Roxanne Pallett may be away from our TV screens at the moment, but the actress showed she's still capable of turning heads as she holidays in Malta.
Enjoying a break on the sunny Mediterranean island, the former Emmerdale beauty, 27, topped up her tan in a purple bikini.
Soaking up the atmosphere at the Fortuna spa hotel, Pallett placed a flower in her hair as she cooled off in the swimming pool.
Pallett was enjoying a last-minute break in Malta before she embarked on the UK theatre tour of Fifties musical Rock Around The Clock.
The former Dancing On Ice star plays a lovelorn girl besotted with a teddy boy in the 16-date tour.
The production sees Pallett tackle the challenging song At Last, famously sang by Etta James.
After Rock Around The Clock, Pallett will join former Coronation Street star Nikki Sanderson and ex-Brookside actress Sue Jenkins in the autumn tour of The Vagina Monologues.
She will next be seen on the small screen in Casualty in July and will also be starring in horror film Lake Placid 3 later this year.
Pallett leaped to fame in 2005 playing man-eater Jo Stiles in Emmerdale.
But audiences watched the feisty character turned into a scared, battered wife as husband Andy Sugden turned violent on her after his release from prison.
Pallett ended up leaving the show when Jo made a run for it in December 2008.
