"Former X Factor finalist Marcus Collins gave fans a treat with a snap of himself donning red hot Baywatch-style trunks while showing off his six pack on Twitter.  The 24-year-old singer, who came second to Little Mix on the ITV show back in 2011, revealed his tattooed and toned torso on the microblogging site, adding the caption: &amp;quot;Malibu ken off to swim with turtles! Haha have a great day! Bye tweeps x&amp;quot; Collins is set to star as Seaweed J Stubbs in Hairspray: The UK Tour. Speaking about the role, the diminutive star told Liverpool Echo: &amp;quot;I was looking into a couple of other musicals, but the fact it was Hairspray kind of clinched the deal for me. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s such a fantastic musical, one I went to see at the cinema as soon as it came out and I thought it was absolutely incredible.&amp;quot;  On the experience of X Factor and being mentored by judge Gary Barlow, he added: &amp;quot;There I was, queuing up for X Factor with nothing but hope and a rehearsed song. I&amp;#039;ve had a top 10 album, I&amp;#039;ve performed in front of royalty, I&amp;#039;ve had a number one. I&amp;#039;ve toured the country. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve done all these things that have just blown my mind and have got to meet so many incredible people along the way and made some friends I&amp;#039;ll cherish forever and some amazing role models who still carry me under their wing, like Gary Barlow who is still looking after me. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s just one of the most influential people in my career and occasionally in my life. I can speak to him for advice, I can speak to him for anything I need to. He&amp;#039;s such a nice guy.&amp;quot;  Phwoar! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
