The actor, who played who played Kate Connor's ex girlfriend Imogen Pascoe in Coronation Street, posted a throwback picture of herself in Mykonos, Greece, in a red swimsuit with a black lacy sheer dress worn over the top.

In the picture she gazed over her shoulder as the camera captured the view from behind. Melissa cut to the chase as she said her Instagram offering was to celebrate her derriere in the snap.

Former EastEnder actress Kacey Ainsworth replied with a winking emoji: "Cheeky." Fellow former Corrie star Bhavna Limbachia shared a flame and celebratory raising hands emojis and stokiesimon told her: "Feel cute, don't delete, buns for days Huns." Melissa, who has a history of body dysmorphia, has been advocating body positivity and female sexuality after finding herself having to come to terms with her body becoming public property.

In 2018 her iCloud was hacked and explicit photos of her were released online. Last year the star, who was born without her right forearm and hand, took ownership of her story by touring her one-woman show to fight back at 'body shaming' and 'slut shaming' within society.
