Last night she showed off her fantastic figure in a bright orange dress and today Carol Vorderman continued highlighting her curves.

The 51-year-old star stepped out in the sunshine following a transformation after taking a seat in the hair and make-up chair at the ITV studios.

Vorderman, who presents daytime show Loose Women, arrived for work looking a little tired and dressed casually but left with a huge smile on her face wearing a low-cut shirt.

The mother-of-two clearly didn't bother making much effort with her appearance when she left the house this morning as she knew that the hair and make-up team would work their magic.

However, she still decided to show off her figure in a pair of tight-fitting blue jeans and a clingy grey T-shirt.

The former Countdown star appeared to be in good spirits as she waved to the camera but kept a pair of aviator sunglasses firmly in place - perhaps hiding the telltale signs of a late night.

As she tottered inside the building wearing a pair of peep-toe heels, Vorderman looked ready for her slot on the panel show.

When she emerged a few hours later, the brunette's figure-hugging jeans and khaki shoes were still in place but her boring T-shirt has been replaced by a structured white blouse.

All made up: The 51-year-old no longer needed her sunglasses as she left work in her tight-fitting top

The V-neck garment highlighted Vorderman's bust and also featured volumised sleeves.

Obviously feeling a lot more confident, the TV star wore her sunglasses on top of her head ensuring that she could show off her made-up face.

Vorderman is no stranger to wearing low-cut garments and last night wowed onlookers in a floor-length dress at The British Inspiration Awards.

While many Britons were busy stripping off their clothes to take advantage of the sunshine, one person stayed covered up.

Carol Vorderman was spotted leaving the ITV London Studios this afternoon in some very tight fitting clothing.

The 51-year-old defied the hot temperatures and chose to wear a pair of clingy jeans that left very little space to manoeuvre.

Looking good: Carol Vorderman sported a rather tight fitting military green top with jeans, in London, today

Carol, who found fame on the Channel 4 quiz show Countdown, looked great in the torn Diesel denim but would have perhaps felt cooler in a knee-length skirt or something looser.

She teamed her trousers with another figure hugging item of clothing which clung to her chest.

The mother-of-two showed off her curves in a lace up military green top that put extra emphasis on her ample cleavage.

She hid her face behind her fringe and a pair of large sunglasses and also colour coordinated her peep-toe heels.

As Carol stepped into her waiting her car, her award winning derriere was on show for all to see as she was whisked home.

Earlier this week, she revealed one of the ways she keeps her body in good shape and manages to defy the effects of time.

Fed up with wearing glasses, Carol decided to opt for laser surgery, and discovered a procedure called laser blended vision.


Rear-ly rewarding: Carol showed off her award winning derriere as she hopped into the back seat of her chauffeur driven car

With the new technique, one eye is set to see things close with just a slight blurring at distance and the other is set to see things in the distance with only a slight blurring for near vision.

Carol said: 'The brain is used to seeing things in a binocular fashion and suppressing any blurring in one or the other eye, so usually people adapt to this well.'

The procedure, which was first introduced in 2003, takes only minutes and the patient can go home 20 minutes later.

She added: 'Before my fading eyesight was affecting everything. Now I can just pick up anything and read it straight off — for me, this has been like a miracle.'

Hourglass: Carol Vorderman highlighted her stunning figure with a cinch belt as she left a restaurant after dinner in London last night

She has a figure that women half her age would be envious of and Carol Vorderman is more than happy to show it off.

The TV presenter was in high spirits as she attended 34 restaurant in London last night with racing entrepreneur Jonathan Palmer but it is doubtful she filled up on a big meal as Carol sported a tight cinch belt to highlight her hourglass shape.

Miss Vorderman dressed up for the evening in a cleavage-baring Roland Mouret dress and heels and despite the cold London weather, didn’t feel the need to wear the coat she was carrying.

Mind the step! Carol makes her way carefully out of 34 restaurant last night after a four hour dinner

Gold jewellery including a ring, earrings and bangle finished off her fashionable look.

Carol, 51, and Mr Palmer spent four hours at the posh eatery, arriving at 7.30pm and leaving again after 11.30pm in his chauffeur driven Mercedes.

The evening clearly went well though as the pair were in great spirits, smiling for waiting photographers and sharing a joke in the back seat of his car as they left.

