Natalie Imbruglia showed off her slim figure as she soaked up some October sun yesterday.
Taking a break from the wintry London weather in Agadir, Morocco, the Australian singer relaxed in a skimpy orange bikini.
But, although she was on the beach, Natalie certainly wasn't going without her luxuries.

Natalie was accompanied by a friend, and the two chatted away as they sunbathed.
Last week Natalie was seen in a pair of 'geek chic' black framed glasses as she attended the relaunch party at London's Chinawhites.
The 34-year-old partied with Prince Harry's on/off girlfriend Chelsy Davy and friends Sam and Holly Branson.

Expensive accessories: She may have been on the beach, but Natalie still had a Chanel bag at her side
She is also friends with Prince Harry - the two were spotted in a clinch at the O2 Wireless Festival.
It was Sam who introduced Harry to Natalie, who went on to invite the Prince to her birthday party.
But although the Prince is rumoured to be back with Chelsy - the two are heading off on holiday soon - there appear to be no hard feelings between her and Natalie.

Kara Tointon strips off for underwear shoot as she prepares to star in The Bill
As she poses in her underwear, soap star Kara Tointon certainly makes an arresting sight.
And it seems TV bosses agree.
The ex-EastEnder is being brought in to add some glamour to The Bill, with a guest appearance in an episode due to be screened early next year.
The 26-year-old will play Ami Ryan, the screen fiancée of Josh Hunt, played by former Hollyoaks actor Barry Sloane.
Also starring in the episode, which began filming last week, is former Torchwood star Gareth David-Lloyd.
The plot has yet to be revealed - but it is believed to centre around a love triangle.
Kara, who was recently voted the best-dressed soap star, stripped off as part of her modelling contract for Asda.
She fronts the store's range Michelle for George, designed by Ultimo creator Michelle Mone.
Kara dates former EastEnders co-star, and onscreen brother, Joe Swash.
The pair are set to co-star in panto this Christmas. They will each take parts in Snow White at the Bristol Hipppodrome.

Why I turned down Playboy and had a breakdown: Nelly Furtado reveals all
You wouldn’t dare accuse Nelly Furtado of lacking enthusiasm. Energy flows from her like a military laser. She’s a constant whirl of restlessness, barely waiting to hear the sense of each question before diving in mid-sentence, her answers pinging off in all different directions. So girlish is her excitement that it’s easy to forget Furtado is something of a pop veteran who’s been recording for a decade.
'I once turned down $500,000 to pose naked for Playboy. The magazine was even prepared to pay me $500,000 to pose with my clothes on,' said Nelly Furtado
The daughter of Portuguese parents (who emigrated to Canada in the late Sixties), she made her breakthrough with the single I’m Like A Bird in 2000, and her genre-hopping debut album Whoa, Nelly! sold seven million copies. Now 30, she lives in Toronto with her husband and six-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. Her latest album, Mi Plan, is sung entirely in Spanish.
Britain rules the world.
I adore all things British. I can’t get enough of shopping for vintage clothes on Portobello Road and I love eating fish and chips in Liverpool. The best thing I’ve ever tasted was mango chutney from a Kensington market. Also, the British media make up the best stories about me; they always make me sound a lot more exciting than I really am. I read in one paper that at a music awards show in Copenhagen I was presented with a toilet that had an aquarium in the cistern. Totally untrue, sadly.
'Fame took me by surprise and I ended up having a breakdown. It was too much too soon,' said Nelly
I was inconsolable when Oasis split up.
That band meant the world to me. As a 16-year-old I would write letters to Liam with my photo attached and pray that he would ask me out on a date, but he never did. At college I learned to play guitar to Wonderwall. Oasis were everything I loved about pop music. They could express emotions with the most simple song structures. They had the kind of brash attitude I could completely relate to.
When I meet Ronaldo I’ll tell him to stop diving.
After singing the anthem for Euro 2004 I’ve become a massive football fan. I adore Ronaldo because he plays with so much natural fire and passion. It’s like watching an incredible dancer. His movement on the ball is breathtaking. But he has to stop diving.Fame took me by surprise and I ended up having a breakdown.
It was too much too soon. After two years of intense touring and partying I’d spend hours alone in my LA home, just staring at the floor. I felt like a fraud, believing that people liked me for my image and not my music.
I once turned down $500,000 to pose naked for Playboy.
The magazine was even prepared to pay me $500,000 to pose with my clothes on. I didn’t want Playboy on my resume at the age of 22. If they ask me when I’m 40 I’ll probably say yes.
I wouldn’t say my second album was a failure but, commercially, it wasn’t as good as my first [it sold less than two million copies]. That was the best thing that could have happened to me. It meant that everything slowed down and I was finally able to take stock of my life.
You know you’re in the presence of genius when you’re in a room with Timbaland.
We worked together on my Loose album and we’re currently working on a new one too. Of all the great talents I’ve worked with, he’s got the genius touch. The man is a snake-charmer. He knows exactly how to draw the best out of someone. And like everyone touched with genius, he has a touch of madness about him, too.
Nelly performs during the 2009 NCLR Alma awards at the Royce Hall in Los Angeles this month
I’ve always been obsessive-compulsive.
As a kid I had the whole don’t-step-on-the-pavement-cracks thing going on. I was an awkward, paranoid child.
There are times when I long to be a hermit living in a cottage.
I often crave that sort of solitude. But having a husband and a daughter tends to get in the way of that…

