Christine McGuinness has said she's 'happy and free' as she was seen soaking up the sun during a work trip. The 35-year-old has jetted off away from the UK to a more exotic, undisclosed location to shoot some content for her new swimwear collection after launching her fashion brand, We Are H-E-R.
Earlier this week, she shared a snap of herself beaming on the plane alongside her two friends as they headed off to sunnier climes. "'Free' mammas on a little business trip together," Christine typed on her Instagram Story. She then teased: "@weare___her swimwear dropping very soon."
And taking to Instagram on Tuesday evening (May 2), the mum-of-three looked sensational as she showed off her bronzed tan in a barely-there bikini. Christine sported the hot pink number which boasted string straps around her shoulders and back with thong-style bottoms.

The swimwear choice showed off the model's incredible abs and toned pins as she posed for the camera while looking out over the crystal water under the clear blue skies. The video started with Christine having her back to the camera white a thin white shirt draped around her.
She then pulled on the crisp shirt as she turned and beamed for the camera, covering her eyes with a pair of dark shades and sporting nude-coloured sandals. "35 feeling so alive, happy and free just doing me," Christine typed alongside the post to her 710,000 followers.
Christine, who announced her split from TV star husband Paddy McGuinness last July, then shared: "It's never too late, start over, change your plans, reinvent yourself a many times as you need to. Make this next chapter for YOU!!!"
She also posted a number of images to her main Instagram grid as she was seen watching the sun go down. Christine posed in front of the sunset and looked glam in a black dress with her blonde locks tied up into a swish ponytail. "We all have two lives, the second starts when we realise we only have one," she typed alongside the post.
And fans were quick to respond as they praised Christine's new-found happiness. @downie_krissy said: "Beautiful Christine. Stronger than ever. You go girl." @andrewwilliams3055 commented: "Continue to shine and being a wonderful soul @mrscmcguinness."

It comes after Christine faced a disaster during the first day of her trip. The former Real Housewives of Cheshire star was seen in a video with wet hair and just wrapped up in a white towel. "Fancy a swim anyone?" she typed alongside the post. "Why though!!! Send help, a mop, a rubber dinghy, a boat, anything. I just need something," she added with crying and crying laughing emojis.
Speaking to the camera as she moved around, she revealed how her room had been flooded with water after she had a shower. "It's day one and I've already had a what the f*** moment, this just happens in my life far too often. Look!" she declared in the clip. "I must have taken longer than 21 seconds in the shower. The whole room. Oh my god".
She then returned to the steamed-up mirror and amid the blurry image, she could be seen with her hand on her head as she wondered what to do. "I don't know what to do," she said. A second clip showed Christine kicking her feet through the inch-deep water.
"Nah, this is a joke," she could be heard saying. "That's a lot of water. I actually don't know what to do." But as she showed off her bronzed legs in the process, she laughed: "My tan looks good though." She typed over the video: "Room with [a] water feature."
