Jesy Nelson has been living it up stateside recently as she continues to work on her upcoming debut album.
The singer, 30, has spent a fair amount of time in Los Angeles over recent months as she records tracks for her upcoming album.
Taking time out from working on her new music, Jesy showed she's still found time to enjoy herself with her friends, sharing photos from a recent beach day in Malibu.
Looking body-confident in a black thong bikini, Jesy shared a series of candid snaps with her 8.6 million followers on Instagram, writing alongside them: "Malibu with my boos." followed by island and heart emojis.
Several of the photos showed Jesy - who left Little Mix in 2020 - sat on the beach alongside songwriter Tally Bad, with the latter playfully holding the singer's boobs in one snap.
The pair weren't alone on their trip to the coast, with another snap featuring hairstylist Chris Southern and one showing Jesy sat with her close pal Noah Sapon.
Chris wrote in the comments section of the post yesterday: "Oh we had a lovely time." This prompted a reply from Jesy herself, who then said in response: "We really did."
And although Jesy has been enjoying her time stateside, she teased last night that she has put on a bit of weight during her adventures - as a result of eating "the best food" out there.

She told fans in a video: "Since being in America I've definitely put on about 100 stone." Jesy then panned to a kitchen counter which featured candy jars and alcohol bottles.
The singer explained: "Thought I'd show you the reason why; sweets and alcohol, literally. When I'm in America, all I want to do is eat - you guys just have the best food."
The singer has been working on new music for some time, following the release of her debut single Boyz - which was released towards the end of last year.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of her first solo album, with the former Little Mix member having hinted last month that she may be sharing some new music soon.
