Mabel and her pal have been enjoying something of an autumnal staycation. 

And the singer looked incredible when she posed in a skimpy purple bikini while posing on the edge of an outdoor bath tub at swanky countryside private members’ club Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire on Sunday. 

The 24-year-old daughter of singer Neneh Cherry, 56, looked incredible in the two-piece, with her friend Awa, wearing a mint green swimsuit.

Mabel captioned the picture ‘City girls that wanna act up’.

The girls shared another snap of themselves looking strong and body confident as they showed off their muscles, with Mabel wearing cosy Ugg slippers. 

Mabel’s music career has grown from strength over the past few years, culminating in her scooping the coveted British Female Solo Artist prize at this year’s BRIT Awards.

Yet she recently revealed she has been battling severe anxiety and depression since her childhood, something which she now accepts will always be part of her.

In a candid new interview with GQ, the Don’t Call Me Up hitmaker revealed that she feels liberated after finally learning to embrace her mental health struggles.

She explained: ‘When I was younger, I always felt like maybe if I had a boyfriend, or if I dyed my hair this colour, or if I had a No1 album, then the anxiety would go away, but it’s who I am and I actually love that.’ 

The star went on to say that she’s learned that being confident in who she really is deep down is what’s important and which helps keeps her in control of her anxiety. 

She said: ‘I had this misconception that confidence was becoming the person that I wanted to be and I know now that confidence is actually being 100 per cent OK with who you really are. 

‘Now, I can hear the little voice in my head and I’m just like, “OK, you’re there, but I’m not going to believe everything you say.”‘
