Bowled over! Josephine Skriver gets knocked over by ocean wave during Victoria's Secret bikini beach shoot

She's used to being a knockout in the looks department. 

However, it was Victoria's Secret model Josephine Skriver who found herself bowled over - literally - on Thursday as she did a sexy bikini photo shoot on the Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy.

The 22-year-old was trying to solve the age-old problem of cleaning off clinging sand, by splashing her skin with seawater.

However, as she had her back turned to the ocean, an unexpected strong wave knocked the 5ft 11in beauty clean off her feet.

She's seen suddenly plunged into the foam, in rather undignified style.  

Soaking both her and the assistant - who was clad in shorts and t-shirt, the beauty emerged from the unfortunate incident laughing in good humour.

Turn heads in a mixed print bikini like Josephine

The Victoria's Secret Angels have been let loose on the island of St Barts. And the latest to join the party is none other than Josephine Skriver.

The Danish beauty frolicked on the shores of the sunny destination in a mixed print bikini that showed off her enviable frame. We adore the vivid floral pattern combined with a monochrome dotted motif for a fun and playful look.

If you want a bit more coverage, especially on the bottom, then Josephine's two-piece is the way to go. Her exact swimsuit is not available yet - but click right to get one like it.

Certainly, she didn't manage to keep her long honey locks dry, which had been immaculately groomed into beach waves before getting a drenching.

She playfully rolled around in the sand before provocatively getting on all fours - gathering a coating of sand on the way.

Josephine strutted her stuff for the third time in the Victoria's Secret Fashion show, which was aired by CBS earlier this week. 

As well as her fellow Angels, she was joined onstage in the half-naked extravaganza - which was pre-taped November 10 - by Selena Gomez, Ellie Goulding, and The Weeknd.
