Beach babes Danielle and Helena are visions in violet

Clearly the colour to be seen wearing on the beach this summer is purple. Gary Lineker's curvaceous fiancée Danielle Bux hit the shore in Dubai alongside her man in a deep purple bikini. Model-turned-photographer Helena Christensen, 41, was sporting the same hued swimsuit on a holiday with U2 frontman Bono and his wife Ali in the West Indies.

Twenty-nine-year-old Danielle, who's just been confirmed as a celebrity contestant on the new series of culinary reality show Hell's Kitchen showed off her tanned, uber-toned beach bod in a halter-neck, side-tie affair while vacationing with the former football star in the United Arab Emirates.

Since she got together 18 months ago with the 48-year-old Match Of The Day host – who was looking equally trim in a pair of board shorts - the pair have enjoyed nine sunshine breaks together.

They've had three vacations in Gary's villa in Barbados, covered ground in Europe with trips to Miami, Rome and Vienna, and were on the Amalfi Coast when Gary popped the question in September.

One of the trips to Barbados last summer was to give their children - Gary has four sons George, Harry, Tobias, and Angus from his first marriage and La Senza model Danielle is mother to seven-year-old Ella - a chance to get to know each other.

They are no strangers to Dubai, either, having spent time there in January.