Carol was carrying a number of large books as she left and her manager John Miles confirmed the pair were having a business meeting.

He told MailOnline: 'Carol and Jeff were discussing a Formula 2 racing project which may or may not come off, it's not for TV though.

'People may not know this about Carol but she loves motor racing so if it's anything to do with motor racing she loves to get involved.'

Night on the town: TV presenter Carol's dress highlighted her ample assets as she left the restaurant

This was the second night out in a row for the busy mother-of-two as she spent Monday night at kinky Soho club The Box.

On that occasion she opted for a short sexy dress that showed off her curvy figure, teaming it with knee high boots and a black coat to protect her modesty as she attended a Kasabian performance at the club.

Despite attempting to leave The Box unnoticed by using the back entrance, where she had a car waiting, Carol - who wore her brunette locks down and carried a simple gold clutch bag - was in high spirits at the end of the night.

She's made a name for herself as a TV star with plenty of brains behind her beauty.

But perhaps Carol Vorderman wasn't quite with it when she decided to rent a huge yacht.

The 51-year-old posted a picture of the large vessel to her Twitter page, proudly announcing it was moored at the Bristol docks.

I'll just leave it here for a bit: Carol Vorderman is renting a yacht which she has left moored at Bristol's waterfront

However, it's hardly the weather for a sun-drenched cruise across the bay.

In fact, it's pretty miserable across the British Isles with rain and grey skies dominating this weekend.

That won't put Carol off though, the former Countdown presenter always seem to be of a sunny disposition.

Cloudy days: The TV presenter's yacht won't come into use until the weather gets better

Earlier this week Miss Vorderman made headlines when she left the ITV Studios, after filming Loose Women, wearing a tight-fitting red dress that accentuated her rather shapely rear.

The next day she was seen celebrating a win on the horses while at the Cheltenham Races with Michelle Mone.

Carol credits her good looks to genes alone, telling Piers Morgan: 'When it comes to surgery though, I won’t even get involved with it all.


Red alert: Carol was pictured in a figure-hugging number earlier in the week


Bottoms up: The 51-year-old has flaunted her large rear this week

'It has been reported that I have had so much done and if it was all true I’d look a lot better than I do.'

Speaking on an episode of the new Life Stories series, Carol added: 'How you look now has become ridiculously disproportionate to what you do. Critics are more harsh on female presenters.

'When you type, "mutton dressed as lamb" into Google, I’m the first 10 pages. I don’t mind it being written, it goes over my head.

'People think I’m glamorous but in fact I love going back to Bristol and having no make-up for four days.'

Carol's got back! Ms Vorderman showed off her shapely rear in a clingy red dress as she headed to the TRIC awards this afternoon

She won the Rear of the Year last year, and judging by these pictures it's really not hard to see why.

Carol Vorderman showed off her incredibly shapely rear in a very clingy red lace dress as she left the ITV studios this afternoon and headed over to the TRIC Awards.

The 51-year-old presenter displayed her enviable womanly figure in the sexy outfit, which clung to her curves, and teamed the ensemble with a pair of nude heels and black belt to cinch her in at the waist.


Carol also debuted a choppy new hair 'do as she made her way to the Grovesnor House Hotel for the awards after presenting ITV lunchtime show Loose Women.

Brunette Carol has spoken previously about her behind, admitting that a prominent derriere runs in her family.

She told the Mail in an interview two years ago: 'We all have, in my family, what we call the 'Vorderman bottom' - a sticky out, bigger-than-normal, signature, of the rear variety.

Perfect from every angle: The dress highlighted Carol's enviable womanly figure


'It's been a family joke all our lives - even my lovely brother has one. I know the lines to all the good singalong big bum songs.'

Carol has attracted criticism in the past for dressing too young for her age, but in a recent interview the mother-of-one insisted she is proud of her appearance.

She told Piers Morgan's Life Stories: 'How you look now has become ridiculously disproportionate to what you do. Critics are more harsh on female presenters.


Quick change! Carol wore a different lime coloured dress on Loose Women before changing into her TRIC Awards outfit

'When it comes to surgery though, I won’t even get involved with it all. It has been reported that I have had so much done and if it was all true I’d look a lot better than I do now.'

And Carol added that when it comes to being at home, there's nothing she likes better than being able to dress down.

She said: 'People think I’m glamorous but in fact I love going back to Bristol and having no make-up for four days.'

