Olympic rower Helen Glover celebrated her hen do last night in Rio learning to samba with her friends from Team GB.
The double Olympic champion is due to marry television wildlife presenter Steve Backshall in Cornwall next month.

Ms Glover, 30, wrote: "A hen do in Rio with the rowing girls... what could go wrong?!"
The group were photographed with champagne flutes, L plates and tiaras, with a view of the city in the background.
