Jennifer Metcalfe shows off her tanned figure in a Louis Vuitton velvet bikini

Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe showcased her incredible figure in a brown velvet Louis Vuitton bikini as she hit the beach in Spain on Monday. 

The actress, 39, who plays Mercedes McQueen on the Channel 4 soap, has been soaking up the sun after taking a break from filming to jet abroad. 

Jennifer put on a busty display in the triangle bikini top which was embossed with the signature motif from the brand. 

The tie-side bikini bottoms, meanwhile, highlighted her toned abs and long legs. 

Jennifer appeared to be making the most of her time away from the soap as she walked barefoot along the sand and took a dip in the sea.

Jennifer accentuated her bronzed tan with a glamorous make-up look and wore her brunette locks down. 

The actress accessorised her beach get-up with a gold chain necklace and aviator sunglasses. 

Jennifer arrived in Spain last week for a friend’s wedding. Last year, Jennifer said she is ‘totally single’ after breaking up with Oldham Athletic player Chris Eagles, 37.

Back in April, the soap star proved she is still the friendliest of exes with former Geordie Shore star Greg Lake, 38, as they took their son Daye, five, out for a meal. 

The couple announced they had split in August 2020 after eight years together. 

Revealing that she’d love to have more children, Jennifer told The Sun: ‘As long as my parts are still working, I wouldn’t rule it out at 50.

‘I’ve actually always been very keen on adoption and I’d do that as a single parent.’

Daye lives with Jennifer near Manchester, but sees his dad, who is based in Newcastle, every other weekend and during school holidays.

Speaking of her romantic relationship with Greg ending, the soap star insisted she never wants them to feel ‘split up,’ because of their son.

She explained: ‘There was no bad energy [at the end] and I don’t even like using the phrase ‘split up’. We’ll never be split, we’re a family and always will be.

‘I never want us to feel split, for Daye, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure of that. It was a case of: ‘This is us now and how do we make this gear change and not have Daye feel it?’.’

Jennifer confirmed on Instagram back in 2020 that the couple had secretly broken up a couple of months earlier.  

The soap star then went on to have a brief romance with footballer Chris but they split in 2021. 

The Sun reported that the soap star and her partner were enjoying a night out with friends in the Algarve when an argument broke out, leading Jennifer to jet home alone.

A source told The Sun at the time: ‘Jen and Chris haven’t had the easiest of romances and now it’s all off again. They’ve had a few rows recently and Jen has had enough.’
