Andrea Corr, 51, shows off her lithe physique in a mismatched bikini as she enjoys a relaxing beach stroll in Barbados
The Irish singer, 51, who often goes on holiday in the Caribbean, sizzled in a black bikini top and pink bottoms.
She flaunted her slender frame in the two-piece and shielded her eyes with a pair of black sunglasses.
Keeping a low profile with a pair of black sunglasses, the lead singer of Celtic pop rock group The Corrs appeared in high spirits as she walked along the shore.
The star is spending some downtime at the Sandy Lane Hotel in Barbados, a clear favourite of hers.
The singer surprised many fans earlier this year when she was unveiled as the Snail on the most recent series of The Masked Singer.
After her identity was unveiled, she quipped: 'I had such a good time, everyone's been lovely, it's been really joyous. I wanted to do it for the children.'
She added that she 'loved' her glittery pink costume and hadn't told a single person she was taking part in the ITV competition.
The star had just missed out on a spot in the top five, with the show eventually won by West End star Samantha Barks.
In 2022, The Corrs performed for the first time together in five years at Hope Estate Winery, in Australia's Hunter Valley.
The 90s band is made up of siblings Andrea, Sharon, Caroline and Jim.
Andrea was interviewed by Australian radio station Triple M ahead of their return where she spoke about the family band and their shared talent.
She said: 'We've often wondered over the years why one of us wasn't a complete dud, like what are the chances?'
'I mean, music is an amazing thing to do. We do love it.
The Corrs have sold over 40 million records worldwide (L-R Caroline, Jim, Andrea and Sharon in 1999)
'Our parents brought us up playing music, listening to music, listening to them. So we're just been doing it our entire life.'
Last year, Andrea took to the stage again back in the summer as The Corrs thrilled festival goers at BST Hyde Park.
On the bill at the Hyde Park festival as a special guest of Shania Twain's headline show, the family band's performance was hailed as 'magnificent'.
Fans were quick to show their adoration at the band's performance, taking to X, formerly Twitter, to write: 'At BST. The Corrs are a stupendously beautiful family,';
'The Corrs, very much on form!'; 'Magnificent #thecorrs,';
'A great day to drink a beer and listen to the Corrs. Wherever you are (I am at Hyde Park for the Corrs and Shania Twain), drink a beer and listen to the Corrs today.'

How the Royal Family's summer excursions to the Mediterranean have noticeably changed: From Prince Charles' iconic windsurfing trip to Gary Goldsmith's Ibiza cocaine scandal as William and Kate are spotted on a £40million yacht in Greece
Like thousands of families across Britain, Prince William and his family escaped to the Mediterranean this summer for some well earnt sun and relaxation. It is understood that William and Kate holidayed in Greece where they travelled around the idyllic Ionian Islands on a luxury £40million yacht. The Prince and Princess of Wales - along with Prince George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte - first travelled to Kefalonia before they were spotted off the coast of the tiny island of Ithaca. The royals then dropped anchor at nearby Zakynthos for a very special reason. During the weekend, the Daily Mail reported that a tender boat was despatched on a special mission. Locals on Zakynthos have half-jokingly speculated that the 12-year-old George might fancied a fast food treat. Sources remain tight-lipped about the what the purpose of the trip was but allegedly the young Prince - seemingly having grown tired of Greek staples such as souvlaki and moussaka - might have fancied a McDonalds. The amusing stories emerging from the Waleses' Greek escapades are reminiscent of holidays that a young William enjoyed with the now King Charles III and his late mother Princess Diana. Throughout the 80s and 90s, William and Harry enjoyed a number of yachting excursions across the sun-kissed shores of the Mediterranean yet there remains noticeable differences between those enjoyed by William today. Indeed, the now adult Prince of Wales has been keen to make sure his family trips remain private. However, while the Prince was growing up, Charles and Diana were pictured in their swimsuits in remarkably intimate and candid shots. One of the most famous yachting holidays taken by the couple was during their trip to Majorca in 1986. They were invited by the King of Spain - Juan Carlos I - to visit the popular tourist