Sophie Anderton has finally got her life back on track after fighting a highly public battle with drugs - even turning to prostitution to fund her addiction.
But after conquering her demons and moving to the country with internet entrepreneur James Simpson, the model is looking healthier and happier than ever.
And the glowing brunette, 33, showed country life is doing her the world of good as she was spotted holidaying in the sun.
Bouncing back: Sophie Anderton looks healthy and toned as she enjoys a dip in the sea off the Turkish coast
The former Gossard model and Simpson jetted to Turkey for a relaxing Christmas break away from the cold.
Showing she's still got her lingerie-model figure, Sophie enjoyed a dip in the pool in a blue bikini top and pink bottoms.
After a difficult year, which saw former stockbroker Paul Davis escape a jail sentence after he was found guilty of harassing Anderton, no doubt the brunette is looking forward to 2011.

She admitted recently she hoped to marry Simpson, who she started dating in late 2009.
She told Glamour magazine recently: 'We’re buying a house and, hopefully, he’ll pop the question.
It’ll be a definite 'yes’. My mother has already told him she wants him to be the father of her grandchildren, but I’m allowing the relationship to take its course.'

Anderton has credited Simpson with finally giving her the courage to kick her addictions once and for all.
She said: 'I was able to knock drinking and drugs on the head because I knew it would destroy us.'
Sophie shot to fame when she modelled for lingerie giant Gossard in 1996 and soon hit the party scene.

She became engaged to millionaire Robert Hanson, 17 years her senior, but the relationship was over by 2000.
It was during her high profile relationship with former Chelsea goalie Mark Bosnich in 2002 that her cocaine addition became public.
In 2007 Sophie became the victim of a national newspaper sting that saw her taking cocaine and offering to sleep with a fake sheikh for £10,000.
