They may well be an image of perfection on the red carpet, where the glossy veneer of style and glamour places them on a lofty pedestal beneath which their fans can only aspire.
But closer inspection shows that same veneer to look a little tarnished, not least when they’re stripped down to their bikinis for the inevitable round of tropical beach holidays.
Indeed, it would appear that
for many unfortunate celebs the hips don’t lie – and neither does the camera.
Here she comes: Chantelle Houghton didn't look her best while running across the beach during a recent holiday in Spain
That fact was very apparent for Geordie Shore star Vicki Pattinson, who was pictured in an unflattering pink bikini while holidaying in Spain.
The TV personality has been working hard to trim down over recent months, but her lack of conditioning was clear to see as she stomped through the surf during the early stages of her weight loss campaign.
Likewise Chanelle Hayes, who looked a shadow of her former self during a recent trip to Tenerife.

The mother-of-one, a former Big Brother contestant, flaunted her fuller figure in a string of less than complimentary shots while parading across the beach.
Equally awkward pictures emerged if another Big Brother star in Chantelle Houghton, whose jog along a Spanish beach did not conjure images of Bo Derek.
Speaking earlier this year, she admitted that her figure had become less of a priority following the birth of Dolly, her daughter with former fiancé Alex Reid,
‘My belly’s really flabby, but I really don’t care right now,’ she said. ‘Dolly is my priority.’

TOWIE babe Frankie Essex also left a lot to be desired during a Greek holiday with her current boyfriend, John Lyons.
The Essex girl looked tanned, but not particularly toned as she frolicked with her man in a pair of saggy white bikini bottoms that revealed some unfortunate cellulite on her thighs.
Frankie recently admitted that a penchant for fatty snacks was to blame for her weight gain, telling Now magazine: ‘I’m not confident about my belly and I never have been.’
But the TV personality star can take heart in the knowledge that even supermodels can have a bad day at the beach – just take catwalk queen Kate Moss, who showed off her own growing belly in a mismatched bikini while holidaying in Formentera.

Meanwhile presenter Donna Air appeared to go in the opposite direction while peeling off her top in the Caribbean during a romantic break with former boyfriend Sam Goldstone.
The Geordie star’s tanned appearance did nothing to disguise her prominent ribs and painfully thin frame.
Likewise Tara Reid, who looked like she needed a generous helping of American Pie during a trip to Miami, where she was spotted showing off her thinning frame in a blue two-piece.

However, the actress’s lack of definition was made up for, in spades, by glamour model turned bodybuilder Jodie Marsh.
Indeed, the serial tweeter’s manly physique was on full display in a social networking shot that shows off a set of bronzed, rippling abs.
Elsewhere Rebel Wilson’s distinctive blue swimsuit did little to compliment her fuller frame on a trip to Hawaii in November.
Slender: Both Kendall Jenner (L) and Alyson Hannigan have revealed extremely thin waistlines while frolicking on the beach
The blonde comedian looked of shape as she trounced across the beach with pals, as did weight loss guru Ajay Rochester, whose patriotic stars and stripes bikini badly let her down on Sydney beach.
Despite her apparent weight gain, Ajay – author of 2003 self-help book Confessions of a Reformed Dieter – appeared to be having a whale of a time.
Speaking to Australia’s 2Day FM earlier this year she admitted: ‘I've have put on about a kilo (2.2lbs) a week, 48 kilos. I'm huge.’
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Kendall Jenner looked wafer thin while she frolicked in the Malibu surf in her own stars and stripes bikini, while Alyson Hannigan looked equally thin during a Miami break with her family.
In a tweet posted following the birth of daughter Keeva last May she wrote: 'I think by Hollywood standards I’m supposed to be in bikini shape now that my baby is 4 weeks old. My workout goal: Food drops in lap, not on belly.'
