Earlier this month, she narrowly missed out on landing a coveted spot in the Strictly Come Dancing final, which was won by underdog Joe McFadden.

But Mollie King showed that she's certainly a winner on social media on Wednesday night, when she posed for a selfie in a lacy green bra - and posted the scintillating image to her popular Instagram account.

With her wavy blonde tresses slightly obscuring one side of her face, the 30-year-old singer is seen flashing a dazzling smile as she poses in her lingerie for an image much racier than the snaps her almost 750,000 followers have been accustomed to.
