Patsy Palmer has been bursting thermometers left and right while soaking up the sun in a microscopic purple bikini.
The 48-year-old EastEnders actress reclined on a sun lounger in the barely-there swimwear, with her toned tummy and thighs on full display.
Patsy paired the look with some orange-tinted sunglasses, and swept her red hair over one shoulder to get the best angle for sunbathing.
The star looked in sheer bliss as she was surrounded by perfect blue skies and palm trees – just weeks after furiously cutting short a Good Morning Britain interview.
Sharing the snap to her Instagram page, the Londoner had fans swooning, captioning the snap: “Bikinis that stand the test of time.”
The picture attracted almost 3,000 likes in just 12 hours, with fans flocking to the comments section in droves.
“Looks nice there, better than Albert Square!!” one commented.
Another wrote: “Hottie with the hair of gold.”
A third follower added: “That looks like a dream at the moment. Enjoy.”
And someone else penned: “Beautiful and extremely hot hot HOT.”
Another social media user typed: “You bliss out… good for you,” accompanied by palm tree emojis.
Later, Patsy added another sun-soaked snap of her posing in the same retro-look sunglasses, accompanied by a huge straw hat.
She’d donned a thin brown t-shirt for the occasion, as she grinned at the camera with son Bertie, 10.
The EastEnders star wrote alongside the pic: “Try me!!!”
The actress has been living it up in her home in Malibu, California.
The fiery redhead made headlines in March after cutting short an interview on GMB.
She said she was doing a “real Piers Morgan” as she noticed her strap-line read: “From addict to wellness guru.”
Clutching her dog Boo on her lap, Patsy told Susanna Reid: “You know what, actually, I don’t even want to do this interview because I don’t even want to look at what it says at the bottom of the screen.
“So I’m just going to switch off and do a real Piers Morgan and just say, it’s not okay to have ‘from addict to wellness guru’ on the bottom of the screen.”

She added that her issues with addiction had been spoken about “many, many years ago” in her 2007 autobiography.
The star later slammed the programme for making her feel “small and worthless”, adding: “Move on we are supposed to change! It’s a human condition.”
The segment on March 17 attracted more than 140 Ofcom complaints from disgruntled viewers, although hosts Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid apologised to Patsy on air for the offence caused.
