"Eat clean and train dirty," she captioned the pic, which was quickly inundated with compliments.

"Holy crap you look amazing! Well done girl," one user gushed, while another chimed in: "Such an inspiration".

"Don't know how you got rid of that excess skin but I'm waaay jealous. Major body goals," a third added.

Frankie launched her own workout DVD last month, focusing on high intensity training (HIT) sessions of 20 minutes each.

But the journey to her new svelte physique hasn't been without its obstacles.

Frankie previously explained that she was barely motivated to get up in the morning – let alone hit the gym – just a year ago.

“This time last year I didn’t want to wake up the next day, I couldn’t get out of bed,” she said.

“I was in a hole, drinking and going out. I was burying my head in the sand, I was really in a bad way, overweight and in a bad relationship that I wanted to get out of,” she continued to Sun Online.

Frankie lost her mum to suicide at the age of 13 and revealed that alcohol tended to make her brood on the most difficult times of her life.

“Drink for me is a depressant and if I had a drink I’d wake up on my own and not know what to do with myself, so I’d just sit in everyday, eat and just think about the bad times and the s*** times and feel sorry for myself,” she added.
