Elizabeth Hurley, 55, poses in a leopard print bikini

She loves to share bikini pictures from incredible locations to promote her swimwear line. 

But Elizabeth Hurley’s holidays have been seriously hampered amid the coronavirus pandemic during the UK’s travel ban. 

She had clearly been thinking back to happier times on Instagram on Sunday when she shared a throwback snap of herself wearing a leopard print two piece. 

The 55-year-old could be seen coyly looking over her shoulder in the behind the scenes shot as a photographer captured her image nearby. 

She wrote: ‘Memories of happy, Covid free times, shooting bikinis on the beach.’ 

Earlier this month, Elizabeth looked incredible in a tiny blue bikini as she splashed and frolicked in the sea.   

She displayed her washboard abs in a pair of low-rise bottoms and highlighted her ample assets in the triangle top. 

The brunette beauty left her locks hanging loose over her shoulders and accessorised with large sunglasses. 

Elizabeth looked fondly on the memory as she remembered what life was like before the coronavirus pandemic and second national lockdown. 

She wrote: ‘Oh y-e-s, I vaguely recollect frolicking in the turquoise shallows’ before adding the hashtags ‘#distantmemory’ and ‘#preb****ycovid’. 

It comes after Elizabeth recently set pulses racing once again as she showcased her incredible figure in a coral bikini to her Instagram Story earlier this week. 

Posing next to a tree, Elizabeth looked incredible as she let her brunette locks fall loose down her shoulders. 

Showing off her pearly whites as she grinned at the camera, the model threw her hand in the air as she stood on a boardwalk.  

Adding to her look with a smokey eye, The Royals star posed in a bikini from her swimwear line, Elizabeth Hurley Beach.

It comes after Elizabeth compared her lockdown experience to an episode of The Waltons after she spent the period with family at her £6million mansion.

She spent 16 weeks holed up at the Herefordshire estate in a group of nine, including her elder sister Kate, son Damian, 18, mother Angela, 80, and vulnerable friends.  

Appearing on an episode of Lorraine, Liz told stand-in host Christine Lampard: ‘It was like The Waltons! We had nine of us, but I was the only one who left in 16 weeks to do a brief raid on the shops.’ 

Much-loved family drama The Waltons ran from 1971 to 1981 (with three subsequent movie spin-offs) and revolved around the tight-knit clan’s lives on a Virginia mountain during the Depression and the Second World War. 

The show was such an example for American family life at the time, that President George Bush once even said in a speech in 1992 that he wished to make families in the United States ‘more like the Waltons and less like the Simpsons’. 

Elizabeth revealed that her household took things back to basics for lockdown, much like The Waltons, explaining: ‘We all stayed safe and then we had to just get on, find a way to make it work.

‘There was manual labour, not allowed TV until 6PM. We were all outside – we had beautiful weather in the UK – sweeping up, clipping, attacking things with a chainsaw, making the outside beautiful, growing veg… 

‘We all got healthier. We ate quite a lot but there was the manual labour!’ 

Liz added: ‘We were very nervous about health, there were elderly women and a friend with low immunity who had to be kept safe. We were just nervous and scared the whole time’.
