Her shapely figure comes less than a year after she admitted undergoing a £2,000 vaser liposuction procedure to remove excess fat from her upper thigh and bottom area.

Following the procedure, Jennifer dropped from a dress size of 10 to 12 around her hips to a size six to eight.

And, speaking recently, the 27-year-old insisted she is proud of her decision to undergo the procedure, and is now happy with her curves.

She said: ’I think surgery is a really personal decision that only you can make.

Along for the ride, Metcalfe’s French ice skater boyfriend Sylvain Longchambon joined the actress on location

’If there’s something on your body you really don’t like, it doesn’t matter if your mother doesn’t see it or your boyfriend doesn’t see it - it’s what you feel comfortable with.’

Meanwhile, joining Metcalfe in Ibiza was her Dancing On Ice partner boyfriend Sylvain Longchambon, 30, the couple lay side-by-side on the warm sand.

And despite the sunny weather when the photos were taken, Metcalfe complained the weather had been unusually bad for a majority of her stay on the island.
