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.

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.

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.

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.
