She's been having fun in the Italian sun after hitting the Ischia Film Festival to boost her profile as an actress - and now Kelly Brook has revealed the figure that her fans know and love on the beach.

The curvy 31-year-old stripped down to a cream bikini at her hotel to top up her tan with a friend and have a refreshing swim in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

The stunning model is having a few days off now the festival has finished and today decided to relax by the pool at her hotel on the island of Ischia after a day trip across the bay to Naples yesterday.

Fun in the sun: Model and actress Kelly made the most of her Italian trip and larked about with a friend at the side of the pool

Kelly is staying at the L'Albergo Della Regina Isabella on the island in the Bay Of Naples and chose to have a dip in one of the hotel's three pools.

She also larked about with a friend and took a picture of the two of them together

Built on ancient Greek-Roman ruins on the seashore, it was built in the Dolce Vita era of the 1950s.

Kelly will also be looking forward to the live music in the cocktail bar every evening.

However, Kelly's boyfriend Thom won't be joining her.

Her spokesman told Mail Online: 'She's gone out with her U.S. agent but will back at the weekend and no, Thom isn't joining her as it's a quick trip.'

Done to a turn: The star covered up in a cute spotted kaftan when she'd had enough sun

Yesterday, Kelly's smile was almost as sunny as the weather yesterday as the star enjoyed a day trip to Naples across the water.

She turned tourist as she strolled the streets of old Napoli before taking to the waves on a boat trip.

The beaming star was wearing a gorgeous 1950s-style sundress from the Jasper Conran Spring/Summer 2011 collection with a cute seaside print and had teamed it with cute lemon yellow Superga plimsolls with white soles and a chic Louis Vuitton handbag.

All aboard: Kelly also took a boat trip as she enjoyed what the coastal city had to offer

Something to remember: The model perused the souvenir stand on the bay

The brunette beauty also cooled down with an ice cream as she checked out the pottery on a souvenir stand.

However, it seems that Kelly was being checked out herself.

She wrote on her official Twitter last night: 'In Naples! Men are looking at me like I am Gelato!! Are there women in Italy??'

Sea legs: Kelly took a boat trip out from the harbour and took some pictures of the views

Picture perfect: The model looked stunning as the sea breeze ruffled her hair on the deck

Sunny smile: The star flew out to Italy for the Ischia film festival but is having fun as a tourist too

Kelly flew out earlier this week to the island of Ischia, which is in the Bay Of Naples, for the annual film festival.

However, there's been no sign of her hunky boyfriend Thom Evans as yet.

Kelly is certainly enjoying herself regardless.

Shady lady: The sun got a bit too bright at times on what was a glorious summer's day

She wrote on her Twitter in the early hours of this morning: 'Just took a boat ride home under a full moon with beautiful people. Viva Italia'.

Fans of Kelly - and probably a lot of those Italian men - will be hoping that Kelly pays a visit to the beach while she's there.

The model has teamed up with New Look to launch a swimwear range which has proved popular with stars of The Only Way Is Essex.

Kelly could use her holiday as a chance to model her own pieces while topping up her tan at the same time.
