Shameless star Tina Malone beams as she shows off 12st weight loss in bikini while playing with daughter on holiday
SHAMELESS star Tina Malone beamed as she showed off her 12 stone weight loss in a bikini while playing with her daughter on holiday.
The 60-year-old is currently making the most of the school holidays by jetting away to Spain with daughter Flame, nine.
Tina and Flame have been pictured enjoying the beach, with Tina showing off her incredible weight loss in an array of colourful swimwear.
In the latest snaps, the actress wore a yellow bikini with lime green polka dots all over it, and teamed it with a matching wrap around her waist.
In a cute move, Flame wore a similar colour bikini top as her mum with a pair of pink shorts as they headed for another day of fun in the sun.
The pair beamed as they played on some swings, holding hands at one point as they swung back and forth.
Tina kept her blonde hair back off her face with a pair of stylish sunglasses on her head.
Later, Tina – who played Mimi Maguire in Shameless – sat at the waters edge on the beach, letting the waves wash over her.
Back in 2010, Tina had a gastric band fitted, and it saw her drop from a size 28 to a size six.
It meant she needed further surgery to remove the excess skin left by her extreme weight loss, but it hasn’t stopped her from encouraging other people considering the process to go for it.
Speaking on This Morning, she said: “My advice is, if you can pay for acrylics and cigarettes, save up for a gastric band.
“Save your life. It has changed me as a person. I am less angry.”
Last year, Tina had a facelift because she feared she looked “miserable”.
She told Closer magazine that she loved the result and that she felt “healthier, sexier and prettier than ever.”