Claudia Schiffer goes unretouched on magazine cover... as she insists she'll keep stripping off for fashion
Claudia Schiffer may be more supermum than supermodel these days but she found time to strips off for a rare au natural photoshoot ahead of her 40th birthday.
Posing topless on the front cover of Tank magazine, the German model shows she's still got the same amazing figure which first captivated fashion designers in the late Eighties.
In the earthy, unretouched shots, the 39-year-old looks fresh-faced as she lets her true beauty shine through.
Still got it: Claudia Schiffer poses topless on the front cover of Tank magazine
The Tank cover shot is reminiscent of Claudia's early modelling days, in which she posed topless in a pair of jeans for Guess.In the provocative shoot photographed by Luis Sanchis, the mother-of-two poses in several shots wearing little but her underwear and a Van Cleef and Arpels necklace.
The magazine shoot is the second time Claudia has appeared topless in recent weeks.
She teamed up with fellow Nineties catwalk queen Naomi Campbell and Eva Herzigova to strip off in the adverts for Dolce & Gabbana's new fragrance Anthology.
Lingerie lovely: Claudia smiles as she poses in some revealing black lace underwear
And despite growing closer to her 40th birthday, Claudia insists she will continue to strip as she ages.Claudia told the Daily Mail's Richard Kay: 'I'm happy to do it.
'I didn't work out, I didn't do anything special for the advert and I wasn't even nervous. Of course, as a model it is normal to be taking your clothes off all the time.
'With Mario Testino, for example, who is such a brilliant photographer, you would do anything.'
Stripping off: Claudia drops her bathrobe in the new advertisement for Dolce and Gabbana anthology fragrances
Buff bodies: Claudia joins (L-R) Tyson Ballou, Eva Herzigova, Naomi Campbell, Noah Mills and Fernando Fernandes in the Anthology fragrance ads
As she prepares for her 40th next year, Claudia insists she will age gracefully without the aid of surgery or Botox.She said: 'It's poison in my skin and no-one knows the long-term effects. I'm far more scared of that than a wrinkle on my forehead.
'All of my friends are my age and we are all ageing at the same time. We talk about it and moan, but it doesn't bother me.'
Her sexy image in the shoot is a far cry from Claudia's appearance yesterday, as she dressed down in jeans and a sweater to join other mum's outside her children's school yesterday.
Later on, she donned a leopard-print dress to attend a Vogue magazine party at Burberry in Bond Street.

Beaming Freida Pinto leaves Asprey clutching a shopping bag... but was it a gift from Dev Patel?
They repeatedly refused to comment on the status of their relationship, but there was no denying Freida Pinto and Dev Patel looked every inch the loved up couple last night.
Leaving a Fashion's Night Out event at prestigious jewellery store Asprey in Bond Street, the Slumdog Millionaire co-stars were all smiles as they held hands.
Even more tellingly, the Indian actress was carrying one of Asprey's famous purple bags - perhaps containing a pricey gem from boyfriend Dev?
Love is in the air: Freida Pinto and Dev Patel leave Asprey jewellery store in Bond Street holding hands last night
Freida, 24, looked stunning in a one-shouldered purple mini-dress and black satin peep-toe heels, while Dev looked dapper in a black trousers suit.The young couple were guests at the BAFTA private dinner at the store, which recognised young British talent.
Freida was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Bafta earlier this year, while Dev, 19, took home the Most Promising Newcomer honour.
The couple have reportedly been dating since falling for each other on the set of Slumdog Millionaire last year, but have declined to discuss their relationship.
New purchases: Smiling Freida leaves the store carrying one of Asprey's famous purple bags
While Freida has been filming the new Woody Allen movie in London, Dev has frequently been spotted socialising with the beauty around the capital.This week alone they attended a Hermes party on Monday night, as well as the Asprey bash.
The actress remained coy over their romance when she attended the GQ Men of the Year Awards on Tuesday night.
Coupled up: Despite their protestations of being friends, their body language tells a different story
She said: 'Why does everybody ask me where Dev is? I don't know where he is, I don't have him on a leash, he's doing his own thing.'I don't know what's going on. I find it funny that people are so interested in what we're doing.'
Earlier this year, their Slumdog co-star Anil Kapoor hinted at their romance, saying: 'When I meet them, I feel there is something happening. They have a magical chemistry.'

