The former Countdown co-host, who appeared on the Channel 4 game show for 26 years, sent fans wild after showing off her youthful figure in a picture taken more than 10 years ago.
The 62-year-old TV star is no stranger to flaunting her gym-honed body as she posed in her bikini whilst appearing on I'm A Celebrity... South Africa. Carol joined the all-star series alongside past campmates including Helen Flanagan, Joe Swash and winner Myleene Klass before she was eliminated in ninth place alongside former royal butler Paul Burrell.

The I'm A Celeb star shared a photo of herself smiling into the camera whilst holding a mug as she wore a dark green bikini and her hair in beach waves.
Explaining the picture, Carol told her 348,000 Instagram followers: "In 2010 a friend of mine from NASA was so kind on his trip to the International Space Station and took up a few trinkets for my family including this photo of me. He took a photo of the photo in the ISS with earth behind and I treasure it. It means "I've sunbathed in space". Ha.
She then went on to say: "Cut to 2023 and a beloved astronaut friend of mine (formerly NASA and legendary) is now the Chief Astronaut for Axiom Space. I'm off to see his launch scheduled for November. So he's said he'll take something up to the ISS for me this time. I've decided to choose a ring…
"The problem is I don't have one!!! As you know I'm allergic to wedding rings and useless at choosing things, so can you help? Send me some ideas in the comments and tell me where they're from, I’ll take a look… very exciting."
In response to her sizzling snap and space story, Carol's followers soon took to the comments to compliment the star.

danny__levett commented: "Well you are out of this world @carolvorders," as @therealjuliabradbury joked: "Only you," alongside a laughing face and heart emoji."
In response to her question of what ring she should take to space, some followers joked: "Haribo ring. See how long it can last!".
@nayff1 suggested: "Buy a ring with asteroid rock as the stone, send it up with him and the asteroid has then made a round trip to earth and back to space."
Whilst @rambling_richie agreed: "Take a piece of asteroid - it will be the only rock ever to come from space, go back into space and return to earth."
