Karen Clifton pictures: Strictly star wows in gold bikini as she looks forward to new year

Karen Clifton posted a sexy snap on Instagram yesterday showing off her incredible dancer’s physique in a gold bikini.

The professional dancer, who was partnered with Casualty star Charles Venn on the most recent series of Strictly Come Dancing, took to the social media site to share a picture from her sunny holiday with her 156,000 followers.

The 36-year-old star can be seen lifting her hands in the air and walking along the sunny beach, showing off her toned bottom in the tiny two-piece.

Karen, who announced her separation from husband and fellow dancer Kevin Clifton in March last year, appears to be in good spirits and looking forward to the year ahead.

She captioned her image, posted on New Year’s Day: “This is just the beginning…”

Karen and Kevin joined the cast of the BBC ballroom dancing show back in 2012 and were married three years later.

They officially separated after almost three years of marriage.

The Venezuelan dancer is rumoured to be dating again and was pictured with her new man, opera singer David Webb, on Boxing Day before jetting off to a sunnier climate for her winter getaway.
