Lily Allen Showcases New Svelte Figure In Lime Green Floral Halterneck Bikini To As She Shoots New Music Video For Single Air Balloon In South Africa

Slipping into a skimpy bikini to shoot a music video that will be seen by millions of fans the world over wouldn't be most people's idea of fun just after Christmas.

But Lily Allen appeared to have gone easy on the turkey and mince pies over the festive season if her enviably flat stomach was anything to go by as she shot her new music video on location in South Africa. 

Posing for a cute Twitter snap, the 28-year-old signer showcased her newly-svelte figure in a lime green floral halterneck bikini top as she got to work with her crew in the country's stunning wine lands.

Shielding her skin from the scorching African sun, the Smile hitmaker covered up in a sheer, white, loose-fitting top, while parading her toned and tanned pins in a pair of tiny denim hotpants.

Providing a stark contrast to the loose-fitting ensembles she usually favours, the mother-of-two added height to her frame with a pair of stylish wedge sandals, while wearing her raven locks in cute high pigtails. 

The British pop star completed her fun video look with numerous bangles and dangling earrings, and wrapped blue patterned scarves around her bunches as she grinned into the camera.

The singer has recently burst back onto the music scene after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus from the industry, with her new single Air Balloon due for release on March 2. 

Speaking about the new track on the Capital Breakfast Show on Monday morning, she told DJs Dave Berry and Lisa Snowdon about the track:  'It's about escapism really, and daydreaming in a lot of ways.

'My husband is constantly infuriated with me, because he'll be sort to be talking to me when were sitting down having dinner or something, and I'm looking at him, but I'm totally not paying any attention at all.'

When asked what can be expected from the third album, Lily replied: 'You know what, I'm still sort of piecing it all together, to be honest. 

'So I can't really give you any specifics, but I'm really really proud of it and I'm really pleased with it. I've worked so hard and it hasn't been easy with two little tiny babies running around.'
