Lucie Donlan poses in her underwear after 'overcoming body confidence crisis'

Looking confident and polished, Lucie Donlan posed in her underwear to promote her new sustainable Ann Summers range.

But the Love Island star admitted she once had such terrible body confidence, she would never have been able to “even wear a bikini on the beach”.

Modelling the KBX Planet lingerie collection, the avid surfer told The Sun : “When I was younger I never would’ve dreamed I’d feel confident enough to wear a bikini on the beach, let alone promote a lingerie range.”

Lucie said before taking up fitness she was only happy in her wetsuit.

She explained: “I suffered a bit in my teens with my body confidence – I didn’t like showing my arms, so I often wore long-sleeved jackets. I would only feel safe on the beach when I was in my wetsuit, so my skin wasn’t on show.”

After giving up gluten, Lucie said she lost weight.

She then took up crossfit training, working out with a personal trainer and doing yoga sessions to get her body into picture perfect shape.

Now, she is “proud” of her body.

But while she tries to stick to a healthy diet, Lucie does enjoy the occasional treat – especially on dates with boyfriend Luke Mabbott, 25.

She told the publication: “When Luke and I go out on a date I’ll have pizza.”
