A NOUGHTIES popstar stripped to a swimsuit for a series of sizzling snaps after candidly admitting she had "avoided looking at my body in the mirror" since giving birth. Atomic Kitten songstress Natasha Hamilton, who has since gone on to forge a solo career after quitting the group last year, told how she had "not wanted to see the new me" after hitting peri-menopause and having another baby in her Forties.

Yet a sun-soaked holiday to Brazil changed the 42-year-old Whole Again star's mindset - prompting her to pose for a series of beach snaps much to the delight of her fans. Natasha struck a series of looks in the rust-coloured one-piece with a plunging neckline, which she paired with sunglasses and a wicker hat.

She added a splash of glam with hoop earrings and bangle bracelets yet kept her face make-up free, showing off her fresh-faced beauty. The chart star's auburn hair hung in loose waves over her shoulder as she strolled across the beach in Rio, before twirling around to give a glimpse of her derriere.

In one image, she headed straight to the camera lens for a close-up while another saw her dipping her toes in the water with a huge smile on her face. In her lengthy caption Natasha - who has previously told how she feels "insecure" over her post-baby body - further addressed her body image concerns.

She wrote: "Something I learned while in Rio – body acceptance and confidence are truly abundant there!. "Life revolves around the beach, and what a life it is. Women of all shapes and sizes wear stunning, tiny bikinis, unapologetically showing off their bodies and carrying themselves with the kind of confidence we all deserve to feel.
