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.
