Diana Vickers goes topless to show off sunburn after ‘drinking three bottles of wine at 11am in the sun’ on holiday

X FACTOR legend Diana Vickers went topless as she showed off her sunburn during her luxury Ibiza holiday.

Diana, who shot to fame on the 2008 series of the ITV talent show, displayed her painful red burns after a day of drinking in the sun.

The singer, 32, showed off her trim figure in a leopard print bikini top and matching bottoms.

The star flashed her underboob in the skimpy swimwear before she ditched the top and displayed her very sunburnt chest.

Vicky covered her modesty with her arm

She captioned the post: "Drinking 3 bottles of rosé at 11 am in the boiling sun… It’s not big and it’s not clever."

It may be 16 years since Diana appeared on Simon Cowell's hit reality show, but the star has continue to remain in the spotlight.

In May, she landed a surprise job playing Gwyneth Paltrow in a new musical.

She teamed up with former Strictly judge Arlene Phillips, 80, for I Wish You Well - a dramatisation of the Hollywood superstar's ski trial last year.

It was highly-publicised at the time that Gwyneth won a lawsuit brought against her by a doctor who claimed she had caused him lifelong injuries following a ski crash.

The Sliding Doors star was awarded a symbolic $1 after eight days of testimony as part of a countersuit to an action brought by optometrist Terry Sanderson.

Optometrist Terry, 73, had sued her for $300,000 while alleging that a collision on the Park City, Utah, slopes gave him broken ribs and brain injuries in 2016.

As she left the courtroom, Gwyneth was seen to whisper "I wish you well" to Dr Sanderson as she passed him.

The trial will now be brought to life on stage at the Norwich Theatre and Underbelly Edinburgh from July, with Arlene choreographing.

Diana was best known for coming fourth on the fifth series of The X Factor where she was mentored by Girls Aloud star Cheryl.

During the show, she also dated one of her fellow contestants, Northern Irish singer Eoghan Quigg, who just beat her to final.

Both contestants eventually lost out to Alexandra Burke who won the show as JLS became the runners up.

After the series came to an end, she went onto have a huge career, as she bagged the lead role in The Rise And Fall Of Little Voice in the West End.

Other stage show credits have included the comedy play The Duck House, and the Rocky Horror Show UK tour.

She later bagged the lead role in Son Of A Preacher Man in 2017, the production inspired by the Dusty Springfield song of the same name.

Diana also starred alongside EastEnders star Shane Richie in the 2019 tour production of The Entertainer.

In terms of acting on camera, she appeared in the indie movie The Perfect Wave in 2014 with Clint Eastwood's son.

After appearing in the surfing flick, she also also starred in the Sky sitcom called Give Out Girls.

But of course she also focused on her music, having released two albums, Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree in 2010, and Music To Make Boys Cry in 2013.

The lead single Once shot straight to number one and has since been certified silver, having sold over 200,000 units.

Fans often remark how different Diana looks these days as she has previously taken to social media with sizzling images.
