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.'

Escape is over: Rachel MasterChef

“I really was determined to finish,” Rachel Master Chef said.The Hunger Games

“Quitting was not an option, but I think I’m also a realist.“I remember the moment he walked in the MasterChef kitchen. I looked up to Kate and mouthed to her ‘do you think I can do this?’

“I think even then I was so daunted by the task in front of me.”Despite being considered the mum of the house by many of her fellow contestants, McSweeney saw her time on the show as an escape from her domestic responsibilities.

“Being in the MasterChef house was just such a break from my normal life that it was bloody fantastic,” she said.“It was the most self indulgent, selfish, egotistical experience of my life. I didn’t have to look after three kids; I didn’t have to be a wife; I didn’t get phone calls at 3am to pick up my kids because they couldn’t get a taxi. I’ve always done my best to look after my family, but I loved having that time just to cook and when we weren’t cooking we were reading cook books and talking about cooking.”





The former office administrator recently started a traineeship in hospitality at Fraser’s restaurant in Kings Park in Perth.“Every day I learn something new. I almost feel bad getting paid for it,” she laughed.

“I sat down with Chris Taylor, the executive chef at Fraser’s, and after a lot of discussion we realised my strength and talents were better utilised dealing with people.

“My knowledge of food is making me a better front of house person.”

McSweeney’s many MasterChef highlights include impressing Adriano Zumbo with her brownies and travelling to Malaysia to meet Rick Stein, but celebrity chef Nigella Lawson takes the cake, literally.“For me the absolute highlight was meeting Nigella and getting that fantastic feedback that she wanted my recipe and loved my cake,” she said.


“Pretty good for a mum from Yokine.”She tips Sunday’s challenge winner Kate Bracks as the person to beat this series.“I really do think Kate will show everybody how wonderful she is,” she said.“Sometimes it’s not just about being a good cook, but being centred and calm. Kate has all of that. She certainly is my top pick. I also think Hayden (Quinn) and Michael (Weldon) and Mat (Beyer), the three young boys, are certainly going to give her a run for her money. I have to say Ellie is really coming into her own. I think that Ellie, even if she doesn’t win, she will shine.”
