Louisa Warwick shows off her lithe frame in a bikini

She was enjoying her last day in sun-drenched Miami, after a week of showcasing her enviable model body – and extensive bikini collection.

But former Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model made Sunday’s beach trip a memorable one, when she hit the sands in an animal print two piece. 

The statuesque 25-year-old’s showed off her lithe physique as she put on a playful display at the shoreline, enjoying the cool waters for a few more hours.

The bombshell – who was a star of the 2012 series – looked set for a swimwear shoot in her snakeskin tie-up bottoms and bandeau-style matching top.

She looked carefree, kicking up her heels as she ran for the waters before stopping at waist height to cut her best angles. 

Letting her long blonde hair flow gracefully down her shoulders, Louisa went makeup free, doing her best to show off her natural good looks.

During her season on BINTM, then-18 year-old Letitia Herod was crowned winner, yet Louisa who has proved to be the true success story.

She has fronted campaigns for Cadillac, TRESemmé and Calvin Klein and landed covers and editorials in magazines such as Vigore, Company and L’Officiel.

Her rising stardom was quickly spotted by New York’s fashion elite, where she now currently resides.

Louisa is also a full-time sports management student at New York University – a result of her national cross-country champion honours for two years in a row.

The model hit headlines in March of last year when she accused former America’s Next Top Model judge Nole Marin of paying her for jobs with cheques that bounced.

Lawyer Mark Jay Heller, representing model Louisa, told the New York Daily News she had been mailed two cheques for more than $8,000 from the owner of Aim Model Management, but neither were able to be cashed.

A spokesperson for the agency said the blonde beauty ‘was released from her contract for cause’.

Despite the controversy, the model is high in demand and, according to Models On Trend, ensures she eats ‘three full meals per day’ and ‘works out 4 times per week’ to keep her figure in check.

However, she is a firm believer in inner confidence as she told Modellist ID: ‘I’m a strong believer that beauty comes from within – to look great in front of a camera I would say it is important to let your personality shine through.’
