Karen Clifton works very hard to maintain her figure and often shares her gruelling daily workouts with fans on Instagram. The Strictly dancer makes sure she stays in tip top shape, even when she's not filming for the BBC One dance competition. But on Monday night, Karen gave fans a glimpse into her downtime as she shared a very intimate photo of herself relaxing in the bath.

The 37-year-old revealed that she was soaking her aching body in an Epsom salt bath, which many people use to help relax muscles and loosen stiff joints. Karen has been working her body hard as she is currently performing in the Strictly Come Dancing – The Professionals Tour. Posting the stunning black and white image on Instagram, Karen can be seen holding her leg up to her face as she appears to try and stretch out her muscles. Captioning the image, she said: "Contemporary Bath", followed by a series of hashtags, including, "#dancerslife #epsomsaltbath #aches #recovery #maintenance #dancingmachine."
