Gary Lineker and wife Danielle showed off matching perfect beach bodies on a romantic holiday in St Barts on Wednesday.

The super-fit couple took a stroll along the famous St Jean beach while enjoying their no-kids Caribbean getaway.

The lucky couple recently enjoyed a break in the Alps over Christmas with Danielle’s daughter Ella, 11, but were obviously hankering after some winter sun, and jetted off for some quality time together in St Barts.

St Barts is considered a playground of the rich and famous, especially as a winter haven, and is known for its beaches, gourmet dining and high-end designers.

Tourism attracts about 200,000 visitors every year. It has about 25 hotels, most of them with 15 rooms or fewer. The largest has 58 rooms.

Most places of accommodation are in the form of private villas, of which there are some 400 available to rent on the island.

The island’s tourism industry, though expensive, attracts 70,000 visitors every year to its luxury hotels and villas and another 130,000 people arrive by luxury boats.

The height of tourism is New Year’s Eve, with celebrities and the wealthy converging on the island in yachts up to 550ft in length for the occasion.
