The sun is shining, the weather is still cold - what's an Essex girl to do? Slip into a tiny bikini and pair of heels and get to work washing the car, of course! Lucy Mecklenburgh did just that when the sun came out last week, turning a mundane chore into an opportunity for some fun and a photo-shoot.
The Only Way Is Essex star worked up a sweat with her fellow bikini-clad friend soaping up her Mini, before the task turned into the obligatory water fight. Lucy made the most of the spring weather in a yellow bandeau bikini that showed off her deep fake tan, adding a pair of tiny unbuttoned denim shorts and wedge heels. Despite the mundane task at hand, the 19-year-old ensured she was camera-ready with perfectly styled hair and a full face of make-up. As she worked the sponge Lucy leaned on her car and flipped her hair about, giving photographers an eyeful of her toned, scantily-clad figure. The Essex girl took frequent breaks from scrubbing the car to bask in the sunshine, but her companion brought her back to earth by spraying her with cold water. The wholesale fashion worker screamed and giggled as she received a soaking from the garden hose, running away as her friend chased her.
