Curvacious TV babe Amy Childs has never been one to shy away from attention - having appeared in reality shows TOWIE and Celebrity Big Brother.

So it's not surprising that she wouldn't mind being the center of attention even when relaxing on the beach.

The 22-year-old beautician turned heads as she strutted down the surf on holiday in Marbella, Spain, on Monday.

Turning 23 this week, the redhead is stringing out her celebrations following an exclusive party in London on Saturday.

She is now in the Spanish party town of Marbs just one week after her former TOWIE co-stars took over the summer destination.

But Amy proved she still has the ability to draw attention even without her army of fellow Essex babes.

Blinding sight: The 22-year-old former reality star drew a lot of attention as she stalked the shoreline in her two piece

Standing out in a neon green two piece the reality beauty dazzled as she went for a paddle down on the shoreline.

Accompanied by a friend, she splashed about as the waves rolled in and licked the sea edge.

She looked something like a bond girl as she presented herself in the sun with her hair free to be caught by the light sea air.

As a beautician and therefore keen to look after her skin, Amy made sure she carried a bottle of sun oil with her during her day out.

Wearing a discreet silver watch on her wrist, Amy also kept a close eye on how much time she spent under the sun's rays.

Amy was joined on her beach jaunt by an equally attractive friend who wore a slightly frilled black bikini.

The girls were clearly enjoying their time away from the UK as they soaked up the sun and later enjoyed a refreshing glass of champagne on the beach.

Hair up: She put her hair in a loose bun after applying her sun block

Slipping into a pair of wedges, Amy knocked back the bubbles with her friend as they giggled their way across the sand.

In an effort to cool down, Amy later took a quick outdoor shower.

Pulling her hair up into a high, loose bun, the buxom babe looked a little alarmed by the freezing water cascading from the shower-head.

She jumped onto her tip-toes as the icy liquid touched her back, letting out a laugh as she prepared to jump under.

The star had clearly been looking forward to her sunshine adventure, taking to Twitter on Tuesday to inform followers of her plans.

'Marbsssssss today ;) xxx' she announced in the early afternoon of Sunday, adding: 'Marbs here we come !!!'

Ice cold: The Essex babe struggled with the cold temperature of the water

On Saturday she threw a lavish early birthday party in London where family, friends and guests joined her for drinks and dancing at Cafe de Paris.

She wore a sophisticated gold dress for the occasion - with her actual birthday taking place on Friday.

A huge purple cake was a centerpiece for her celebration, which she took delight in cutting in front of her audience.
