She has spent lockdown at her home in Essex, penning songs for her upcoming album. 

But Megan McKenna was in holiday mode on Tuesday as she jetted off to Marbella for a sun-soaked break away with her sister Milly.

The former TOWIE star, 27, showcased her slender figure in a leopard-print bikini while she relaxed on a sun lounger at a luxury resort.

Megan’s ensemble highlighted her sun-kissed skin as she topped up her tan before enjoying a dip in the pool.

Her blonde locks were pulled back into a sleek bun and she wore a red-and-blue headband to keep her hair out of her face.

She shielded her eyes with a pair of chic shades and added a glittering touch to her look with a pair of gold hoop earrings. 

Before relaxing by the beach, Megan was seen wearing a black crop top and loose trousers for a stroll alongside her sister Milly.

Back in April, Megan, who won last year’s The X Factor: Celebrity took to her Instagram to share a new track, which features the lyrics to her song ‘This’ reworded with references to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. 

She performed the new track acapella style to her 2.4million followers in a video on her Instagram.

The lyrics to the song are: ‘All you need to do is be brave, please stay at home and make sure you’re safe. Protect the NHS and have faith… 

‘Whatever it is, don’t take the risk. And wash your hands we can beat this. Follow my lead and then you will see friends and family. Let’s be a team and fight Covid-19.’

This helped her land her place on CBB, when she famously clashed with EastEnders star John Partridge and was asked to spend the night in a separate room from the rest of the house afterwards.

The tantrums continued when she then bagged herself a stint on The Only Way Is Essex, famously locking horns with her then-boyfriend Pete Wicks.

Last year she appeared on X Factor: Celebrity to launch her career as a pop star and ended up winning the show. 

She has spent the months since working on her album, with Simon Cowell.
