Danish model Helena Christensen stunned fans at the weekend as she shared photos and a video following a Christmas outdoor dip.
In the images, the 52-year-old looked gorgeous as ever in a red one-piece swimsuit which had a delicate frill around the bust and the back.

The star let her curly brown locks flow loose and looked a little nervous as she climbed a ladder down into the freezing water.
In the accompanying video, she gasped as she entered the water and started to splash about.
Meanwhile, a male voice off-screen could be heard teasing Helena, saying "It's fine!"

Other fans wrote: "Omgggggg!!! Happiest birthday," "You are the coolest. Happy Birthday," and: "You're crazy! Happy Birthday!"

Helena shot to fame as a supermodel in the 1990s and earlier this year, her lookalike son Mingus made his catwalk debut.
Modelling an oversized black t-shirt, draped parachute trousers and a striking fringed scarf, the 21-year-old walked in Tommy Hilfiger’s London Fashion Week show back in February.
Appearing at the high-profile event, Mingus - who has previously modelled for Calvin Klein - was in good company as he joined the likes of Naomi Campbell and Winnie Harlow on the runway.
