Candice Swanepoel says she ran into SHARKS when posing in a skimpy green bikini while visiting a remote tropical island

Candice Swanepoel had a close call with a group of sharks during a photo shoot in the ocean by a remote tropical island.

The Victoria’s Secret Angel, 35, wore a tiny green gingham bikini featuring a strapless bra-style top and high-waisted bottoms reminiscent of the style popular in the 1980s.

A necklace with a large seashell encircled her neck as she struck various poses in the water and looked very serene.

Candice – who attended the Cannes Film Festival in May – shared three images and a short video revealing three sharks swimming in the ocean near the model.

‘Kind of blue,’ the post’s caption read with a wave and a seashell emoji added.

In the short video the trio of sharks swam around each other close to the ocean floor.

Candice didn’t offer a reaction to seeing the sharks so close to her.

The new bikini snaps come after the native of South Africa ushered in the ‘Bombshells in the Wild’ issue for V Magazine.

She appeared on the cover with fellow Victoria’s Secret veterans Kate Upton, 32, and Daiane Sodre, 31.

Swanepoel displayed her toned tummy in high-waisted leggings and a matching sports bra.

Her voluminous, wavy, golden blonde locks spilled around her face and over her chest.

Swanepoel, who founded the swimwear range Tropic of C, played up her stunning looks with shimmery orange-hued eyeshadow.

In the accompanying interview, she said about the photo shoot: ‘It was actually a really pleasurable day.
