Carol Vorderman has swapped her luxury mansion for a swish campervan.
The 60-year-old has splashed out on a £40,000 motorhome after leaving her stunning home when she put it on the market for £2.6m. And she is now focussing on decking-out a bespoke new holiday home on wheels to enjoy plush staycations.

Carol decided to put her her beloved mansion Sloblock Hall up for sale in Bristol last year. She revealed the name was a Countdown anagram of "B*****ks" Hall - and is now heading for a life on the open road.
The mum-of-two, who also has a home in her beloved Pembrokeshire, is now set for a new challenge as she converts her new MAN TGE van into a motorhome she dubbed "Vordersvan."
The vans sell as new for between £38,000 and £47,000 depending on if it is automatic or manual transmission. Sharing a photo of her van, she said: "Yesssssss… Van alert… My baby @vordersvan is on her way from @volkstrek with her new wheels… Just look at the raised chassis on that one then… booommm.
"Next stop is Wayne and Jade at @vanlifebuilds to make her glorious for me and my adventures."
She has already tried out the fittings available for her life on the road, including wood burning stove, roof-top seating and a hammock.
She said: " I definitely want a wood burner in our van - we are gonna have lots of adventures.
"Bed at the back. Stand on it and climb through the skylight. Benches that fold up and down to sit on the roof... imagine our views from there."
The TV star, who shot to fame as the mathematician on Countdown, has said that one day she will move back to Wales permanently as she was recently splitting her time between Bristol, Cardiff and West Wales.
Carol grew up in Denbighshire and has often gushed about how much she loves Wales on her social media. She is also an avid Welsh rugby fan and attends many of the matches.
