TELLY and stage star Claire Sweeney looked sunkissed as she hit the beach in Barbados in a glam white swimsuit.

The 51-year-old Brookside star returned to the sandy beach with her son Jaxon, seven, and looked to be having a blast as she took a dip in the Caribbean Sea.

Claire tied her blonde hair up and smiled as she walked across the beach in Bridgetown.

She held Jaxon's hand as she led him into the water with a large float, before cooling off by sitting in the surf.

The Liverpool lass has showcased an array of stylish swimwear on the trip including a plunging magenta one-piece and a teal bikini.

Barbados has become Claire's annual winter getaway location, with her catching the sun on it's beaches last year too.

Shortly after her last visit she stared in the Cabaret All Stars show at Proud Embankment where she dazzled in sexy showgirl outfits.

Explaining how she'd look her best for the role, she told Closer: "This does all mean that I want to look my physical best.

"So the plan is to start going to the gym and hot yoga five days a week, because it's amazing for weight loss and strengthening my core."

During the interview, mum-of-one Claire revealed she'd been having the time of her life since turning 50.

She said: "I feel great being 50!

"To celebrate, I had a special dinner with all my gay friends at Little Italy in Soho and I had a lunch with my family in Liverpool.

"A close friend also threw me a small party, which was lovely."
