The mum-of-one looked sensational in her vibrant green bikini which did well to highlight her sculpted abs and gym-honed legs.
"I can't quite believe that was me a few months ago! As you know I wasn't happy although I tried to pretend that I was," Ola penned in the caption.

Fans raced to heap praise on the TV star, with one writing: "You look amazing [flame emoji] Well done," whilst a second remarked: "Well done. You look fantastic. And a great motivation to get fit."
"You are always gorgeous Ola, now you look sensational!" gushed a third, and a fourth added: "What I like about your post is that it's real, no photoshop pictures of before and after."
Ola and James lost six and a half stone between them
Ola's candid admission comes after the pro dancer revealed her impressive weight loss alongside her husband, James. Discussing their transformation on Instagram, Ola revealed: "I think we both needed that wake-up call and realisation where we'd got ourselves to. We needed to change our ways and be healthy for Ella. We needed to keep healthy for her."
Chiming in agreement, James went on to say: "Because we were unhealthy. We went to the doctor and were both told we were in the obese category. Which for us as professional dancers, to be told that you're obese wasn't very nice."

Sharing the secret to their transformation, the couple explained how they used a combination of exercise and watching what they ate as well as portion control, while still allowing themselves to eat a little of what they want.
The duo have since released their own 'Dance Shred Plan' which combines some power fitness moves alongside some of their favourite dance steps.