destination where they reportedly visited its most popular resorts including Palma and Cala Major - where the Spanish Royal Family's summer residence is located. This is in stark contrast to Wills most recent trip to Greece where the Daily Mail has learned that not once during the sailing trip did the royals set foot on any of the islands. Pictures that emerged from the trip suggest it was a holiday Charles and Diana enjoyed. In one image, Diana could be seen diving off the side of the Spanish yacht into the sea. Meanwhile Charles was spotted enjoying a spot of windsurfing. William and Kate holidayed on the neighbouring island of Ibiza in 2006 while they were courting. While staying on the party island, the future Prince and Princess of Wales were pictured sunbathing together on the bow of a yacht. During this holiday, they were invited to stay at Kate's 'bad boy' uncle Gary Goldsmith's £3.6million villa alongside Pippa and James Middleton and Prince Harry. The luxury pad boasted an infinity swimming pool and a tennis court, but it quickly became known as 'La Maison de Bang Bang' – crude French slang for the house of sex – because of his penchant for wild parties. In 2009, the trip made headlines after The News Of The World printed a shocking photo of Kate's uncle - Gary Goldsmith - seemingly preparing to snort cocaine on their front page. Gary had unwittingly invited two journalists from the paper into his villa in Ibiza where he shared stories about Kate and Wills time at his home including a tale of how William broke his ornamental pyramids. Another famous trip taken to the Med by Charles and Diana was their holiday to Italy in 1991. The excursion was dubbed their 'second honeymoon' as it came shortly after the couple celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary. Sailing along the coast of Italy, the royals enjoyed the splendour of the Alexander - which at the time was the third biggest yacht in the world - where they were joined by the former King and Queen of Greece, Constantine and Anne-Marie, as well as Prince Charles's cousin, Lord Romsey, and his wife, Lady Penelope and all their children. Charles and Diana swimming in the sea off the coast of Sardinia. From what is known now their marriage was very much on the rocks by the summer of 1991 Diana aboard Mohammed al Fayed's yacht in Saint Tropez While the press dubbed the trip a 'happy family holiday', Charles and Diana would separate just over a year later in December 1992 and from what is known now their marriage was very much on the rocks by the summer of 1991. Princess Diana would continue to take yachting holidays after her separation and later divorce from Charles in 1996. Her most notorious trip would tragically become her last when she spent the summer of 1997 sailing around southern Europe with Mohamed al Fayed and his son Dodi al Fayed. At Mohamed's invitation Diana traveled to the south of France, with William and Harry, in July that year for a week away at his home in Saint-Tropez and on his private yacht. It was on this holiday that the Princess met Dodi and a romance soon blossomed. Diana enjoyed the break. The Princess was pictured smiling and enjoying herself aboard the luxury vessel and Harry would write in his memoir, Spare, that 'everything about that trip to St. Tropez was heaven'. A month later, Diana returned to the French Riviera and spent more time with Dodid travelling to Corsica and Sardinia on his yacht. The pair were soon photographed together leading to a summer of speculation in the media about what their relationship was. The Daily Mail ran a headline on August 7 which read 'Diana's cruise with playboy Dodi'. It was during this fateful holiday that Princess Diana was snapped sitting at the end of the yacht's diving board. Alone, wearing a striking turquoise swimming costume the picture instantly became one of the most notorious photos from that summer as just days later both Dodi and Diana would dead following a car crash in Paris. Two years later, in August 1999, Camilla joined Charles and his sons for a yacht cruise around the Aegean in what Richard Kay at the Daily Mail described at the time as 'the most significant development in their relationship since their "coming-out" photocall on the steps of the Ritz Hotel' where they officially announced their relationship. Since their marriage in 2005, Charles and Camilla have continued to enjoy yachting. In 2008 they embarked on a royal tour of the Caribbean where they traveled by boat to destinations such as Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago.

