Carol Vorderman is 'on top of the world' in Portugal after mental health update

Carol Vorderman has shared a sunny holiday snap after revealing that she went through a tough time at the end of 2021.

In an Instagram post this morning (Monday, January 17), the 61-year-old, who lives in Clifton, said that she felt "on top of the world", and shared some impressive fitness figures with her 200,000 followers on the app.

The maths expert seems to be in high spirits as she spends time at a yoga and fitness retreat, buried deep among the Portuguese mountains and forest.

She wrote in the post: "Hello from Juicy Oasis Portugal where I'm on top of the world. @juicemasterretreats @jasonvale

"Walked 70 miles this week and now upped it to 12 miles a day... in my favourite trainers @inov_8.

"Lots of spa baths and massages too....yessssssssss.

"Thank you everyone for helping me out yesterday with links BUT stupid me by the time I got to the link to the identical trainers (many are similar) they'd all sold out....

"Anyway, I'll wait and try again. Maybe I should try to buy next time before I post and create a rush!!! Ha I'm an idiot,

"Anyway off we go again #walking #hiking".

At the start of the month, Carol had shared with her followers that she had been suffering from what she suspected to be Seasonal Affective Disorder, also known as 'winter depression'.

She said: "Hello lovelies and hello new followers.... Had such a top New Year......

"I think I was going through a bit of Seasonal affect [sic] Disorder (S.A.D.) where you get lowish through lack of light....I mean December wasn't exactly awash with sunshine!!!!

"Had a few days in my beloved West Wales and BOOOOOMMMMM she's back in the room...."
