Carol Vorderman wowed as she unveiled the outfit she has worn for an upcoming instalment of Celebrity Puzzling. The TV star is set to appear as usual on the weekly Channel 5 game show on Wednesday evening.
In a post on Instagram, Carol, 65, shared a series of photos from her latest stint on the programme, which sees two pairs of celebrities pitted against one another to solve a series of puzzles and challenges. In the first couple of shots, she posed backstage in a green, long-sleeved sequinned midi-dress from Self-Portrait and nude Zara heels.
The mother-of-two, who will compete as a team captain alongside celebrity contestant Ian ‘H’ Watkins, also shared several behind-the-scenes photos. That included a group shot with host Jeremy Vine and their competition – celebrity contestant Olly Smith and Carol’s regular opposing team captain Sally Lindsay.
Captioning the carousel, which has received more than 1,650 ‘likes’, she wrote: “Pure pop brilliance on my team tonight with @ianhwatkins and opposite us it’s the wonderful @ollysmith with @sallylindsay73. The energy is sky high! Pour a drink, grab a pen and join us at 7pm on @channel5_tv @brightentertainmentuk with @thejeremyvine.”

Health routine
It comes after Carol told Saga magazine in October that she strives to be a ‘size 9’ – which is slightly small than a size 10 – and keeps tabs on how her clothes fitted rather than weighing herself. She said: “I literally have not weighed myself since 1999. I just thought, ‘What is the point?’ It was stupid things like people standing on tiptoes to weigh themselves or not weighing yourself at night and I just didn’t want to become a slave to that.”

She added: “I know if I put on weight because my clothes are tighter and I vary between a size 9, as I call it, and an 11…I’m at the lower end of my size right now, and I’m very happy about that. I know making little tweaks to my diet or walking more will help me feel better in my mind and how my clothes fit.”
In 2024, Carol shared with the same publication her approach to nutrition and exercise. “I generally have one meal a day – late afternoon – and I do three 45-minute sessions in the gym a week, which I love. Lots of squats for the bum,” she explained, adding that she also likes to snack on raw sprouts and relies on a “good bra and jeans that hold you up”.
