Carol Vorderman has been documenting her impressive weight loss journey after dropping a dress size in just two weeks.

The 61-year-old has been active on social media while staying at a fitness retreat in Portugal as posted selfies flaunting her toned abs in bikinis and gym gear.

The Countdown legend says she's feeling confident after losing 'half a stone' in just a fortnight - and even managed to fit into a pair of tiny denim hot pants that she hadn't worn "in a few years."

Staying at the exclusive Juice Master retreat Juicy Oasis in the heart of Portugal, the mum-of-two has been taking her fans along with her on the journey. She told her Twitter followers she was feeling "stronger, more flexible and happy as can be".

She has also been following a juice diet made up of "the finest freshly extracted juices and blends", designed to rejuvenate and detox the body.

However, she has still managed to enjoy meals out and take advantage of the Portuguese cuisine. Taking a couple of days off from the cleanse, she enjoyed a squid and prawn kebab overlooking the beaches of Nazare, taking a quick video for her Instagram followers.

These two changes have seen her shed the weight, while her "other half here" Jules has dropped two dress sizes.

Founded by bestselling author and wellness guru Jason Vale, Juicy Oasis is one of three Juice Master getaways designed to help people improve their overall health and fitness.

It promises to positively change the way someone feels, physically and mentally, in "just seven days".
