Former Arsenal and England footballer Alex Scott has been enjoying some R & R after the Strictly Come Dancing tour.

The tour, which comprised 33 dates over two months, finished earlier this month, after which Scott headed for Portugal and some sun.

She wrote on Instagram: "I can’t thank you enough @jasonvale once again you offered me some time away to switch off, get some goodness in my body and recharge."

Fellow sports presenter Gabby Logan commented on the post and wrote: "I am booking this place soon....I now know the secret to your glow x"

Scott and her Strictly partner Neil Jones reached the quarter-finals of Strictly in December.
