Esther Anderson recently revealed the secrets behind her age-defying figure, a year after giving birth to her first child

Esther Anderson (former Home Away Star) showed off her incredible physique as she hit the beach in Malibu on Sunday.

The 40-year-old put on an eye-popping display in a low-cut bikini top and a pair of stripped briefs.

Speaking about her diet and exercise regime earlier this year, Esther said having a little one to run around after pregnancy definitely helps, but it is eating well and regularly exercising her core that keeps her in perfect shape.

Speaking to New Idea, Esther admitted she initially had concerns about how her pregnancy would impact on her figure.

'I did tell my agent I wasn't going to do any more lingerie or swimwear shoots, because I didn't think my skin would be firm again,' she confessed.

Esther fell pregnant with son Forest, 12 months, in her late 30s, but appeared to snap back into shape in the months that followed her giving birth.

'Once I started doing a bit more core work for my back and stomach and started really focusing on eating well again, it was fine,' she said.

Sharing an insight into her daily diet, Esther revealed she feasts on muesli and berries for breakfast and opts for sardines on gluten-free toast for lunch.

For dinner she allows herself to indulge a little more, especially as her penchant for fitness allows her to do so.