'I never wear sunscreen', says former Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson as she reveals her ageing face
Pamela Anderson cut a still enviable figure in a tiny yellow bikini as she and her boyfriend surfer Jamie Padgett enjoyed a day on the beach.
And in the most unforgiving of bikinis she looked much younger than her 42-years...when seen from behind that is.
But the same could not be said when she revealed her tired, lined face and it seems that she only has herself to blame.
The 42-year-old revealed that she has no skincare routine - and amazingly never wears sunscreen, despite living in the Malibu sunshine.
Shame about the face: Pamela Anderson enjoyed a day at Malibu Beach, but revealed she neglected to protect her skin from the sun
The star and her live-in lover Jamie Padgett, headed to California's Malibu Beach, along with many others, for the American Labor Day public holiday.Padgett, is a surfer and electrician who is said to have first charmed the star this January by offering her a lift to the beach in his golf buggy.
Pamela went for maximum exposure in a Brazilian style bikini which barely covered her bottom.
But when she turned around, it's clear that her failure to use any kind of sun protection is having an ageing effect on her once youthful skin.
When viewed from behind, Pammy could easily pass for a much younger woman, but the fair-skinned actress showed signs of sun damage on her ageing face.
Beach bum: When it comes to her physique, Pamela Anderson, seen here at Malibu beach, can hardly be faulted
Nor does she have that other celebrity requirement, a dermatologist, according to the interview.
And she claimed that she was not planning any 'tweaks' either. She said: 'I have no dermatologist and no cosmetic surgeon. Nothing's been shot into this face.
Taking it easy: The bleached-blonde actress lays her towel down for some sunbathing. But at what cost?
'I don't think I'm going to tweak anything. I'm kind of done with it all. I want to see what I look like when I'm old - I'm curious where that's going to take me.'
The actress recently posed for some wacky, arty photographs as part of designer Vivienne Westwood's promotional campaign for her latest fashion collection.
Her five-year Baywatch career brought her international stardom, and two celebrity husbands.
The first was Tommy Lee from the group Motley Crue, whom she divorced in 2002 having had two sons with him, and singer Kid Rock, who split with her in 2006.
But as someone who spends so much time on the sand, Pammy should remember that one of the biggest dangers on the beach isn't in the sea, but up in the sky.

Diddy you have a good night? Lindsay Lohan hits the town with sister and bumps into Sean Combs at restaurant
Lindsay Lohan was out on the town again last night, this time with her younger sister and a friend in tow.
The trio went for dinner at the Waverly Inn in New York for a slap up meal.
What they were probably not expecting was to bump into rapper and record producer Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
Nice to meet you: Lindsay Lohan says hello to Sean 'Diddy' Combs after bumping into him at the Waverly Inn, New York, last night
The star arrived at the restaurant in a silver sports car before entering the eatery and going over to say hello to the actress and her party.Later he was only too happy to pose-up next to his shiny motor, dressed in a sharp black suit.
Meanwhile Lindsay, 23, and her younger sister Ali, 15, opted for the leggy look. Lindsay wore a pair of high-waisted gold shorts and black top while her sibling went for a paint-splattered miniskirt.
The star was out with her younger sister Ali (L) and a friend
Earlier in the day the Mean Girls star was spotted shopping in Soho with friends. In one boutique she feasted on a slice of pizza while perusing the clothes.
It emerged this week that Lindsay has been turned down for a film role playing a teenager because the producers have branded the star 'too jaded' for the part.
She had been lined up to play the lead in the adaptation of acclaimed novel Undiscovered Gyrl, which tells the story of a teen blogging about her sexual coming-of-age.
But the book's author Allison Burnett has now revealed she's passed up the actress because of Lindsay's troubled image.

