Lily Allen spotted frolicking in a water without her top

They say blondes have more fun, and in Lily Allen's case it is proving true.

The newly fair-haired Smile singer has escaped for a holiday on the French Riviera, where she was spotted frolicking in a water front pool with a group of male companions.

The 23-year-old made the most of the clear blue sky, sunbathing in a tiny bikini, and showing no reservations as she peeled off her top.

The star is staying at the Hotel du Cap Eden-Roc, which sits on the tip of the Cap d'Antibes on the French Riviera between Cannes and Nice.

The exclusive resort is known to draw an A-list crowd - Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes checked in last year to attend the marriage of Australian media mogul and fellow Scientologist James Packer to model Erica Baxter.

Lily is among a stellar crowd flocking to the South of France ahead of the Cannes Film Festival this week including Hollywood heavyweights Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

She is clearly determined making the most of her time off before she begins work on the second series of her BBC3 chat show Lily Allen and Friends this summer.

She is also said to be working on a TV comedy with Gavin & Stacey stars Mathew Horne and James Corden.

Corden, who rumoured to have shared a romance with the singer in recent months, apparently encouraged her foray into sketch writing.

A source told The Sun: "James loves her ideas and shares her sense of humour. He reckons the humour from Lily's first album, 'Alright, Still' will come across on the small screen.

"If they can recreate the laughs they have together at the pub it should be interesting to hear how their stuff turns out."
