All action girl: Natalie Cassidy keeps herself occupied - and in shape - on holiday in Turkey with jetskiing, swimming and yoga

The soap actress has gone on the break with a friend and baby daughter Eliza to stay in a five star hotel in the south of the country - and to escape everything surrounding her 31-year-old former fiancé Adam Cottrell's conviction for assaulting her.Heartbroken Natalie, 28, who has suffered from yo-yoing weight over the years, looked like she had shed the pounds too during her recent ordeal - and appeared determined to keep it off whilst abroad too.



The star has been spotted hitting the waves on a jetski, as well as toning up by swimming in the surf.
She's also been pounding the pavements pushing Eliza in her pram in the Mediterranean heat, and has even been putting herself through some yoga poses when she's meant to be relaxing round her hotel pool.


As a result, the mother-of-one is looking in incredible shape - and indeed, Natalie didn't seem shy to show off her figure in her tiny colourful abstract print bikini.

The star did however cover up at the end of another perfect day on the beach in a pretty bandeau sun dress featuring a butterfly print - perhaps another hint that she's been reborn since splitting from Cottrell.

Natalie revealed earlier this month that she was scared her violent ex-fiancé would try to kidnap their baby daughter if he lost control again.


Talking for the first time since her Cottrell attacked her in front of their nine-month-old child Eliza, she confessed that she still loved him.

However, the star, who played trumpet-blowing Sonia Fowler in the soap, believes he might try and run off with their daughter, saying: 'I don't believe Adam would ever hurt Eliza, but I have to remember that things have happened with her in the room.
'What if, God forbid, one day he thought, "I miss her so much I'm going to take her away?"'

She's had one of the most traumatic years of her life - and former EastEnders
star Natalie Cassidy has got away from it all on a last-minute holiday to Turkey.
And though she said that although she was still in love with him, she hated him for what he had done and knew that leaving him would be the best thing to do.The actress said: 'In the end we couldn't be in the same room without arguing. Then it got to the stage when I was frightened and had to do something about it.
'I thought he was "The One". I'm still in love with him but I hate him for everything he's done.
'I still have feelings for him but I can't see us getting back together because of everything that's happened.'
