Maria Fowler appeared to have gotten a little distracted by her own assets as she slathered herself in sun cream on the beach today.

The former TOWIE star is on holiday in Marbella and made a big show of being sun safe during a day on the sand.

Maria, 25, ensured every last inch of skin was covered, requiring her to twist and turn to every angle - giving nearby photographer quite the view.

Miss Fowler perched on a stone wall as she applied the sun cream to her body, clad in a skimpy leopard-print swimsuit.

Maria appeared rather in awe of her chest at one point, push her cleavage together and gazing downward.

Despite being on the beach, the reality star was fully accessorised with dangly earrings, bangles, and perfectly painted red nails.

Maria got a helping hand from a friendly passer-by across the hot sand, reaching back to ensure the cameras didn't catch too much.

Later, Maria appeared to be attempting to change from her leopard bikini into a pink one without getting undressed.

While switching swimsuits the bikinis became tangled, pulling down her bottoms to reveal a hint of cheek.

Maria is living it up in Spain in the aftermath of her break-up from footballer boyfriend Lee Croft.

And a holiday rebound romance appears to have perked her up again following the split.

Maria was pictured indulging in a passionate kiss with another sportsman last night in a nightclub in the holiday spot.

She was pictured getting hot and heavy with Liverpool striker Nathan Eccleston, before the pair left the bar, TIBU, hand in hand.

Maria jetted out to the Spanish hot spot on Thursday in a bid to try and get over the break up from Croft, who she had been dating since last year.

And by the looks of things - her plan has certainly worked.

A source close to the reality star told MailOnline that the pair instantly hit it off and plan to meet up when they return home.

The source said: 'They got on so well, they just clicked. He is so much nicer than her last boyfriend. But she didn't go out to snag a footballer, she didn't even realise he was one. I am not sure if she knows now.

Maria revealed on Wednesday that she had split from Derby County player Lee two weeks ago, when he told her he wanted 'time to himself'.

She revealed how they were planning children and a wedding, while she admitted she was struggling to get over the split.

She said: 'It's been a really tough time for me. I changed my whole life to be with Lee and moved up to Scotland to be with him when he was signed by St Johnstone on loan.

'I thought we were going to spend the rest of our lives together but Lee is not ready to settle down yet.'
