Cheryl Cole Sparkles By The Seaside In Hot Swimsuit

Just 18 months ago, her marriage was in crisis and her figure looked skeletal as the stress took its toll.Now Cheryl Cole is back in good shape and appears happier than ever with husband Ashley Cole.The singer ditched her bikini to show off her figure in a striking cutaway swimsuit by designer Melissa Odabash.

And at £375, her sexy look certainly didn't come cheap.Cheryl turned heads in the south of France - where the couple are holidaying - in the lime green Florida bathing suit from Odabash's swimwear collection, which was decorated with circular mirrors.It appeared to have plenty of support in the bust area, however Cheryl's tiny figure failed to fill it out much as the bikini area looked somewhat baggy. Husband Ashley appears to be on the same diet as his wife, as he showed off his slight physique in blue swimming trunks.

The smiling pair appear to have got over the allegations of infidelity that rocked their marriage last year.They sat chatting and laughing on the beach with a group of friends beside the sea.Ashley then took a dip in the water while Cheryl and a female friend bartered with a local salesman, buying cowboy sunhats.

Showing his tender side, Ashley then played in the sand with their friend's young child, helping build a sand castle as he kept a close eye on the youngster.The happy scenes were a far cry from a year ago, when 25-year-old Cheryl's weight plunged to under six stone as she battled to save her marriage.
