Jordin Sparks shows off new bikini body

Jordin Sparks brought some heat to Las Vegas by showing up at a showbiz bash in just a bikini.

The singer has been working hard on overhauling her health in recent years, shedding 50 pounds in 2012.

Now she's showing off the fruits of her labour by turning up to the grand opening of the Tao Beach season at The Venetian hotel in Las Vegas in skimpy swimwear.

Jordin donned a neon two-piece swimsuit, highlighting her toned tum - but she admits it took a huge amount of courage for her to strip off in public.

Before heading to the bash, the Tattoo hitmaker wrote on Instagram: "BIG step for me to wear something like this on a carpet... For ME, this was HUGE. I'm still learning more about my health & body confidence everyday! I always want to keep growing!

"Some of the pics might look crazy & that's okay! Will there be some unflattering angles? Yeah. Will I have some jiggle here, some flab there? YUP. Am I continuously working to be fit & healthy? SURE AM! I've come a long way from where I was! I love my life! I love who I am & who I'm becoming!!"

Jordin, who is dating R&B star Jason Derulo, has previously opened up about how a health scare made her realise she had to take her health seriously.

She explained: "I just wanted to be healthy. It was just before my 21st birthday. I had walking pneumonia, couldn't breathe and felt totally fatigued. I remember thinking, 'I'm in my prime. I should be happy and fit.' That was the moment I decided that changes needed to be made... I knew I had a long road ahead of me. I was barely working out, and my diet was a mess. I had to address when, what, and how much I was eating...

"For me to even be talking about bikini confidence is crazy. If you had asked me a couple of months ago, I probably would have been like, 'What are you talking about?' So it's actually huge for me to even feel OK with putting a bikini on."
