TOWIE star Sam Faiers posing in a bikini after she chosen to be the face of Swimwear365

The Only Way Is Essex star Sam Faiers braved the chilly air in the capital this morning as she posed in a bikini as the new face swimwear brand; Swimwear365.

Reality TV star Sam, who is just back from a holiday in Dubai, was chosen to be the face of Swimwear365 as they believe she represents “real women with curves and shape”.

Just last week, Katie Price launched a line of her own swimwear but Sam said she does not feel threatened by her fellow bikini-clad glamour girl, saying that Price looks good “for her age”.

She said: “Considering she’s had three children I think she’s got a great figure.

“She is super skinny but she does look good, like, for her age.”

Making the move from reality television star to swimwear model is not the first career transition Sam has made in recent years.

She said: “It makes me laugh because two or three years ago I was working in the bank on the cashier desk.”

Sam and her sister Billie, who also appears on ITV2 show The Only Way is Essex, were allegedly attacked by a gang of girls last October, but Sam says she is not worried about girls’ jealousy sparking a second attack.

She said: “What happened happens all across the world whether you’re in the show or not. It happens everywhere.”

She added: “We picked ourselves up and moved on really quickly so we’re not going to let it bother us.”

Sam will be jetting off to the Bahamas, Las Vegas and Ibiza this year and is hoping to get plenty of wear out of the 50 bikinis she has tucked away in her bikini drawer.
