The Strictly Come Dancing professional dancers are reaching the end of their successful tour, which has taken them all over the country during the month of May.
On Monday, however, the group enjoyed a rare day off ahead of their show in Bournemouth on Tuesday and headed to the beach for some seaside fun.

In two snaps shared to her grid, taken by good friend Gorka, the 41-year-old could be seen posing up a storm in a mustard string bikini which perfectly showed off her toned physique.

Taking to her comments, friends and fans were quick to compliment her look, with Kirsty Gallagher calling her "stunning" whilst another simply wrote: "Soooo stylish & a tad stunning!!"
