Andrea Corr, 51, showcases her incredibly toned figure in a skimpy patterned bikini as she hits the beach in sun-soaked Barbados
Andrea Corr showcased her age-defying figure as she hit the beach while holidaying in sun-soaked Barbados on Monday. The iconic Irish singer, 51, slipped into a colourful patterned bikini which boasted a triangular top and drawstring bottoms. The tiny two piece perfectly displayed her toned physique while she kept a low profile beneath shades and a navy baseball cap. The lead singer of Celtic pop rock group The Corrs enjoyed a cooling dip in the clear blue ocean before strolling along the sand. Andrea later returned to her party and appeared in great spirits as she chatted while topping up her tan. It comes after 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. '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.'

WEST End actress Samantha Barks missed out on a huge £25,000 prize when she failed to correctly identify a riddle on Celebrity Catchphrase in time.

Having made her way to the fourth stage, performer Samantha had managed to bag herself £10,000 already and with less than 20 seconds on the clock, she was hoping to claw £25,000 by answering another puzzle. But for Samantha it proved tricky as she was left scrambling to come up with an answer. In the puzzle that stumped her, three characters could be seen with their backs against a brick wall and a shadow of their silhouette being clearly visible on the wall. But for the third character, he could be seen moving his own shadow around on a fishing rod. Samantha was expected to use this as a clue to get to her final answer. Staring at the puzzle, a perplexed Samantha shouted: "Fishing shadow! "Shadow fishing, shadow catching, shadow line? "Throwing your shadow?" ^FOR WEEKEND DO NOT ACTIVATE YET^ Watch the moment Nadine Coyle misses out on huge £50k Celebrity Catchphrase prize Although there was only two seconds left on the clock, Samantha opted to pass but ultimately she missed out on getting the £25k she was able to play for.

The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G.
