On Boxing Day, Dani Menzies, who hosted the property show A Place in the Sun until 2022, went for a wild swim in a icy Scottish loch.
A Place in the Sun star Danni Menzie has stunned fans as she stripped off into a festive red bikini for a dip in a freezing Scottish Loch. The 37-year-old looked incredible as she braved the icy water for a wild swim, wearing just a Santa hat and a tiny two-piece swimsuit.
Danni, who left the popular Channel 4 property show in 2022, began her clip wearing a thick, white dressing-gown. But the star was exposed to the elements as she dropped the robe to enter the chilly waters.
She said over the video: “Christmas dip,” before removing her gown and wading into the water. She could be seen running back to shore, before appearing with her dressing gown back on again, wishing her fans a “Merry Christmas”.

In the comments section, Danni’s supporters praised her tolerance. “Definitely, tougher than me,” one wrote. Another continued, “I’ve done this at Taymouth on the slide and confirm it’s baltic.”
Danni, well done, third person added. I bet you it was “merry Christmas” or “baltic refreshing”. Another viewer was perplexed by her video, which read, “Merry Christmas, but I still can’t get my head round the cold swimming.” Enjoy your time”!
Danni, who left A Place in the Sun in 2022, as she wanted to explore new opportunities, has since found herself on a journey of personal growth. She told the Mirror: “Life’s had its ups and downs, to be honest. The first month after I left the show, I had the best working month of my life and I got some really amazing opportunities. I didn’t know what was going to happen next, and then I had this amazing month where I was like, ‘wow, everything’s going to be OK. The doors are opening.”
But just a few months later, in October of this year, she was involved in a horrifying moped accident, and Danni was suddenly “taken out” of the stolen car. She was knocked out, permanently infected, and suffering from PTSD. “Life kind of kind of stopped,” she said. After that, things were challenging for the last few years.
She later revealed that she had broken up with her ex-boyfriend the following day, telling the Sun’s Fabulous podcast, “He ended it the day after the accident via text when I looked like Shrek.” That was quite brutal. Both the accident and the injury were severe.
Danni later admitted she no longer felt comfortable with sharing photos on Instagram, despite having 135,000 followers. When she decided she was ready, she still used a photo-editing app to erase the scars.
She wrote, “What hurt you once made you stronger… once you saw the silver lining in your suffering.” Scars accomplish that purpose. They don’t have to dictate where we go; they just remind us of where we’ve been.
Danni previously discussed the impact her career had on her love life. Speaking to the Sun in March 2022, Danni said: “I’ve left the show about a month ago, I’ve done it for six years and it’s about time for a change and there were quite a few things that were hard to do when I was doing the show, like have a relationship.
Like when you go on a date, you don’t really pack your bag every week, so I just thought it was a good idea.
