She's still best known as Jo Stiles, the femme-fatale-turned-battered-wife of Andy Sugden in ITV's Emmerdale - but since leaving the soap in 2008 Roxanne Pallett has been garnering even more fans with her bikini body.
The 28-year-old star has shown off her curves at a series of locations over the past 12 months, and this weekend saw her sunning herself in a turquoise two-piece in Dubai.
Roxanne has been taking it easy since she finished a stint in theatre.

In the summer, she had a starring role in the touring production of Rock Around The Clock.
The musical takes theatre-goers through the music and dances of the 1950s and features non-stop classic songs from Bill Haley and the Comets, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis and travelled the UK until September.

Roxanne then appeared in a touring production of the Vagina Monologues, which finished on December 4 at the Empire Theatre in Consett, Co Durham.
Hands up: The actress looked svelte as she relaxed after a busy year of theatre
She recently made her Hollywood debut starring in made-for-television film Lake Placid 3, which aired in August.
However, she didn't even have a bikini to cover up with in the low-budget flick, which saw her resort to full-frontal nudity in a daft horror about killer crocodiles terrorising an American backwater.
It came out on DVD in October. Her next venture, which she will be hoping fares better, is British film Billy, in which she stars alongside Ricky Whittle and Dean Gaffney.
That project is due out later this year.
