She'll be competing against her TOWIE co-stars for airtime in the upcoming The Only Way Is Marbs summer special.

But Lauren Pope made sure she stood out from the crowd as she unleashed her toned and tanned physique after touching down in Marbella on Thursday morning.

Clearly keen to make an impact on her first day in sunny Spain, the DJ chose a flattering cornflower blue halterneck bandeau two-piece as she joined her co-stars Tom Pearce, James 'Diags' Bennewith, Jasmin Walia and Abi Clarke for an afternoon of fun in the sun.

Adding a touch of glam to her beach outfit, the hair extension entrepreneur teamed her sexy bikini with a striking lime green kaftan, while adding height to her flame in a pair of towering strappy wedge heels.

The TOWIE star completed her look with a pair of hoop earrings and dark shades, while wearing her honey blonde locks tumbling in loose waves around her shoulders.

Evidently keen to capitalise on their debut The Only Way Is Marbs appearance, the single girls seemed to be in their absolute element as they flirted up a storm with a number of male party-goers.

But the starlet didn't reserve her affections only for Tom, and was spotted boogying alongside his best pal, James 'Diags' Bennewith, and kissing nightclub owner Wayne Lineker, the brother of football pundit Gary Lineker, on the cheek.

Earlier in the day, sisters Sam and Billie Faiers were spotted soaking up the sun at La Sala beach club, with the siblings joined by Sam's fiance Joey Essex and pal James 'Arg' Argent.
