Tulisa Contostavlos is making the most of her time off from The X Factor and has taken herself off to Hawaii.

However the former N-=Dubz singer is working hard as well as playing a LOT and spent yesterday filming the music video for her new single titled ‘Live It Up.’

Proving that blondes may well have more fun, the star who recently dyed her hair was snapped dancing on a beach on the tropical island wearing a black and pink bra-let and a pair of Cheryl Cole style floral trousers.

The temperatures may have been high but the heat obviously didn’t affect the performer and she danced and strutted her stuff in the sand for hours, as she put the finishing touches to her video. Some of her moves were quite saucy too, as you can see from these pictures of the beauty.

She later wore a floral bikini as she writhed in the waves for a different scene.

It’s a good thing that Contostavlos is single right now too, as she definitely got up close and personal with rapper Tyga and the two gyrated and danced together, as he recorded his guest star segment of the song.

After spending the night before, eating Lobster and dancing the night away with her pals, Tulisa was up early to get her video filmed and tweeted fans saying:

‘Just got into hair and make up, Shooting the video for Live it up today! #hawaii #liveitup’

She later added:

‘Right guys i best get to work! I’ll try and get back online later! x #liveitupvideoshoot’

Last night the X Factor judge continued:

‘That’s a wrap!! Cant wait for you all to see it! #liveitup’

It was a flying trip for Tulisa, as she has already left Hawaii and is heading back to the UK this morning, via LA.

She will soon be required to return to her X Factor duties, as the show begins in just a few weeks time and there is plenty of promo work to be done. Also, with bootcamp over, Tulisa will next need to take the last of her hopefuls to judges houses and whittle them down to just four for the live shows.
