SOPHIE Ellis-Bextor soaks up the sun in a swimsuit and reflects on summer breaks in an ad campaign.
The singer, who turned 46 yesterday, wore a floral one-piece in an advert for digital department store Freemans.com.
The retro commercial sees her sunbathing, chilling out with friends and riding a carousel in a green dress.
said: “To me, this ad is bottled sunshine.
is all about living lightly – from clothes to to accessories to that joyful feeling in your heart when the sun shines.
“Freemans wanted to capture that feeling of fun and as you can see from the smiles on all our faces, we did it.
It makes you long for lazy days and fabulous summer fashion.”;
She shot the advert in Brighton, where she will perform in June as part of her UK tour, which kicks off next month.
Sophie recently told of her pride of ringing in the bells for New Year's Eve – despite her BBC show being branded “breathless and awkward”.
The 45-year-old faced nasty trolling over her performance.
However, ignoring the haters, Sophie wrote on Instagram: “So so proud and happy that I got to host a NYE disco on BBC One.
“What an absolute privilege – I know New Year’s Eve is a special night.
“Huge thank you to my guests who really brought the party – what a treat to have them on stage with me!
“I’ve seen many a new year in with the @bbc on as Big Ben chimes so I really see it as the biggest honour my band and I got to ring in 2025 with whoever was watching. If that was you, thank you.”
