With her mid-length blonde hair grazing her shoulders, the mother-of-two matched her lipstick to her swimsuit.
Gillian confessed to Closer: 'It really shocks me that people think I’m sexy! I’ve never seen myself like that.
'At the moment, I wouldn’t have surgery': Gillian admitted that she will not rule out cosmetic procedures in the future but at present is content with her appearance

She added: 'I’m actually not very good at accepting compliments. I’m a total tomboy - whenever you see me out and about I’ll be in my Timberlands and jeans. So it’s fun to glam up for Closer.'
Fresh from her stint in this year's Celebrity Big Brother, Gillian said she's not a fan of all-in-ones and would much rather to step out in a bikini.
'I don’t own a swimming costume, so when the CBB producers said there was going to be a small pool and a hot tub in the garden, I just took in what I had at home, a couple of bikinis.
'I actually prefer a bikini because I think I look OK in them. I try to look after myself and it’s nice to be able to wear what you want to wear.'
And letting out the secret to her enviable frame, Taylforth credits Zumba classes and healthy eating as the main benefactors.
The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant said: 'In the past couple of years, I’ve started doing Zumba three or four times a week, which really keeps me in shape.
'I have a set of three hand weights from Argos, so I try to do a few reps of those every day.

'I eat healthily and I don’t eat a lot of meat. I’d rather skip the meat and have the veg when I have a meal,' she added.
In another shot Gillian puts her feet up and she reclines on a white leather chair in a black bandeau halterneck bikini.
Opening up about her thoughts on plastic surgery, the London-born soap star said she doesn't feel the need to go down that route just yet.
'At the moment, I wouldn’t have surgery. I'm really lucky that my face has held up as long as it has, but never say never.
However she did admit: 'You don’t know what the future will hold - I might wake up one day and find all the years have caught up with me.'
