X Factor star Diana Vickers has stunned fans by modelling a crochet bikini while on holiday.
The 2008 contestant took to Instagram on Friday (July 28) to share a series of photos from her Mediterranean getaway.
The 31-year-old went make-up free which let her freckles shine through as she soaked up the sunshine.
In her Instagram album, she was seen in an olive two-piece as she sunbathed in a charming European harbour.
In one snap she showed off her incredible figure and toned stomach. A second photo saw pose at her accommodation in her stylish bikini with a hot drink.
Diana captioned her post: "Freckles, me, my sister and other cute stuff by the sea."
Doting fans were quick to praise the performer, who competed against JLS and Alexandra Burke in her X Factor series.
One fan said: "I needed a second ‘like’ button for the last photo in the slide."
A second said: "Freckles are for beauty."
Another commented: "Beautiful and love the realism in the photos."
And a fourth wrote: "You are gorgeous."
Following her sudden rise to stardom in 2008 Diana was snapped up by a record company shortly after X Factor series five ended.
She released her debut single Once shortly afterwards and has since released two albums.
Today she works primarily as an actress onstage and is currently appearing in a theatrical touring production on Steel Magnolias.
In June, OK! reported how Diana looks as young now as she did back in 2008. She was seen out in public taking a stroll down London's ritzy Bond Street.
She was pictured wearing her blonde hair in a long centre parted wavy bob, just as she did on the primetime ITV show.
Her classic outfit – black boots and an LBD – was one she could equally have worn 15 years ago.
Aside from performing on stage she also hosts a podcast.
Earlier this year she found herself back in the news when she was branded "disrespectful" after she posted a parody video about Queen Camilla and Princess Diana just hours before the Coronation.
Diana shared a clip of herself and podcast pal Chiara Hunter singing about the royals which went viral.
The co-hosts could be seen donning plastic crowns, and captioned their video: "QUEEN CAMILLA ( the ultimate long game) For all you side pieces out there… stay focused."
Comments on the posts mostly enjoyed the video, but some blasted about "disrespect".
It didn't seem to put off Diana, who wrote "Happy Friday" beneath one complaint.
Diana, who was one of OK!'s Women To Watch in 2023, has a loyal Instagram following of 102k and regularly posts updates about her life and career.
