X Factor babe Katie Waissel showcases jaw-dropping figure in teeny string bikini

X Factor ‘s Katie Waissel embraced the UK heatwave this week, hitting her back garden for a spot of sunbathing.

The 34-year-old, who rose to fame on the seventh season of the show in 2010, tried on a scalloped white bikini as she headed outdoors.

Complete with a triangle bikini top and matching briefs, the coordinated two-piece put Katie’s toned abs front and centre as she soaked up some rays.

Her brunette locks were swept into a top knot, and she perched a pair of tinted black shades on her nose to shield her eyes from the sun.

Katie was joined by her son Hudson in the garden, setting up a paddling pool for the toddler on the lawn.

Sharing a few selfies from the relaxed garden jaunt, she added the caption “mom life” over the stunning bikini snaps.

The singer embarked on an intensive fitness journey last year, feeling the “best version” of herself after losing two stone.

Opening up about her lifestyle overhaul, the mum-of-one shared a number of before and after photos of her transformation earlier this year.

Discussing her health-conscious revamp, she told Closer: “I can’t believe what my body is capable of.

“In many ways, it’s better than before I had a baby. When I look in the mirror I actually stop in disbelief, because I can’t believe it’s me and that my cellulite has gone.

“Don’t get me wrong, my boobs are as flat as pancakes from breastfeeding and my nipples are five inches long, but I’ve worked hard.”

She finished: “I’m more toned and sculpted, and I feel stronger.”

With a healthy new diet and consistent exercise, the ITV star managed to successfully revamp her lifestyle, getting into shape and feeling better about herself.

On top of that, Katie has become a qualified personal trainer – meaning her fitness skills know no bounds.
