THIS Morning star Alison Hammond has been spotted looking slimmer than ever as she stripped down to a swimsuit.
The TV presenter took to Instagram with the selfie – showing her letting her hair down on holiday as she looked out onto the ocean.
Alison, 47, posed in the leopard print swimwear, showed off her recent weight loss, as she took a dip in the pool.
“Give me that Vitamin D!” she captioned the post, which revealed the cut-out detailing at the top of the swimsuit as she posed.
She accessorised with dark sunglasses and gold earrings, pulling her hair back into a tight bun as she paddled.
A follow-up clip on her stories showed her swimming in the rooftop pool of the impressive hotel, on The Palm island.

Friends and fans headed to the comments to gush over Alison’s holiday look, calling her “beautiful” and “gorgeous”.
It comes after Alison opened up about coming to the realisation that she might die “a little bit sooner” because of her weight.
She has won a legion of fans since she first appeared on our screens, however, there are some that troll her on a daily basis about her size.
While Alison is planning to eat slightly healthier going forward to avoid getting knee pain, the star refuses to slim down for others.

She told The Mirror: “They do say television puts on a bit of weight though. Sometimes I look at myself and go, ‘Wow, I am a big girl’.
“But I like taking up a bit of space. I take a little bit of extra space in the world and I don’t think I’m hurting anyone.”
Alison shot to fame when she competed in the third series of then-Channel 4 reality show Big Brother in 2002, and she went on to land a job as a reporter on This Morning in 2003.
She now co-hosts the brunch-time show every Friday with Dermot O’Leary.
Throughout her career, Alison has always been open about her weight, but has still been required to build a thick skin against the comments she gets about her size.
She added: “None of us are getting out of this. We’re all going to die eventually. I might die a little bit sooner, but I’m going to live my life to the fullest.
“And if I do die sooner, I’m going to have a fantastic life. I’m going to have a wonderful life. I’m 47 now, I don’t know how long I’m going to go on for.”
Alison is constantly bemused why trolls feel the need to send her hateful messages about her figure.
“I get it all the time. I know I’m overweight,” she added.

But the TV presenter tries not to let the haters get her down, insisting she doesn’t like to “feel sorry” for herself.
“I think I’m really good at overcoming things. I’m an overcomer. It might be difficult, but I overcome it.
“I’m not going to dwell in that moment of self-pity, or feeling sorry for myself.”
