Imogen Thomas shares snaps from her sun-soaked holiday in Cannes

Imogen Thomas has shared an insight into her Cannes getaway as she jetted off to the French Riviera for her summer holiday this week.

The former Big Brother star, 41, posted a series of photos to her Instagram page on Tuesday, after opening up about her mum Janet's health condition.

In one snap, Imogen slipped into a string bikini as she showed off her figure in a mirror selfie, while wearing a pair of circular shades.

The social media personality also shared one of her evening looks, which was a cut-out black dress accessorised with a belly chain.

She wore her brunette locks in soft waves and opted for a glamorous coat of make-up, while boosting her petite frame with stilettos.

The trip comes weeks after Imogen confessed she cries herself to sleep worrying about Janet, 64, more than a year after her motor neurone disease diagnosis.

She said that the diagnosis had been a 'huge gamechanger' and explained she is now focusing on caring for her.

The model revealed the diagnosis six months ago via a heartbreaking Instagram post and has been updating her followers on the reality of caring for someone with MND ever since.

But, while she's tried to remain positive, the Welsh beauty admitted that it has taken a toll on her and her family eight years after the death of her father.

But she added that her focus right now is on 'making memories' as a family.

Imogen and her sister have been caring for her mother for more than a year following her MND diagnosis but revealed that it has been difficult for her.

She said: 'When you have someone so close to you diagnosed with MND it's a massive game-changer.

'It's a really awful inhumane disease and we know what's to come which is painful every day.

'It's heartbreaking and I feel robbed. I've already lost my Dad but then for her to be diagnosed with a terminal illness, that's just it.

'It's a big life change. I don't want to sit here and moan about it. They're your parents and you love them so you just get on with it but it has been a challenge.' she said.

The model also admitted that she feels jealous sometimes watching able bodied families but then immediately feels guilty.

She said: 'There are days where I cry myself to sleep because I fell robbed. I see mothers and daughters going shopping and feel jealous but should I?

'I always feel so guilty for saying that.

'We do still go shopping, my mum comes in her chair but it's not quite the same'

The brunette beauty is now focusing on making her mother comfortable and is trying to travel as much as possible.

Imogen said: 'We don't want to stop making memories and as time goes on you don't know when it'll stop and you won't be able to make any more '

But the mother-of-two explained that travelling with a disability is extremely difficult.

She said that the family 'always dread the plane' and described one instance where staff left her and her mother Janet sat in the cabin for 45 minutes after all the other passengers had disembarked.

She said: 'They just forgot about us. And it was difficult keeping her spirits high.

'Getting onto the plane is hard as well. Because my mum has lost feeling and control in her left side she needs a lot of help and if we're last on then people are just staring, watching us sit down and my mum hates it - she's in tears.

'And it doesn't matter how hard I try and I call the airlines, it doesn't make a difference.
