A Strictly Come Dancing star looks unrecognisable in a throwback snap shared to Instagram on Wednesday.
The dancer, now 82, took to her social media platform to embrace the sunnier weather and marked the moment with a swimsuit snap that was taken decades ago.
The TV personality looked incredible in a leopard print swimsuit and peach sarong and sported bright red hair as she posed on a balcony near a swimming pool.
She captioned the snap: ‘How it feels with the sun shining and mild temperatures today’.
The choreographer then revealed to a fan she still has the one-piece in her wardrobe all these decades on.
Can YOU guess who it is?

That’s right! It’s Arlene Phillips!
Arlene was famously one of the original judges on the BBC dance competition from its inception in 2004 until her exit in 2008.
It comes after Arlene gave her verdict on who she thinks should replace Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly, after the two presenters announced they were leaving Strictly.
The duo shocked the nation when they announced they would be leaving the show, after hosting it together for the past 14 years, with speculation immediately beginning over who would take over the reins.
During an appearance on Loose Women recently, panellist and fellow Strictly alum Oti Mabuse was quick to quiz her about who she’d recommend for the job.
The choreographer replied: ‘At first I thought it should be a non dancer, they’ll kind of be unbiased. There are enough dancers there criticising, and then I thought, no.
‘How do you replace people? Like Claudia is smart as a whip, funny and on It Takes Two, right at the beginning, it almost felt like we were making it up. Claudia nailed that show for everyone.
‘So that’s hard, but I think somebody like Hannah Waddingham would just fall into that. Smart, off the page, not like your normal human being. Fun, up for a joke.’

She continued: ‘Then I think someone kind of ditzy, and warm, and like the heart of the show’ before pointing at Oti and clarifying: ‘This one to my right’.
While Arlene also shouted out pal Layton for the job as she said: ‘Can I quickly mention – Layton Williams!’
