EastEnders star Louisa Lytton has revealed her post-pregnancy body in a bikini less than six months after giving birth while enjoying her first holiday abroad with her baby.
The actor, 33, - best known for playing Ruby Allen on the BBC soap - and her fiancé Ben Bhanvra welcomed their daughter, Aura Bhanvra, now five months old, last August.
She has posted photos of her baby on social media in the months since her birth - which involved a three-day labour - with Louisa referring to Aura as her "bff" just weeks ago.
And with the couple having recently taken their first holiday abroad as a family, she's now shared photos from their trip with her 260,000 followers on Instagram.
This included showing off her toned physique, just months after the pregnancy, with her photographed in a two-piece set whilst stood on a beach.
And in another post she admitted to fans that whilst it was different having a vacation with a baby, it was giving her "more precious time" with her daughter and partner.
Alongside a photo of herself with Aura, seen wrapped in a towel on her knee, Louisa wrote: "I've realised why being on holiday with a baby actually feels a bit easier than being at home."

"No housework. No chores. No cooking. No washing. No changing the beds. Meaning more precious time to just sit and play or chat, more cuddles. Was very nervous being coming away but feel very fortunate that we could."
She said that people sometimes scare first-time parents that it will "never be the same" and that you "can't relax" - with her stating that whilst you can't relax, it's still enjoyable.
The Strictly Come Dancing alum further wrote in the caption: "It becomes a new form of holiday enjoyment, one big sensory overload. And bed for [Ben] and I by 9pm."
And when a follower said holidays are "lovely until [kids] are on the move," Louisa responded: "Maybe that's why this holiday doesn't feel too stressful. I didn't think of that."
