So Candice Swanepoel looks Sєxy even when she’s having her bum washed by a stranger

If you’re reading these words instead of looking at the pictures above and below them, then thank you – you’re very kind.

But if you’re not – don’t feel too bad about it. Because as pictures go, these really are pretty good ones.

Candice Swanepoel has been in St Barts this week (with Kate Moss), recovering from a bout of flu with some vitamin D. And posing for some Victoria’s Secret pictures at the same time. Which sounds like the exact opposite of what we want to do when we’re oozing phlegm and sweating. But then again, when we’re oozing phlegm and sweating, we don’t look like Candice Swanepoel.

Candice has been in St Barts since Wednesday, and judging from her Twitter account, she doesn’t object to it too much. “yummmm #nutellapizza,” the 24-year-old typed, which Gwyneth Paltrow probably wouldn’t approve of, before uploading a gazillion pH๏τos of herself and the other Victoria Secret models. Making the whole trip look more like a Gap Year holiday than anything to do with work.

Most depressingly of all, there isn’t a bit of phlegm in any of them.
