Actress Hetti Bywater looks completely different since her time on EastEnders.

The 24-year-old played Lucy Beale on the soap from 2012 to 2015 after taking over the role from Melissa Suffield.

During her time at the BBC Hetti was part of a huge storyline that saw her character killed off and a drawn-out whodunnit continued until the show's 30th anniversary episode.

It was finally revealed that her brother Bobby was the murderer after he beat her with a music box.

But four years on and the young TV star has moved away from the Lucy Beale persona we all recognise her for.

Now the Surrey-born performer has filled her Instagram with sultry swimwear shots and high-fashion angles.

Posing in a tiny, white Triangl brand bikini on a sandy beach, Hetti's 100,000 followers loved candid snap, one saying she looked like a 'real life Barbie'.

Another said: "Stunning! like a Greek goddess."

A third added: "This will break the internet," while another also said: "You look absolutely AMAZING!! Ignore those horrid trolls on social media who say you're too thin- you look amazing!!"

Since she left EastEnders, Hetti guest starred in an episode of Death in Paradise and she also appeared in two episodes of Sky One drama Delicious.
