Imogen Thomas trades freezing Britain for sunkissed Dubai as bikini-clad former Big Brother star shows off her busty physique during beach break

The unseasonable flurry of snow sweeping Britain appeared to be an afterthought as Imogen Thomas enjoyed soaring spring temperatures in Dubai on Thursday.

The former Big Brother contestant has left the increasingly freezing UK far behind, opting instead for the more welcoming climes on offer across the United Arab Emirates.

And she wasted no time in showing off her picturesque coastal surroundings in a new series of photos, taken after she hit the beach for a sunbathing session.

Sporting a seasonal red bikini, Imogen, 40, showed off her busty physique while posing in the surf, Dubai’s coastline partially visible in the near distance.

The Welsh TV personality appeared to be without her two children, daughters Siera, six, and Ariana, 10, as she made the most of her latest overseas trip.

Imogen previously revealed she has a new boyfriend who is not in the public eye after splitting from partner Adam Horsley – the father of her children – in 2018, but insisted she won’t marry.

She told new! magazine in October: ‘I think when you’re not looking, that is when you’ll find someone. We’ve been dating for a couple of months and he’s not in the public eye.’

Imogen admitted that she ‘doesn’t ever want to get married’ despite finding love again, and firmly shut down having any more children.

The TV personality also revealed her professional life was affected following her separation from Horsley, with the split prompting the closure of her swimwear business, Chasing Summer.

Confirming the closure with Instagram followers in 2019, she said: ‘The past 11 months has been the most challenging time of my life. Becoming a single parent has changed me as a person.

‘When my relationship broke down so did my aspirations for my business. My motivation has not returned so after thinking hard this year I’ve decided it’s time to say goodbye to Chasing Summer.

‘It’s been a great few years but my priorities now lie with my two beautiful girls and I simply just do not have the time and energy that the business needs.’

Speaking to MailOnline, the mother-of-two also revealed that after splitting with her ex Adam Horsley in 2018 and getting back onto the dating scene, she piled pressure on herself to look good.

She said: ‘For me, since becoming single, I need to be looking my best. I keep thinking ‘I’m single, I’m single, I need to look my best.’

‘Because when you’re in a relationship you get so settled, you eat loads and go out for meals. But when you’re single you have to look your best.’

The Welsh beauty admitted she is ‘really, really strict’ with herself in order to maintain her slimmer figure, as she revealed that since becoming single she feels the need to ‘look her best.’

She added: ‘It’s hard because I’ve been out drinking all week and then the next day you want to eat so much rubbish, but I’ve been trying to be good.

‘So, I’ll force myself to get up the next morning and go for a run. I’m really really strict. So, I will always try and maintain my weight and shape now.’
