Former Emma Rigby is ready to take Hollywood by storm, and she's got the bikini body to prove it.

The British actress was snapped filming on location in Miami, looking smoking hot in a tasselled bikini and tiny denim hotpants.

Rigby - who also starred in Alfie Allen and Downton Abbey's Ed Speelers - tells the story of two university students who attempt to pull off a diamond heist.

According to Digital Spy, producer Terry Stone said: "Plastic is a fast-paced international thriller, it is a fascinating story of greed, wealth and the power of money.

"The cast are superb and bring together the right mix of intensity, intelligence and confidence required to tell this story, we can't wait to get started."

Miami Beach is a far cry from the mean streets of Chester, where Rigby played troubled teen Hannah Ashworth. But we doubt she's complaining.