Talking to the US edition of OK! magazine, Allison said: '(Lohan) is a wonderful actress, but her fame and baggage would only work against her.'Lindsay has been struggling to land a big box office role since Herbie: Fully Loaded in 2005.
Her last starring vehicle Labor Pains ended up going straight to DVD after being premiered earlier this month on an obscure cable TV station.
Recently, she's become more famous for her on-off relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson and flogging her own fake tan line.

Claudine Keane shows off her fabulous bikini body... TWO months after giving birth
Claudine Keane puts her super-slim post-birth figure down to a well balanced diet.
But, as she lounges around in a skimpy bikini, onlookers could be forgiven for asking just what that diet is.
The 26-year-old showed off her enviably toned body as she rolled around on a Portuguese beach, where she is holidaying with her Ireland footballer husband Robbie.
Looking good: Claudine Keane, the wife of footballer Robbie, shows off her post-pregnancy body on holiday in Portugal
Appearing on Ireland's Late Late Show in May, without a scrap of baby weight, just two weeks after Robert Ronan's arrival, she said: 'I was quite active throughout the pregnancy and I ate healthily.'
The former Miss Ireland contestant gave birth to her 7lb 5oz son naturally on May 10.
Riding the waves: Claudine puts her slim figure down to a healthy diet and plenty of exercise
He was the first child for the couple, who celebrated their first wedding anniversary last month.
The latest addition to the Keane family completes a hat trick of Robbies.

Who looks best? Bar Refaeli replaces Gisele Bundchen in modelling campaign
After a difficult break-up it's always hard when your boyfriend replaces you with a younger, blonder version.
But spare a thought for Gisele Bundchen, 29, who can't seem to get away from Bar Refaeli.
After replacing Gisele in the affections of Leonardo DiCaprio, then stepping on her shoes at Victoria's Secret, Bar has now unveiled her new advertising campaign for Rampage - previously fronted by the Brazilian beauty.
Sizzling: Bar Refaeli has been unveiled as the new face of Rampage, previously fronted by Gisele Bundchen
Who looks best: Gisele in a promotional shot for the label
In the new photos 24-year-old Bar shows off her toned stomach and sultry gaze as she swings from the bed posts, lounges on the stairs and gives the camera the eye.The Israeli was lauded as the 'New Gisele' when she arrived on the modeling scene, and began dating Hollywood actor Leonardo in 2005, shortly after his break-up from Brazilian Gisele.
When Victoria's Secret recruited Bar as one of their 'Angels' in 2007, Gisele promptly stepped down, after five years.
According to the Brazilian media at the time, among Gisele's long list of dealbreaking requests in contract talks were that she never be on the runway at the same time as Bar.
Hanging from the bed posts: Bar shows off her curves in a midriff baring shirt
Golden girl: The 24-year-old Israeli model pouts away
Now Bar has replaced her as the face as Rampage, saying: 'The Rampage line is comfortable and the cuts are very feminine. It always fits perfectly to the curves of a woman's body - I have curves and I feel really good in it!'Dari Marder, Chief Marketing Officer, Rampage, said they were looking for someone 'fresh and new' to replace Gisele, who starred in this year's Spring/Summer campaign.
'We were looking for a fresh new face to follow our spring campaign with Gisele Bundchen and when we met Bar we instantly fell in love with her,' he said. 'Bar is sweet, young, sexy and beautiful just like our Rampage customer.'
Newly single: Bar shows Leonardo what he's missing
However, Gisele is unlikely to be too upset about losing out to Bar.She is currently expecting her first child with husband Tom Brady, with the baby thought to be due in February next year.
Meanwhile Bar and Leonardo split last month, with a source telling U.S. magazine People: 'She wanted to move faster than he did, she wanted to move in together, so he broke it off.'

Abbey Clancy and England striker Peter Crouch announce their engagement
At 6ft 7in Peter Crouch needs to bend down simply to look his 5ft 9in girlfriend in the eye.

The proposal came during a sun-kissed holiday in Sardinia, in which the two were pictured enjoying romantic walks, snorkelling and boat trips.
Tender: The former model kisses her now-fiancé on the head
Abbey and Peter met at a friend's party at Liverpool bar Mosquito and have put down roots together.Abbey is overseeing building work at their six-bedroom house, and says that while Peter isn't very domesticated she is a clean freak who likes her house 'perfect'.
But despite her new found fame since dating the premiership footballer who plays for Portsmouth, Abbey said her life hasn't really changed that much since meeting him.
She told Hello: 'I do the same things, go to the same places.
'I was a spoilt brat as a child, really, so I've never wanted for anything anyway. I'm not an extravagant person either. Apart from shoes: they're my downfall.'
