But closer inspection shows that same veneer to look a little tarnished, not least when they’re stripped down to their bikinis for the inevitable round of tropical beach holidays.
Chantelle Houghton didn't look her best while running across the beach during a recent holiday in Spain
That fact was very apparent for Geordie Shore star Vicki Pattison, who was pictured in an unflattering pink bikini while holidaying in Spain.

Equally awkward pictures emerged if another Big Brother star in Chantelle Houghton, whose jog along a Spanish beach did not conjure images of Bo Derek.
Speaking earlier this year, she admitted that her figure had become less of a priority following the birth of Dolly, her daughter with former fiancé Alex Reid,
‘My belly’s really flabby, but I really don’t care right now,’ she said. ‘Dolly is my priority.’

The Geordie star’s tanned appearance did nothing to disguise her prominent ribs and painfully thin frame.
Likewise Tara Reid, who looked like she needed a generous helping of American Pie during a trip to Miami, where she was spotted showing off her thinning frame in a blue two-piece.

Speaking to Australia’s 2Day FM earlier this year she admitted: ‘I've have put on about a kilo (2.2lbs) a week, 48 kilos. I'm huge.’

In a tweet posted following the birth of daughter Keeva last May she wrote: 'I think by Hollywood standards I’m supposed to be in bikini shape now that my baby is 4 weeks old. My workout goal: Food drops in lap, not on belly.'
