It might be winter in the Northern Hemisphere but British beauty Liz Hurley single-handedly set the temperatures soaring when she posted a sexy Christmas card on her Instagram account this week.

The 49-year-old mother-of-one proved she's still as hot as ever when she posted a bikini-clad snap to wish her fans a Merry Christmas and to advertise that her swimwear label was having a sale.

"Check out www.elizabethhurley.com for bikinis and beachwear galore xxxx," she wrote alongside a pic of her wearing a red cut-out swimsuit and a Santa hat in front of a winter wonderland backdrop with polar bears, seals and llamas...

This isn't the only sexy snap Liz has posted this week, she also caused a stir when she posted a bath-time selfie, which showed off a hint of cleavage and a giant rock on her finger.

Perhaps Liz is trying to spice things up for her billionaire-beau, Evgeny Lebedev , whom she is believed to have been dating since March.

The newspaper tycoon - who is 14-years younger than Liz - owns the London Evening Standard and The Independent.
