She wowed on the dance floor in her skimpy costumes, showing off her skilful moves.

And now Strictly Come Dancing winner Aliona Vilani has flaunted her killer curves on the beach.

The 27-year-old Russian was spotted in a blue and purple printed string bikini in Miami, Florida, during a Christmas trip with her parents.

A dancer's figure: Strictly Come Dancing winner Aliona Vilani, partner of McFly's Harry Judd, lapped up the sun in Miami with her parents

After a dip in the ocean, the redhead donned a bucket hat to protect herself from the harmful rays before lying on a sun lounger.

But despite living and dancing in the U.S. since she was 13, Aliona, who took the Strictly title with McFly's Harry Judd last weekend, thought she wouldn't be recongnised during her break.

Relaxing: Aliona said she thought she wouldn't get recognised in the U.S. and ventured out without brushing her hair, when fans asked for autographs

She shared a funny story about her success across the Atlantic.

'Walking around shopping with parents...mom turns and asks 'ummm are u gonna brush your hair today?'...I go 'ma who cares :-) I'm resting,' she wrote on Twitter.

' I go 'to tell you the truth ma it's so nice to just do whatever you want when no one around knows you'...mom 'I can see that lol'...

Enjoying her time off: The very bronzed redhead cooled off with a dip in the sea before retiring to the sun lounger

'Seriously 5 min later as we're crossing the road 3 lovely couples start to shout 'omg can we have a picture, can't believe.....'

'I look at my mom and think 'are you kidding lol this is not happening'...Moral of this story kids, listen to your mom and brush your hair.'

She added later: 'Keep meeting lovely fans in Miami, thank god my hair is brushed lol...my dad couldn't believe it all (like me) and started to cry with pride.'
