Nicole Scherzinger strips to bikini for ocean dip in Vine video: watch

Nicole Scherzinger shows off her fun-loving side, not to mention her impressive bikini body, as she goes for a swim in the ocean in a new Vine video.

The X Factor judge can be seen running down a Florida beach in her swimwear and taking an elegant dive into the waves in the six-second Twitter clip.

After a quick splash around, she returns to dry land and does a playful leap in front of the camera.

"I love the ocean! I got to go play in the Florida water before my gig tonight," she wrote when uploading the video.

Scherzinger recently admitted that she is "not cool" with Twitter, saying: "I try my best but I'm a one-on-one person and I don't want to tell people I'm on the toilet or I just brushed my teeth."
