Jennifer Metcalfe flaunts her amazing figure in a bikini

Jennifer Metcalfe sent pulses racing as she showed off her incredible figure in an Instagram post on Friday.

The actress, 40, looked incredible as she posed in a skimpy yellow string bikini for a mirror selfie during a sun-soaked getaway,

Her tiny two-piece featured a triangular top and daringly high cut bottoms which showcased her toned and sun-kissed physique.

Jennifer - who plays Mercedes McQueen on the Channel 4 soap - completed her look with a straw tote bag, gold jewellery, and a pair of sunglasses that featured a long gold chain.

She captioned the post with a simple sun emoji and tagged '@gooseberry.seaside'.

Her celebrity pals flooded the comments to gush over the star, including former Love Island star Gabby Allen who wrote: 'Hot stuff.'

While Coronation Street star Kimberly Hart-Simpson added three fire emojis.

Stephanie Davis penned: 'Unreal.'

Lauren Mcqueen said: 'Amazing!!'

It comes after Jennifer revealed she suffered a terrifying health scare after finding a lump in her breast.

The mum-of-one told her fans on social media that she quickly contacted doctors for an examination but reassured her followers that after having the lump checked out that it's 'nothing to worry about.'

Posting a snap at the medical centre where she sought treatment, Jennifer wrote: 'Found a lump in my boob and @pallmallmedical made sure I was seen to so quickly...all the staff are so lovely.

'Turns out nothing to worry about but if u [sic] need a fast discreet [sic] appointment I would highly recommend them.'

The health scare comes as the Hollyoaks team get ready to cut the amount of episodes aired during the week.

In April it was announced there was to be up to 20 stars axed from the show as it becomes the latest soap to be hit by stringent budget cuts.

However, Jennifer who has been on the soap since 2006, remains in her role and is now the longest-running star on Hollyoaks.

With the changes came the sad news that jobs would be cut, with cast and crew axed. A number of fan favourites have left the soap with Stephanie Waring, Ross Adams and Emma Rigby being some of the big names set to leave the show.

Other departures have seen Owen Warner, Jamelia and Theo Graham all leave in recent months.

The soap has planned a dramatic time jump a year into the future to apparently explain some of the exits, after reports up to 20 characters would be leaving the village.

It was revealed in May that Hollyoaks had become the latest soap to be hit by stringent budget cuts, with show bosses planning to reduce the workforce by 40 per cent.
