This time last year Jasmin Walia entered the Miss Bikini Marbs competition with her friend Abi Clarke – but only scraped in at sixth place.

But this year it looks like the former TOWIE babe has her sights set on first place as she shows off her impressively toned and taut body around the pool.

The 23-year-old was snapped soaking up the sun in Dubai with friends, showing off her hot body in true Essex style, wearing four inch wedge heeled shoes around the pool side last week.

What a body: Jasmin Walia showed off her incredible body on holiday in Dubai last week

Jamin lengthened her already long legs with the sky-high heels – giving everyone in the hotel complex the best view of her toned pins.

Topping up her tan seems to be a serious job for the brunette beauty and she was carrying a bottle of sun oil in her hand as she walked.

Wearing floral bottoms with a delicate frill, Jasmin paired it with a matching blue ruched top – which turned into a halterneck with string-like straps.

For the full ‘OMG’ factor, the young star threw on a pair of Hollywood-esque black sunglasses and strutted her stuff to the edge of the pool.

Kicking off her heels she dipped her toes into the pool to cool off – temperatures are reaching a scorching 40C in Dubai this week.

And from dipping in her toes she clearly got a taste for the cool water as she quickly dunked her whole body into the pool.

A little cooler she decided to bask in the glorious sunshine half-in and half-out of the sky blue water, tanning her face and warming her back.

But it wasn’t long before Jasmin got itchy feet again – and with the threat of possibly getting her hair wet, the pretty brunette pranced back to her sun lounger oozing confidence.

Lying on the lounger upside-down to begin with, Jasmin’s hair tumbled down to the ground as she lay flat to catch the sun at the best angle.

After a quick re-spray of her golden oil, the babe rolled back up to the top of her lounger and took in the full view of the pool side.

Although Jasmin appeared to be alone on her sun-loving holiday it seems love might be in the air for the pretty star.

Famed for her flirtations with TOWIE stars Dan Osbourne and Charlie Sims, Jasmin’s cast her net wider to a new reality TV show – Ex On The Beach.

Jasmin arrived at a London premiere with coiffured star Ross Worswick on her arm – prompting rumours of a relationship.

But the single lady looked perfectly happy to be bathing alone on her lounger, last week.
