Gary Lineker's wife Danielle Bux shows off some nifty footwork of her own on the beach as she gives him a kick up the backside

He was his country's top scorer in his footballing days, but it was Gary Lineker's wife who displayed the sharper footwork in Barbados this week.

Danielle Bux, who now uses her husband's surname, kicked off a little Wales vs England tussle by giving her new husband a cheeky boot up the Arsenal.

Gary, 49, tried to mount a counter attack, but his wife's defence held firm and the former England and Spurs striker was left floundering in the sea, almost crashing to the ground in what could have well have been a yellow card offence.

Meanwhile Gary went topless in just a pair of Bermuda shorts in England's traditional team colours.

The TV presenter showed he has a pair of hands as safe as Peter Shilton's by holding on tight to his wife as they strolled along the white sandy beach. 

Danielle will no doubt be pleased to learn her native country is currently covered in a blanket of snow while she suns herself on the warm Caribbean beaches.

Teeny-weeny shrinking bikini: Danielle Bux goes from one-piece to itsy-bitsy swimwear

She started off her holiday in Barbados by wearing a tasteful bright red one-piece swimsuit.

However, over the past few days, Danielle Bux has discarded this for slightly more revealing attire.

The 30-year-old is in the Caribbean with her husband, Match Of The Day host Gary Lineker, 49, to celebrate the beach.

After looking stunning in a swimsuit, Welsh Danielle, who has taken her new husband’s surname, wore a blue bikini with white trimming – as well as a Cheryl Cole-style cowboy hat.

The couple, who married in September, were seen frolicking on the beach, as they lazed around on loungers in the sun – which must have seemed a million miles away from the dismal weather in the UK.
