EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy enjoy sunshine holidays in Bodrum Turkey and regarding to British media she’s had one of the most traumatic years of her life and former EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy has got away from it all on a last-minute holiday to Turkey. The soap actress has gone on the break with a friend and baby daughter Eliza to stay in a five star hotel in the south of the country – and to escape everything surrounding her 31-year-old former fiancé Adam Cottrell’s conviction for assaulting her.

Heartbroken Natalie, 28, who has suffered from yo-yoing weight over the years, looked like she had shed the pounds too during her recent ordeal and appeared determined to keep it off whilst abroad too. In a bid to keep her mind free from the nightmare she suffered at the hand of Adam earlier this year and to keep the inches from her hips – Natalie has been non-stop when it comes to keeping active.

The star has been spotted hitting the waves on a jetski, as well as toning up by swimming in the surf.

She’s also been pounding the pavements pushing Eliza in her pram in the Mediterranean heat, and has even been putting herself through some yoga poses when she’s meant to be relaxing round her hotel pool. As a result, the mother-of-one is looking in incredible shape – and indeed, Natalie didn’t seem shy to show off her figure in her tiny colourful abstract print bikini.

The star did however cover up at the end of another perfect day on the beach in a pretty bandeau sun dress featuring a butterfly print – perhaps another hint that she’s been reborn since splitting from Cottrell. Natalie revealed earlier this month that she was scared her violent ex-fiancé would try to kidnap their baby daughter if he lost control again.

Talking for the first time since Adam Cottrell attacked her in front of their nine-month-old child Eliza, she confessed that she still loved him.

However, the star, who played trumpet-blowing Sonia Fowler in the soap, believes he might try and run off with their daughter, saying: ‘I don’t believe Adam would ever hurt Eliza, but I have to remember that things have happened with her in the room. ‘What if, God forbid, one day he thought, “I miss her so much I’m going to take her away?”‘The alcohol-fuelled attack happened two months ago and Natalie hasn’t seen him since as she has taken out a restraining order against him.

She also revealed that he once almost killed them all after he got into a fury and drove like a maniac with the entire family in the car. Natalie said: ‘That was really horrible. There were times when he got angry in the car and he’d put his foot on the accelerator and start to drive really fast with Eliza in the back. That was when I really worried about Eliza’s safety.’ Daily Mail reported online.
