A few years Jennifer Love Hewitt was horrified by pictures of her looking big in bikini during a romantic holiday... and decided to do something about it.

Now, at 33, all her hard work and dedication has paid off as she can happily prance around in a bikini on the cover of Shape magazine, without a worry in the world.

The Client List star wears not one but two stunning bikinis in the March edition of Self, and gets in depth about the exercise and diet regimes that work for her.

Va Va VOOM: Jennifer Love Hewitt looks astonishing in this month's Shape magazine

When unflattering photos of her at the beach were posted online in late 2007, the Ghost Whisperer star went into overdrive in a bid to tone up.

'I wasn’t going to the gym or eating right when that unfortunate photo was taken,' she says. 'It was time to start working out and watching my diet more closely.'

Hewitt now says she owes her body to a yoga/dance combination called Buti, wearing ankle weights on set and keeping to a strict diet.
