Shirtless Simon Cowell, 58, frolics on the beach with bikini-clad girlfriend Lauren Silverman, 40, as they go for an adventurous jet-ski ride during sun-kissed getaway to Barbados
His Christmas holidays are set to be all the more celebratory, thanks to his group Rak-Su recently becoming the first ever boy band to win The X Factor.
And Simon Cowell, 58, was spotted preparing to welcome the Yuletide season in style on Tuesday, when he was spotted enjoying a day of jet-skiing off the shores of Barbados alongside his stunning bikini-clad partner Lauren Silverman, 40.
Displaying his hirsute torso as he went shirtless under his life vest, the music mogul looked casually cool in a pair of powder blue shorts, which he teamed with mirrored aviator sunglasses as he walked along the Eastern Caribbean island's shoreline.

Hello sunshine! Simon Cowell and his girlfriend Lauren Silverman were spotted soaking up the sun in Barbados on Tuesday
Appearing to be in jovial spirits, he smiled while meeting greeting fans as he walked beside Lauren, who looked sensational in an olive green bikini, which she teamed with tinted aviator shades and a zipped-up life vest.
With her long raven tresses flowing down her back, she further shielded herself from the intense sunshine with a black baseball cap as she and Simon were seen boarding jet-skis while preparing to speed through the alluring azure ocean water.
The couple made it an adults-only affair, stepping out for the sporty excursion without their adorable three-year-old son Eric, who has been spotted enjoying the delights of the beach with his parents over the past several days.

Simon and Lauren, who are regular visitors to the island, looked every inch the jet-ski regulars as they confidently took to the calm waters.
The Cowells have made the 4,000 mile trip to Barbados for the last few years to ring in Christmas and the New Year as a family.
The media boss has owned a property on the Eastern Caribbean island for a number of years, and often joins his family a few days later for the winter festivities.
In 2013, it was revealed Simon had been in a relationship with his then-best friend Andrew Silverman's wife Lauren, after pictures emerged of them kissing on a yacht.

The pair then welcomed their son - a half-sibling for Lauren's eldest son Adam, 11, from her previous marriage - in February 2014, and named him after Simon's late father, who died in 1999.
While he is now closer than ever with his little boy, Simon confessed last year that he had struggled to form a bond with the tot after he first arrived.
Yet, Simon later admitted to the Daily Star that the pair were now closer than ever - with Eric even confiding in him about his seemingly hectic love life.
The producer joked to the paper: 'I think he has my charm with the ladies. I asked him the other day how many girlfriends he's got and I think he's got five currently, so he's doing OK.'
