Surfs up: Tamara holds onto her neon bikini as Christian eyes her hungrily

Tamara looked extremely fit and toned and she was only too happy to show off her body to her younger beach mate, 38-year-old actor Christian.

The multi-millionairess sunbathed topless, only putting on her bikini top to go swimming, and was in no rush to cover her ample charms as she returned to shore.

In fact she struggled with a clasp at one point, but Slater strangely seemed in no rush to help.

Slater, 38, and Tamara have been inseparable since last summer, but appeared to hit a blip during the festive season, when he jetted off to Toronto to stay with ex-wife Ryan Haddon and their children in Toronto.

A source said at the time: "Christian is flying to Toronto to be with his family.

"He and Ryan always come together this time of year to make sure their children, Jaden and Eliana, have the best possible Christmas."

However, to make it up to her, Christian took the businesswoman and socialite to the Spice Girls LA concert - and planned the fabulous St. Barts trip.

Tamara set up as a businesswoman at an early age, having been inspired by the success of her father.

At 17 she made her own T-shirts and sold them at a stall on Portobello Road.

She married Matthew Mellon in 1998 and they have a daughter, Araminta.

But the couple divorced after Mr Mellon, a former cocaine addict, admitted he was again using drugs.

Last year the oil and banking heir was cleared of hacking into his ex-wife's emails - after the court was effectively told he was incapable of the crime.

The 43-year-old faced up to five years in jail if found guilty of spying on Tamara Mellon, the Jimmy Choo fashion tycoon.
