EXCLUSIVE: Jennifer Metcalfe celebrates incredible summer body in skimpy plunging swimsuit... as she reveals she's 'really happy' right now
The Hollyoaks beauty, who quite literally returned from the dead as Mercedes McQueen this year, has been unveiled as the new face of LighterLife Fast - and she's looking better than ever.
Jennifer, 31, recently took four months off from work and tells MailOnline that she's 'really happy' right now as she shares her secrets to perfect summer curves.

Speaking about learning to love her sensational shape, Jennifer said in an exclusive chat: 'As I've got older I've become more body confident.
'I've realised that 30 years on, none of the bits that I want gone are going anywhere so I've just got to deal with it and learn to love them more than I did before.
'It's your individuality that matters and as long as you feel comfortable in your own skin and you're the best that you can look then that will always shine through.'
The brunette has chosen the weight maintenance program - designed to work on a 5:2 scheme - to help her manage her hardworking, hard-partying lifestyle, which has sometimes lead her to fluctuate.

Confident: The beauty was photographed in a string of stunning swimwear
Her character in Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks was presumed dead when the stunning starlet decided to take some 'me' time and break away from her nine-year love affair with the program.
'My time off was about me,' she added. 'And just getting plenty of sleep, going back to the gym and getting my body back in shape.
'I didn't know where I was from one day to the next and LighterLife Fast just kickstarted that for me. It just kept me on track and eased me back into work.'

Although Jennifer wasn't completely focused on herself because things seem to be going pretty swimmingly with boyfriend of two years Greg Lake.
Resisting the temptation to open up about the romance, Jennifer simply concluded that she was 'really happy' right now.
Jennifer has evidently shrugged off a double blow that saw ex-boyfriend Sylvain Longchambon announce that he's both engaged to be married and expecting a child with Samia Ghadie, the soap actress who struck up a bond with Sylvain not long after he separated from Jen.

Nevertheless, the brunette looks far from wallowing as she smiles in the exquisite new Lighterlife photographs.
Showing off her impressive summer body in a string of revealing swimsuits, Jennifer explained: 'Being an actress brings a certain amount of pressure to always look good and to feel good.
'The reason I like using LighterLife Fast is because for two days a week you eat 600 calories but you get everything your body needs.
'You're not deprived and your energy levels are still up. To know my body is getting everything it needs, even to go to the gym, that makes me feel good.'
