Carol Vorderman shimmies in 'old' dress as she shows off glam makeover

Countdown legend Carol Vorderman has shown off a glam new look with her social media following, and fans can't get enough. The 61-year-old, who lives in Clifton, jumped on Instagram to flaunt her incredible makeover, which she had done in preparation for filming.

Prior to the makeover, a barefaced Carol can be seen pointing at the camera, before smacking it away gently to reveal an 'after' shot. The Pride of Britain Awards presenter glowed as she shimmied, causing her freshly curled hair to bounce on her shoulders as she showed off her new look.

Carol had swapped the cream-coloured oversized jumper in the 'before' clip for a tight-fitting stripy dress with long sleeves, to keep her both warm and stylish. Her existing features had been accentuated with a full face of makeup, including immaculate eyeliner and dewy foundation.

Showing off her new look with a 'before and after' reel on Instagram, Carol announced to fans that she was all glammed up for an exciting new project. Carol wrote: "Filming today for something fun launching Monday 9th January.

"Get the date in your calendar and I’ll be announcing more information… very soon! Guess what I’m working on in the comments."

In the comments beneath Carol's transformation video, fans let the star know just how good she looked, with Bristolian presenter Josie Gibson commenting a series of heart eyes emojis. When Carol was asked by one fan about where her dress was from, she revealed that it was a 'very old' Karen Millen dress.

"You're so beautiful @carolvorders," said Keith. "And you have the most amazing figure. Sending lots of love to you. I love both the before and after clips."

Jeff said: "With or without make up, still beautiful."

"Drop dead gorgeous," said Claire. "LOVE the dress!!"

Carol has recently returned to work after she came down with the flu, causing her to take some time away from television commitments as she recovered. Last week, the maths whizz appeared on This Morning to share her thoughts on the first three episodes of 'Harry & Meghan'.
