Melissa showed off her trim shape in a black bandeau bikini which boasted tassel detail.

The reality TV star teamed the outfit with a pair of rounded sunglasses, a white watch and a pair of diamond studs in her ears.

Perhaps her stunning appearance in her bikini proved to tantalising to resist and it was clear that Joe certainly thought so.

When the couple were indulging in public displays of affection they were seen enjoying the clear waters.

As well as taking a dip the New Jersey couple worked on their tans and relaxed on sun loungers on the sands. Melissa, who has been married to Joe Gorga for seven years, has three children, Antonia, five, Gino, three, and Joey, 11 months.

She joined the show for the third season which kicked off back in May, and is the sister-in-law to current cast member Teresa Giudice, with whom she has a strained relationship.

'It's been kind of crazy,' she told TV Guide after her first few episodes had aired. 'I'm not really used to it. Everywhere I go, I get spotted so it's a new world for me.'

However, she admitted she saw her entry into the show as a good opportunity to launch her singing career.

She clearly intends to follow in the footsteps of other Housewives including LuAnn de Lesseps, Danielle Staub, and the originator, Kim Zolciak, who have also launched singing careers.

Her single, On Display, was released on iTunes on August 13th, 2011 to mixed critical reviews.

However, she has said that the single will be followed by other music in the future.

Brandi Glanville & Camille Grammer�re fury at bikini sunbathing in Glanville's poolside antics

She recently raised eyebrows by drunkenly getting married in Las Vegas.

But in the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Brandi Glanville annoyed one of her co-stars by openly flirting with the woman's husband.

Lisa Vanderpump looked on in horror last night as Brandi, 39, locked lips with Ken Todd, her husband of 30 years.

And - as if to add insult to injury - the blonde joked that the California socialite was pleased that she showed Ken some attention.

Brandi brazenly said: 'I think Lisa's not really jealous.

'I think she's like: "Please touch him so I don't have to".'

Settling her nerves: Brandi said that she used to take a 'roofie' to get over her fear of flying

It seems that the former model wasn't too far from the truth as Lisa went on to say: 'Brandi's drunk and she's on Xanax and she's all over my husband...

'Bloody hell. I'm going to have to put out tonight.'

The housewives' antics were filmed last year on a beach in Hawaii.

Teeny weeny: Brandi's skimpy bikini was the topic of conversation on the latest episode of the reality TV hit

The cast and crew flew out there to celebrate Mauricio Umansky's birthday, the husband of Kyle Richards.

Brandi sunbathed on the beach wearing a skimpy beige bikini, which Lisa commented on.

Her attire was not lost on the married mum, who said: 'That is not a bikini. That's butt floss.'

She also said: 'For God's sake, could she not run that bikini farther up her a**?'

Lisa didn't hold back and made another crass comment, saying: 'I'm not going to beat around the bush.

'It was see-through. There was no bush.'

Brandi - who was married to actor Eddie Cibrian - gave her cast mates plenty of things to talk about.

In addition to trying to get Ken to take off his shirt, she also revealed how she used to overcome her fear of flying.

She openly admitted that she used to self-medicate before she flew, taking the date rate drug Rohypnol. 

The mother-of-two said: 'I was so afraid to fly I used to roofie myself.

'It was awesome.

'I wish I could still do that but it's against the law.'

Kyle's sister Kim wasn't on the trip to Hawaii. But Brandi still spoke about her boyfriend Ken Blumenfeld.

Brandi said: 'I said he was like a bull mastiff.'

And the woman whose husband left her for country singer Leann Rimes, urged her cast mates to have fun.

She told them: 'Loosen up kitty cats. We're on vacation.'