Love Island can teach us about racism and interracial relationships
When Whitney Adebayo, the 27-year-old former Love Island contestant, posted a cryptic message on TikTok this weekend, it set the entire internet buzzing. To go with footage of herself in a bright pink strapless bikini on a beach in Barbados, she added the caption: ''You look happier.' Thanks! I finally fell in love with my skin he used to call dirty.' People immediately speculated that the former wig entrepreneur, who is of Nigerian descent, was referring to her now ex, Lochan Nowacki, whom she met during the tenth series of Love Island in 2023, and from whom she separated in April. The 27-year-old, who before finding fame on the reality TV dating show was an account manager at a communications company, has denied ever making a racial slur, and has found the accusation particularly upsetting given his own multicultural heritage: his mother is Indian and his father is Scottish, Polish and English. He has since taken to TikTok himself, to say how 'insulted' he was by the allegation of racism. A very public game of 'he said, she said' between two attractive young people has quickly become very ugly indeed. When I was growing up, I was surrounded by interracial couples, who were in what we called mixed or blended relationships. These days, romantic set-ups between people of different races are known as a "swirl". And being part of a swirl couple – which is typically, but not exclusively, between a Black person and a white person – is no guarantee of guarding against racism. It seems everyday racism, of the kind experienced in the world at large, can also come home with you. I've been in swirl relationships myself, but I've never suffered overt racism from a partner. And yet I have been subjected to comments that were questionable. One ex once told me, grinning, how his friends had told him he 'must be good in bed' to be with me. I told him that wasn't funny, and that it played into a stereotype that Black women are hypersexual, which can be detrimental: how, when we are victims of sexual violence, we are less likely to be taken seriously. My girlfriends have stories to tell, too. One friend told me about how when she split with her son's father, he'd tell her that his new girlfriends often felt sexually threatened by the fact he had previously been with a Black woman. They would often ask stupid questions, like: 'Did she twerk for you?' Another friend told me how, when she was having problems at work with a client she believed to be racist, she told her white partner about it and looked to him for support – but all he offered was a generic response: 'Not everything is about race.' 'But,' she added wryly, 'he was the one who used to love watching porn where white women dominated Black women. So, yeah, everything is about race.' She was so disgusted by his response that she now refuses to date interracially. It's not just Black women that have to deal with racial stereotypes around their sexuality. Many Black men have told me they've been referred to as 'mandingo' by white girlfriends. Never far behind is a belief that you're somehow less intelligent, more prone to violence, and generally irresponsible. One guy I know in a swirl couple pays the mortgage and the bills, and yet his name isn't on anything; his wife says she likes to 'sign for him'. I only hope they never divorce because… yikes! Another Black friend told me every time he argued with his white ex, she would imitate him – 'and the impression she'd do sounded rather too 'primate-like' for him to be comfortable'. Increasingly fed up, he told her to just say what she really meant, and so she did. She called him the N-word.

Georgia Love makes VERY telling comment amid rumours her ex Lee Elliott has moved on with Carrie Bickmore
Georgia Love's ex-husband Lee Elliott recently fuelled speculation he is dating Carrie Bickmore following their shock split. And on Tuesday, the former Bachelorette star made a telling comment on Instagram about 'good and bad times' after jetting out of Australia. Georgia, 35, posted a photo of herself relaxing in a pool during a cruise around the Caribbean and said the holiday had helped her 'forget it all for a little while'.

'So incredibly grateful to get this experience of a lifetime with @carnivalcruiselineau. 'Follow along for the next week, if not for yourself then for me to believe this is actually real!' Georgia posted a photo of herself relaxing in a pool during a cruise around the Caribbean and said the holiday had helped her 'forget it all for a little while' It comes amid rumours Georgia's ex Lee and radio star Carrie have been spending a lot of time together at Carrie's home. According to Woman's Day, the pair were introduced by mutual friends and the relationship is 'heating up quickly'. 'They've been trying hard to keep things under wraps. But there's definitely something romantic going on. They're a beautiful couple!' a source allegedly told the magazine. Lee is newly single after splitting from his wife, Georgia, earlier this year. He and Georgia, who first met on the 2016 season of The Bachelorette, announced their separation with identical posts to Instagram in May. 'After nine wonderful years together, including four as husband and wife, [we] have made the incredibly difficult decision to lovingly part ways,' they wrote. 'Our relationship has been so special and we will always cherish the memories, love, and laughter we've shared. 'There is no drama, no bad blood. Just two people who have grown in different directions while still holding deep respect and care for each other. It comes amid rumours Georgia's ex Lee Elliott (left) and radio star Carrie Bickmore (right) have been spending a lot of time together at Carrie's home 'We remain friends and we'd really appreciate our privacy as we navigate this next stage. Thank you.' Georgia and Lee had fuelled rumours they had split for some time, after having not been seen together for four months and ditching their wedding rings. Carrie, meanwhile, has long been linked to her Carrie & Tommy radio show co-star, Tommy Little. The pair, who share undeniable chemistry on their Hit Network radio show, have been at the centre of dating rumours for years. While they have never confirmed that they are a couple, fans continue to speculate about the true nature of their relationship.
