Hetti Bywater has posted another swimsuit photo after she was forced to defend herself over negative comments about her body.
The former EastEnders actress shared the picture to Instagram on Sunday as she showcased her toned bod in a khaki swimsuit as she pouted for the camera.
Hetti, 24, captioned the post: “Kissing the weekend goodbye.”

Fans rushed to compliment Hetti’s incredible figure with one person commenting: “Beautiful lady with a stunning figure!”
Another wrote: “You have such an amazing figure,” while a third added: “Looking good Hetti!”
It comes just days after Hetti hit back after some people said she looked “skinny” and “ill”.
She had shared a similar photo but instead of a swimsuit, the star was sporting a patterned bikini.
Hetti, who played Lucy Beale in the BBC soap, posted the picture last week alongside the caption: “Is it summer yet?”
While she did receive numerous complimentary messages, she also received plenty of unpleasant comments.
One person wrote: “Is this some kind of anorexia account? This girl looks sick,” while another accused her of photoshopping the image, saying: “Zoom on the hips and you can see the edit artefacts left behind through post-edit rendering.
“Don’t hide it, you’re projecting a fictitious body image! Sad.”
After much backlash, Hetti responded to the critics in a post shared to her Instagram Stories.
She said: “Does everyone have to be so [bleep] negative on Instagram? Let people be. It’s not your life, so calm the [bleep] down.
“Also, to the people saying my hips are photoshopped, hahaa, I’ve always always had wide hips. It runs in my family. I will from now on be deleting any comments that are rude or negative. Purely because, a girl doesn’t have time for that. Thanks, bye.”

Thanking others for supporting her, Hetti added: “I can’t reply to all of you guys. But I just wanted to say, thanks for being kind people and promoting positivity.
“I’m very grateful, you guys are what makes it worth it.”
Hetti made her final appearance as a series regular on EastEnders back in 2014, when her character Lucy was murdered by her little brother Bobby Beale – who is soon to be released.
