From murder to affairs – Janine’s time on the show was not short of drama. And it’s helped actress Charlie amass a loyal legion of fans too.
And on Saturday (June 1) Charlie had her fans going wild after she posed up a storm in a bikini. Taking to her Instagram, the soap star uploaded a video from her sun-soaked trip away.
Looking sensational, Charlie rocked a strapless black bikini top. She styled it with white bikini bottoms and wore her honey-blonde tresses in a stylish bun.
In the clip, Charlie could be seen shaking her hips while dancing, while later on Charlie lounged on an inflatable lilo in the crystal-blue swimming pool.
She captioned the post: “I never used to wear bikinis.. always felt too self-conscious of what I now consider my perfect imperfections. The battle was real. I like to look after myself but I have to do what I know works for me.

Being gentle with myself.. mind and body is key. And also… I’m learning to not give a f**k (mostly). Hello 43.”
Fans rushed to the comments section to dish out the compliments. One person said: “You look amazing and I love your words very true! X.”
Someone else added: “You look bloody great Charlie.” A third wrote: “Love your attitude, always been a big fan beautiful inside and out”.
