If the thought of returning to the office, Dry January and trudging to the gym to work off all those Christmas mince pies has you wanting to crumble on the floor and throw a tantrum, look no further than Alexa Chung's approach to entering the New Year.

While the rest of us are busy thoroughly avoiding January, the 34-year-old television presenter is throwing herself into 2018, quite literally.

Yesterday, the London-born star shared a video of herself jumping off a pretty high waterfall while on holiday with her famous friends, Nick Grimshaw and Pixie Geldof, in Mauritius.

Captioning the video, 'free navy blue jumpers down there', the clips sees the former model leap into the water in a nude-coloured bikini, seemingly unfazed by the jump.

The daring stunt comes days after the brunette star was named L'Oreal's newest International Spokesperson for 2018, with a role that primarily will involve promoting the Colour Me French Parisian Nudes hair colour collection.

Chung has been taking it easy since celebrating Christmas with her family in London, soaking up the sun rays on the island and regularly posting snaps of her beachy waves, fancy dress costumes and laid-back summer fashion.

Okay, so we're only a bit jealous of her holiday. And hair. And tan.

The list goes on.
