X Factor beauty Leona Lewis flaunted her curvy body in a bikini as she soaked up the sun on a romantic Caribbean break with her boyfriend.
The couple splashed about in clear blue waters and looked blissfully in love on the sun-kissed beach.

The singer and boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa also stripped off their flip-flops to share a romantic walk along the golden sands.
The couple had fled the winter blues to a favourite winter haunt of her manager Simon Cowell, who seems to have followed up on his promise to treat the star to a holiday.

But it seems that despite the star’s phenomenal success, she still has a grip on the important things in life.
She insisted that her exotic break with the Hackney electrician would have to wait until after spending Christmas Day with her family in East London.

Cowell, known as pop’s “Mr Nasty” for his fierce criticism of guests appearing on the X-Factor, seems to have kept his word and splashed out, treating the starlet to an all expenses paid, romantic holiday for two.
It is believed that millionaire Cowell made the generous gesture as a reward for her incredible year.
The 22-year-old’s single Bleeding Love soared to the No1 spot in October while her debut album Spirit, has also topped the charts and became the fastest-selling UK debut ever.

Leona sets the record for fastest-selling debut album
Leona Lewis has set a UK record for the fastest-selling debut album.
Spirit went straight in at number one, while the 22-year-old X-Factor winner’s song Bleeding Love also remained at the top of the singles chart for the fourth week running.
Leona’s album saw off stiff competition from the Spice Girls’ Greatest Hits album, which went in at number two.

The previous fastest-selling debut album was the Arctic Monkeys’ Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not in January 2006, which managed 363,735 copies in its first week. This week Spirit sold a massive 375,872 copies.
A spokesman for Leona said: “On it’s first day of sales alone Spirit sold over 130,000 copies, which was outselling the rest of the top 10 put together.
“On average it worked out that Leona was selling an amazing 200 albums per minute.”
In this week’s singles chart, Take That stayed at number two with Rule The World with Timbaland’s Apologize another non-mover at three.

Kylie’s single 2 Hearts climbed eight places to fourth while Valerie by Mark Ronson featuring Amy Winehouse fell one to five.

Flux by Bloc Party was a new entry at eight, while Loch Lomond by Runrig featuring Tartan Army claimed ninth spot.
Last week’s six, About You Now by the Sugababes, slid four to this week’s number 10.
In the album chart, last week’s number one, Back Home by Westlife, was forced down to third place by Leona and the Spice Girls.
Mothership, a new entry by Led Zeppelin, entered the list at number four, while Celine Dion’s new album Taking Chances went in at five.
The two other new entries to this week’s chart top 10 were Sawdust by the Killers at seven and Andrea Bocelli’s hits collection Vivere at eight.
Leona Lewis’s fairytale continues as she transforms into Disney princess
Former X-factor winner Leona Lewis proves that fairytales do come true as the singer is transformed into a Disney Princess.
The images were created to celebrate the opening of the animated family comedy, “Enchanted”.

The transformation comes in conjuction with the release of Leona’s new album, Spirit, which is out next week.
“Enchanted” tells the story of fairytale princess Giselle, who has is sent to modern day New York by an evil queen (Susan Sarandon) falling in love with a handsome divorce lawyer (played by Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey).
When Leona won The X Factor, she was the embodiment of a million girls’ daydreams.
The 22-year-old Londoner has since shot to fame and her recent debut single “Bleeding Love” jumped straight to the top of the pops.
X Factor winner Leona Lewis gets a diva makeover
Her voice has constantly been compared to those of her idols – Mariah Carey, and Whitney Houston.
But now Leona Lewis not only sings like them, but is beginning to look like them as Britain’s top female singer unveiled a highly-styled diva image.
Clean living diva: Leona Lewis has topped the charts with her second single, and now looks every inch the highly-styled diva
Leona, who Cowell declared “one of the best singers we’ve had in this country for 20 years”, has topped the charts with her second single Bleeding Love.
And in keeping with her new status, she swept onstage to perform at the Harpers Bazaar & Moet Gold party wearing a full-length, body-sculpting, shocking pink gown.
With hair scraped back into a ponytail, and dramatic smoky-eye make-up, Leona was virtually unrecognisable from the shy 21-year old who first appeared on the top reality show, and instead looked every inch the chart-topping star as she debuted her new look.

X Factor winner Leona, 22, entered the chart at Number One, and has sold more than 218,000 copies of her new track Bleeding Love, taken from forthcoming album Spirit, to beat boyband Take That to the number one spot.
Last year she claimed the Christmas number one spot with her debut single A Moment Like This, knocking Take That off the prime position with their comeback single Patience.
Later, diva-in-training Leona changed into a little less showy number to enjoy the party. There was no unladylike hitching up of her frock a la Kate Moss, but a quick change into a black cocktail dress, and a leather jacket for a bit of rock and roll style.

Clean-living Leona, who famously doesn’t drink alcohol or smoke, makes a refreshing change from the drink and drug addled stalwarts of the British music world.
But she admitted she finds it daunting to be compared to the likes of Mariah, Whitney and Celine.
She said: “To be compared to them just one per cent would be amazing to me.
“I am nervous, but there’s no way I’m going to let this opportunity slide.
“Whatever happens to me from now on, I can’t ever imagine wanting to distance myself from The X Factor, or having a bad word to say about it, because the show opened doors for me that had never opened before.
“I feel, and I hope, I’m the same girl I’ve always been and that my situation has changed, but I haven’t.”
