Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe maintains her dignity in the notoriously difficult to wear 'monokini'

Looking good: Jennifer Metcalfe takes a refreshing shower in a figure-hugging cutaway swimsuit while holidaying in Marbella, Spain, with friends


It's the kind of swimsuit that only the seriously toned can pull off.

And yesterday Jennifer Metcalfe proved why her lithe figure is perfectly suited to the notoriously difficult to wear 'monokini' (just in case we forgot).

The Hollyoaks actress looked stunning in the black one-piece - which came complete with an unforgiving diagonal stripe down the middle.

The slanted band of material cuts tightly into the stomach, meaning a curvier woman would struggle to carry it off.

But 26-year-old Jennifer, who plays feisty Mercedes in the Channel 4 soap, had no problems looking good as she cooled off under the shower during a Bank Holiday break in Spain.


The brunette joined friends at the exclusive Puerto Banus resort in Marbella where she topped up her tan between dips in the pool.

Last year Cheryl Cole was pictured wearing a lime green, mirror-trimmed, cutaway monokini in the south of France. The Melissa Odabash design cost a staggering £450.

Just like Jennifer, the X Factor judge has the kind of body shape that suits such a design.

Last month Metcalfe missed out on the sexiest female award after being nominated in the category at the British Soap Awards.

Before being put up for the gong, she said in an interview: 'I see myself sat around in joggers with no make-up and spot cream on my face. So it’s a bit like, “am I really sexy?”’

But judging by her display this weekend, perhaps Jennifer shouldn't be so modest in her estimation of herself.
