Not content with gazing up at the beautiful blue skies and lounging by the pool, One Direction heart-throb Liam Payne found his own fun while on holiday at an undisclosed location.

The 20-year-old shared a photo of himself posing topless on Tuesday as he strode out of the pool while wearing a makeshift orange shell bikini.

Superstar Lady Gaga was quite taken with the image and wrote on Twitter: 'You are a real life Botticelli Babe! Lookin good #Applause4Liam!!'

The star looked exceptionally handsome with his hair slicked back and a rather suave pair of sunglasses. He wore a simple pair of black swimming shorts as he felt the sunshine on his face.

Liam was obviously playing some party tunes at the same time as he took to Twitter to write about how much he was enjoying the music he was listening to.

He wrote: 'Hello mr @scott_mills listenin to you far away on holiday thank you for providing the soundtrack to our beach view,' a message which was retweeted by Gaga just hours later.

Risqué: Gaga also opted for the shell bikini when she performed at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards

No doubt Gaga was pleased to have inspired Liam's latest get-up as she wore something similar when she performed at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.

She also recycled the look for the Applause music video in which she channels The Birth Of Venus painting by Botticelli.

No doubt Payne is enjoying a bit of rest and relaxation and posted another snap of himself jumping for joy in a pair of red shorts.

One Direction recently released the music video for their latest single Midnight Memories.

Last week, an excited Liam took to Twitter to encourage fans to check it out, writing: 'Our Midnightttt Memories video is live now! What do you think???' [sic]

Meanwhile, Liam's bandmate Niall, 20, headed to Taylor Swift's gig at London 02 arena on Sunday night while on crutches following a knee operation.

While the cute blonde band member supported his mate's ex-girlfriend at her sold-out concert, Harry was celebrating his birthday in the States with his rumoured love interest, Kendall Jenner.
