Enjoying the warm weather the one time Victoria’s Secret star stripped off to a flattering navy bikini which featured a cream flower in the centre and on the side of her hip.

Her stomach appeared completely flat and she was more than happy to have her toned arms and legs on show.

Helena recently revealed that although she was always taking pictures alongside modelling, she never really saw either as career.

Speaking to Vogue she said: ‘They were just interesting. I accept now that they were careers in the sense that I'm proud of having had those two jobs alongside each other.

‘I think, in the beginning, when you start modelling, you just see how it goes. It's an experience and an interesting journey. Photography was a much more personal thing.’

She also admitted that her photography had been influenced by those she had worked with over the years.

‘Irving would have you stand in the same position for 20 minutes. It was intense, you'd start shaking because your muscles would need to move,’ she told the magazine.

‘And right when you were about to faint, he'd take the picture. You had so much respect for him. He was really tall, like a messiah warrior.’
