Not So Perfect: Nicole Scherzinger Shares Hilarious Unflattering Beach Snaps In The Maldives

While most celebs only share their perfect beach snaps - we suspect after taking plenty beforehand - the former X Factor judge took a refreshingly different approach to hers, mocking herself by showing a hilarious before and after photo on the beach.

In the before snap, Nicole playfully sticks her behind out in an unflattering pose with any equally unflattering expression on her face, before following it up with a much better shot after perfecting her beach goddess look.

The 35-year-old jokingly captioned the images with: "#Before&After Nobody eva shows the before! They only show the After! LOL:-P"

Even Nicole's unflattering before photo managed to land her a sea of compliments, with her fans responding soon after to gush over the singer's perfect bikini body.

"Not fair, who gets to wakeup beside that?" one follower wrote, while another stated: "Omg look dat body... You're so amazing. I love you." Followed by another fan who praised the singer's sense of humour, writing: "I love the fact your happy to show this pic. Makes you normal, funny & very likeable (sic)."

We're pretty sure beau Lewis Hamilton was thinking exactly along the same lines when he caught wind of these snaps.
