Susannah Constantine, 60, stuns in swimsuit as she poses for mirror selfie

Susannah Constantine stunned as she posed in a swimsuit that she finds perfect for "chilly UK waters".

The fashion guru and reality TV star, 60, took to social media to show off the swimwear in a gorgeous makeup-free snap.

She admitted the look is "not ideal for cracking a tan" as she posed with her blonde tresses in a messy bun.

Susannah wrote: "Sooooo. Here is the stretchy solution (not sodding neoprene) to hide chest wrinkles and crepey arms. Not rocket science.

"And not ideal for cracking a tan. But great for chilly UK waters and my bird bath barrel in the garden."

Susannah shot to fame on What Not To Wear alongside co-host Trinny Woodall and then took part in both I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2015, and Strictly Come Dancing in 2018.

Yet last year, the fashion advisor admitted starring on reality TV shows had negatively impacted her well-being, leaving her suffering from PTSD.

Susannah admitted her reason for joining I’m A Celeb was for the money, and that she had been paid more than any of her fellow campmates during the series she featured in. She was the first to be eliminated.

However, speaking about her Strictly experience, Susannah admitted that she still kicks herself for not training hard enough.

She told SheerLuxe: "I remember expecting to be a world-class dancer on two or three hours of training a day.

"I remember on the second day of training I came home and I said to my husband, ‘You know what? I've found something I'm really good at and I think we could win this.’ I mean, how deluded was I?

“I still have PTSD from it – the traumas of I'm A Celebrity pale in comparison to Strictly! You can be absolutely murdered for your lack of talent on that show.”

Like her time in the jungle, Susanna was the first celebrity to be eliminated from the dancing show after scoring the lowest Samba and Foxtrot in the show's history, with dancer Anton Du Beke.

She went on to describe the experience as horrendous, but that taking part in Strictly Come Dancing was a real privilege due to the friends she made on the series.

Susannah also admitted she no longer watches I’m A Celebrity after her experiences on the show.

Despite finding fame with Trinny Woodall for their straight-talking advice, in 2007 they were ripped apart by a catastrophic response to their ITV show Undress the Nation.

The programme came under fire because of the amount of nudity it featured before 9pm. And the backlash was so fierce that it drove Trinny and Susannah to 'divorce', leaving both distraught.

"That show was the death of our career because it was crass and not done with the empathy that had made us successful," Susannah admitted.

"We won't work together again, but we speak all the time. We're opposites in every way but we have an incredible bond."
