While the majority of her celebrity counterparts appear to have headed home from their festive winter breaks, Victoria Silvstedt is continuing to soak up the Caribbean sunshine.
The model-turned-actress, 40, was spotted on the stunning francophone island of St Barts, where she took on her first paddle boarding lessons on Flamands Beach on Friday.
And while she may be a newcomer to paddle boarding, the curvaceous beauty proved she's no slouch in the fashion department, as she stepped out in a flattering powder blue string bikini.
