Age-defying Emma Forbes showcases her svelte figure

She’s known for her age-defying looks and incredible figure.

And Emma Forbes, 52, was back to her figure-flaunting tricks as she slipped into a slinky swimsuit while soaking up some winter sun alongside her husband Graham Clempson in Barbados on Thursday. 

The youthful-looking TV presenter showcased her slender physique in a navy crochet-inspired one-piece with a scalloped edge that highlighted her lean legs.

The former Live and Kicking host’s choice of halterneck swimwear showcased a vibrant red fabric which offset her subtle bronzed skin.

Her beach attire featured a daring low-back which she flaunted as she stepped in and out of the idyllic waters.

Emma was sure to turn heads as she sported a bright blonde pixie crop that framed her face and highlighted her on-trend oversized shades.

The TV star continued to accessorise her stylish swimwear with a pair of simple diamond studded earrings and wrapped a matching necklace around her neck.

While she was sure to continue her sparkling display with a number of layered gold bangles around her wrist as she enjoyed a cooling dip in the idyllic sea with her husband.

Her sun-soaked display comes after she revealed she overhauled her lifestyle after seeing what she felt were unflattering bikini pap shots – even though she still looked incredible.

Talking to Loose Women in June, she said: ‘I had my children and never lost my baby weight. It’s fine when kids are aged two or three, but there’s a problem when they are 20. 

‘For me, I wanted to lose that weight. I didn’t recognise myself. You don’t look at that section of you. 

She continued: ‘Everyone made such a big deal about me turning 50 and were like are you gonna have a party? But I just wanted a change. You’re very vulnerable at 50.’

Emma is mother to Lily, 20 and Sam, 18, from her 30-year marriage to wealthy financier Graham, and says it was their leaving home which also prompted her to take action. 

She said: ‘I had empty nest syndrome and I didn’t want to be at home and eating. I just thought, have a lifestyle change.

‘I didn’t want surgery. I’d end up on Botched. I thought it’s time to get on top of health. So I gave up sugar and I walked. I hiked up mountains.’
