She's hardly shy and retiring, often opting to garner attention as much as possible.

And yesterday was no different as Imogen Thomas happily flaunted her bikini body in a London park for all to see.

The former Big Brother star wore a striking purple two-piece as she stretched herself out on the grass with her skin on full display.

Imogen, 29, lapped up the rays as she enjoyed an afternoon with a female friend.

Although her pal must have been camera shy as the photographers just happened to stumble across Imogen as she was missing from the pictures.

And Imogen happily posed as she realised she'd been spotted by the photographers as she flicked her brunette hair back sensually.

Thomas showed off her curves as she lay on a towel after getting excited about the warmer weather.

Imogen giggled as she stood up to open the Dom Perignon, before drinking out of the bottle when it dripped over the sides.

She was later seen sitting back down again well equipped for her afternoon of sunny relaxation.

The reality TV star had a hamper filled with grapes, carrots, Union Jack plates, and she even had a cake stand filled with cupcakes.

And she's not had enough of the rays yet as she's intending to head out yet again later on today while the weather lasts.

She added on Twitter this morning: 'Another gorge day! Gym then sun time ☀.'

But she'd clearly had a few too many glasses of champagne yesterday as she complained about having to exercise with a headache.

'Running with a sore head is no joke #oooooooffffffffff,' she complained.
