Lydia Bright Shows Off her Tan and Enviable Bikini Body in Cambodia

She has been soaking up the sunshine since the end of December, and is now the proud owner of a deep golden tan. And Lydia Bright is now using every available opportunity to show off her bronzed glow – as well as her enviable bikini body. Former TOWIE star Lydia posted several shots of herself in a caramel-coloured bikini as she enjoyed the warm weather in Cambodia – the latest stop in her backpacking trip. Lydia Bright captioned the shots, which showed her from both the front and the back: ‘A little bit of paradise #LongBeach #Cambodia.’

The 22-year-old has been enjoying the sightseeing trip with her sister Georgia, and has made friends along the way. Speaking previously about her reasons for wanting to go on the trip, which has seen her swap the glamour of TOWIE for the basics of backpacking, Lydia Bright told BANG Showbiz: ‘It’s always been something I’ve wanted to do, but I started on TOWIE so young that I never had chance to.

‘Now is my time to get a taste for it. I’m going with my sister, we’ll have our backpacks on. We’re travelling to Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. We’re going to go work in orphanages, animal sanctuaries, party and have fun.’ Since starring on the hit reality TV show from 2010 to 2012, Lydia Bright has kept busy launching two successful businesses – she started up her own fashion label and becoming the co-owner of boutique Bella Sorella with her sister – but admitted last year that she needed some time to relax. She said:

‘I didn’t go on one holiday in 2013 and I just feel like now this has all been wrapped up after my design season. ‘My shop is always really quiet in January, as every retail outlet is, I’ve got no buying to do and media is usually a bit quiet so I thought, “I’m going travelling!” Lydia Bright also revealed that her New Year’s resolution is to act her age, adding: ‘I’m so grateful of how far I’ve come but I’m only 22 and sometimes I forget that, I’ve got two businesses, I’ve got so many responsibilities, a house, I grew up a lot quicker than most of my friends. ‘I think sometimes I do miss out on my youth. My New Year’s resolution this year is [to have fun].’
