Holly Madison shows off her curves after being told to lose weight for her Vegas show

As a Playboy model she made her name as a pin up, having her picture taken naked or with very little clothing on.

But despite putting on a few pounds Holly Madison is not afraid to show off her body.

The former Playmate, 32, donned a tiny see-through black bikini which left little to the imagination as she enjoyed a few drinks in the sunshine and got a spray tan.

Holly Madison was told to lose weight by the producers of her hit Las Vegas burlesque show Peepshow in January.

But the reality TV star hasn't let it rattle her confidence. 

The 5ft 7in former Playboy model has allowed unretouched bikini pictures of herself to be published in American magazine Life & Style.

'I have cellulite - and had it even when I was at my absolute thinnest,' she tells the publication. 'I’m never not going to have cellulite. 

'People need to just accept that it’s there and maybe dress accordingly or use body makeup to cope with it.'
