Jabba the Huck

SINGER MICK HUCKNALL's muffin top has a life of its own as he hangs out at the beach.

The Simply Red star had what looked like a FACE on his belly - bearing a remarkable resemblance to Star Wars' Jabba the Hutt.

Mick, 50, was on holiday in Sardinia with wife Gabriella Wesberry and their three-year-old daughter Romy during a break from his band's farewell tour.

But he wasn't quite Holding Back the Years.

Mick - whose first hit was Money's Too Tight to Mention - splashed about with Romy in the surf before cuddling his wife, who he married in May.

Simply Red will split up after 25 years with a final gig at London's 02 in December.

Mick will then replace ROD STEWART as frontman of re-formed 70s supergroup THE FACES. He will join RONNIE WOOD, 63, KENNEY JONES, 61, and IAN McLAGAN, 65.
