FIRST Dates Cici Coleman proudly showed off her bikini body after a one month transformation in Bali.
The TV favourite travelled to Indonesia at the start of the year and has been living her best life ever since.
Cici, 35, suffered an injury during her travels which meant that she couldn’t exercise as much as she wanted to.
But over the past four weeks she’s been working up a sweat and took to Instagram to show off her hard work.
Cici told her followers: “I had all the intentions of arriving in Bali and absolutely smashing exercise and eating good.
“For the first month I found myself shoveling down my own body weight in food because it is so yum out here.
“My average of 15k steps a day was reduced to sometimes 3k because nobody walks here. Then I got an injury from surfing which KO’d me.
“Now I’ve been given the green light from the osteo, I’m slowly but surely getting back to me again.
“I’ve only made some small tweaks, mainly trying to reduce my sugar intake and mannn I feel so much better for it 
“Let’s see what the next couple of weeks bring. This pics were taken a month apart.”
Fans rushed to the comments section to praise Cici for her hard work.
One said: “And you’re beautiful in both pics 
.”
Another commented: “Looking absolutely stunning no matter what 
inspiration to so many.”
A third added: “Looking good Cici 
.”
It comes days after Cici revealed she was hooked up to a drip and being treated in a medical centre in Bali.
The star, who is on a year of self-discovery in South-East Asia, says she was struck down with ‘Bali belly’.
Speaking from her bed in an Instagram video, she said: “It’s all fun and games until it gets you. Currently laying in the medical centre somewhere in Bali. I’ve got Bali belly, which is a well-known thing here.
“There’s so much bacteria in all the food here, it’s kind of swept me off my feet a little bit. I’m just hydrating on a drip and then hopefully I’ll be back to my normal self.”
Bali belly is a common illness among travellers in the country and is otherwise known as traveller’s diarrhoea.
It’s often picked up early in a trip and symptoms include stomach cramps, diarrhoea, vomiting, aches, and pains.
Fortunately Cici’s treatment appears to have had the desired effect, with Cici following it up by saying: “Thanks for the messages. Feeling much better after the drip. Chillaxing and taking it easy [heart emoji].”
At the turn of the year, Cici told fans she was looking forward to a “year of growth” and made a list of her goals for the next 12 months.
She wrote: “Working on my tan, working on remembering to pack a bikini, working on having a day off, working on less filters, working on stepping outside of the box, working on letting go, working on lowering expectations, working on acceptance, working on my perception of other peoples perception, working on my calm.
“Looking forward to another year of growth. Bring on 2022, let’s ‘av’ it.”
Cici first made her name on First Dates, which helps singletons on their journey towards finding their dream partner.
She is well loved in the First Dates restaurant and is head waitress on Fred Sirieix’s team.
Cici is no stranger to being on TV however, as she’s also appeared in two short films – Beautiful Girls and Sleep – and starred in Essex Vendetta alongside Danniella Westbrook, Michael McKell, Kris Johnson and Eddie Webber.
