Carol Vorderman 'ageing like a fine wine' as I'm A Celebrity fans praise her appearance

I'm A Celebrity has returned to ITV with a brand new All Star series and viewers couldn't help but be distracted by Countdown legend Carol Vorderman.

In the first episode, the campmates were split into different groups and had to complete challenges to win stars for camp.

Former boxer Amir Khan, Carol and Diversity star Jordan Banjo were the first to take on a challenge before later meeting the rest of their campmates in camp.

However, as the trio took on the challenge, fans gushed over the 62-year-old's "ageless" beauty.

One viewer tweeted: "How is Carol Vorderman 63? She looks great!! #ImACeleb," and another wrote: "Carol Vorderman looking good for her age #ImACeleb."

A third asked: "How good is Carol looking 62 years old looking far far younger and so full of energy", while another added: "Wow, Carol Vorderman is ageing like a fine wine #ImACeleb #CarolVorderman.".

The campmates each completed their tasks before reuniting at camp and later being treated to a surprise by Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

Former campmate Gillian McKeith arrived in style hidden in a box, leaving the rest of her co-stars shocked.

Meanwhile, it was revealed before the All Star series aired that a royal row between Carol and Janice will rock the camp.

Viewers will see the model hit out at the Countdown legend's views on the monarchy.

A source told the Mirror ex-royal butler Paul Burrell and Helen Flanagan defended Carol.

The insider said: “It was a really explosive bust-up… Janice was effing and blinding. Janice can be quite abrasive and things got very heated.

“She said Carol’s views were old-fashioned and dated while Carol hit back that Janice was crass and obnoxious. She and Carol are both strong women with strong opinions. It was a personality clash that was bound to explode.”

On ITV ’s Lorraine, last week, Carol praised her time back in the jungle and told the host she had made firm friends.

But when quizzed about Janice, she replied: “We’ll not talk about her so much.”

ITV last night declined to comment on the royal bust-up.

I'm A Celebrity South Africa continues on ITV and ITVX on Tuesday at 9pm.
