Perching precariously on the edge of a infinity pool, the 30-year-old soap star displayed her gym-honed washboard abs and perfect hourglass curves as she lapped up the sun on her relaxing holiday.
Cooling off in the water, Catherine seemed to have embraced the low-key Caribbean vibe and went make-up free, while wearing her long blonde locks flowing loosely around her shoulders.
The Weatherfield beauty - who plays vixen Eva Price in the ITV1 soap - completed her beach ensemble with dark shades to shelter her eyes from the sun, and accessorised with simple gold hoop earrings.

After enjoying a natter in the pool, Catherine and her chum decided to treat themselves to a tasty cocktail.
Wrapping up in a stylish fuchsia sarong as the girls headed over to a pair of sun-loungers, the soap beauty appeared to have treated herself to some kind of coconut-based concoction as she lapped up the sun.
Ensuring she was in full-on relaxation mode, Catherine reclined on her lounger with a spot of light relief in the form of comedienne Jennifer Saunders' book, Bunkers.

But unfortunately for the actress, it wasn't all lounging about, and and she later took to the beach for a gruelling training session.
Proving being on holiday is no excuse for letting her health regime slide, the body-conscious star worked out with a personal trainer on the perfect white sands.
Throwing on a tight coral vest top and black Lycra leggings, Catherine boxed, lifted weights and performed press-ups - meaning she could enjoy her calorific lunchtime cocktail without feeling too guilty.

And rather than retreat back to her sun lounger after her workout, the blonde later encouraged her girlie pal to hit the ocean for a spot of kayaking.

While Catherine is now in possession of positively envy-inducing curves, she was once a size 22 and weighed in at 15 stone.

But after shedding four-and-a-half stone thanks to adhering to a lifestyle overhaul and healthy eating plan with the help of her personal trainer ex-boyfriend Sam Witter, she is now a svelte size 10.

'It's very basic, just taking things back to the food that our bodies are designed for. People make tiny changes and see a huge difference.
