TV star Gemma Atkinson, 35, took to social media last night to share pictures from her relaxing winter break in Spain.
The 2017 finalist, and star of the Strictly Christmas Special, showed off her incredible bikini body in a snap, which was shared with her 1.3 million Instagram followers on Saturday.
The former soap star and her boyfriend Gorka Márquez, 29 - a professional dancer on the BBC ballroom dancing show - headed to his hometown of Bilbao, Spain, to spend time with his family during the festive season.
The TV and radio star, who is currently on maternity leave from her regular Hits Radio breakfast show following the birth of her first child in July, made the most of the warm weather by heading to the pool.
The fitness fan, who regularly documents her trips to the gym on social media, showed off her toned figure in a stylish black bikini, just five months after giving birth.
Gemma and Gorka, who met on the BBC show, are parents to a daughter called Mia.
Eagle-eyed viewers will see the adorable youngster make an appearance on TV, when her parents star in the Christmas Special of Strictly Come Dancing - dancing together on television for the very first time.
In the snap, which was posted online yesterday, Gemma can be seen leaping into the air in the middle of the swimming pool.
With her arms high above her head, the fresh-faced actress sported a big grin on her face.
Clearly impressed with herself, she captioned the image: “Chuffed.”

Gemma took to Instagram yesterday to talk about her fitness training and how it had changed following the birth of her daughter.
She said she had a newfound “respect and appreciation” for her body and was mentally stronger.
She went on to say: “When I train, I flood my body with endorphins and it makes me feel positive, energised and happy."
She added: “I don’t starve myself or rely on any ‘quick fixes’ I eat well, exercise and work hard like everyone else has to.”
