Ray Quinn updated his many Instagram followers as he sails around the world with P&O cruises.
The former Brookside star spent many years in the limelight, later joining X Factor and even having a number one album - recorded in Hollywood. But after the UK went into lockdown and the music industry was hit hard, Ray swapped red carpet events for laying carpets and joined the family business.
Once travel restrictions eased, however, the 33-year-old has been able to return to professional singing. He is currently performing on a cruise ship, which has just been docked in the West Indies.

Sharing a snap of himself in the sunshine on Monday, Ray said: "Lovely day off the ship today.. back to work tonight @pandocruises #saintkitts". A huge cruise liner can be seen behind him.
P&O Cruises, which has been part of Carnival Corporation for 20 years, has no connection to the currently under fire P&O Ferries.
Fans and friends rushed to wish Ray well. Liverpool icon Pete Price said: "There's our Ray". Andrew McAuley said: "Keep smashing it mate", while Ray's fiancee Emily said: "Love you!"
Earlier this month, Ray left his Instagram followers welling up after sharing a "stunning" video that revealed Emily is pregnant. Emily wears a white dress, and her engagement ring can be seen on her left hand.
As she embraces Ray, what looks like a wedding band can be seen on her right hand - sparking rumours the two may have already tied the knot. As the clip continues, Ray spins Emily around, with the pair gazing lovingly into each others eyes.
The camera drops down to Emily's stomach, which Ray cradles in his hands, before it cuts to a baby scan photo held by Emily. The words "Coming Soon" appear over the image before the film fades out