Has she or hasn't she? Carol Vorderman, 51, insists she has not been under the knife - pictured last month and earlier in 1985 at the beginning of her career

She may be the wrong side of 50.

But Carol Vorderman still looks a decade younger than she actually is.

Yet the Loose Women host insists she has never been under the knife, claiming she would look 'much better' had she endured plastic surgery.

Not bad for 51! Carol attends the National Television Awards in January
Carol, 51, revealed: 'When it comes to surgery though, I won’t even get involved with it all.

'It has been reported that I have had so much done and if it was all true I’d look a lot better than I do now.'

The former Countdown star, speaking on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, said: 'How you look now has become ridiculously disproportionate to what you do. Critics are more harsh on female presenters.'

Moving on: Carol looked fresh-faced posing with new Countdown presenter Des Lynam in 2005 after he took over from the late Richard Whiteley

She bemoaned: 'When you type, "mutton dressed as lamb" into Google, I’m the first 10 pages. I don’t mind it being written, it goes over my head.

'People think I’m glamorous but in fact I love going back to Bristol and having no make-up for four days.'

The Bedford-born beauty must be doing something right though, having beaten Pippa Middleton's famous derriere to the coveted spot of Rear Of The Year 2011.

Regrets? Carol agreed to be photographed without make-up in 1998

At the time she said: 'I am really surprised and flattered to get this award, particularly at this stage of my life.

'I always suspected there were a lot of people out there who were glad to see the back of me, so this has turned out to be very funny indeed.'

Following the filming, Piers tweeted about the 'inspiring' interview.

He wrote: 'Just finished taping 1st show of new #LifeStories with @carolvorders - emotional, funny, heartbreaking & inspiring.'

The full interview will be broadcast on ITV1 later this year.

The best year of my life: Carol Vorderman began 2011 as a size 10 (left), but is now a size 12 (right)


Turning 50 may have given her a new lease of life but Carol Vorderman has confessed it has come at a price – her slim figure.

The star admitted she has put on weight because she has been having such a good time socialising in the year since her milestone birthday.

Miss Vorderman, now 51, had prided herself on her hourglass size 10 figure but has revealed she has gone up a dress size because of her hectic social life.


‘My problem is that I’ve been socialising quite a lot with friends recently,’ she told Woman & Home magazine.

‘When I get tired, I start eating things that I wouldn’t normally crave, like biscuits, because they’ll give me a bit of energy to keep going.

‘I haven’t weighed myself for 12 years, but I know from my clothes I’ve gone up a dress size.

‘It’s so easy to do – and I don’t regret it because I’ve been having a great time! But I do know it’s time to take myself in hand now.’

The TV presenter added that turning 50 had changed her outlook on life and is now having more fun.


To hell with the extra weight: Miss Vorderman has decided to have more fun since turning 50

Family time: Carol on her 50th with her mother Jean Davies and children Katie and Cameron

She also told how she was happy living the single life and - after two divorces - doubted she would ever marry again.

She explained: ‘Since I turned 50, I’ve had the best year of my life and I now throw as much effort into the social side of my life as I do work – more so now than ever before.’

Miss Vorderman, who has two children Katie, 20, and Cameron, 15, underwent a detox in a bid to get back to her old size.


Holding back the years: The former Countdown star admitted she was thinking about having cosmetic surgery

Screen star: Miss Vorderman is now co-anchor of ITV lunchtime show Loose Women

She also confessed she was considering cosmetic surgery and is getting laser eye surgery because she is fed up with wearing glasses.

‘I’m planning a little rejuvenation for myself this year,’ she said. ‘I want to fix the things that need fixing. I’m quite lazy, but I do want to get fit and start going to the gym.

‘I’m a bit frightened of the idea of a full facelift because, when you look in the mirror, you want to look like yourself.

But I’ll get little things done; I might have an eyelift if I feel I need one in the future, and the lasers that smooth your skin – I’m comfortable with the idea of trying all that.’

‘There are machines that can get rid of your cellulite, so I want to do that. And my friend has just had a machine that has worked on her neck and tightened the elasticity of the skin. You just need a day off work afterwards, so I’m thinking, why not?’

Miss Vorderman’s weight has yo-yoed over the years.

While she had a slim size eight figure when she was in her teens and early twenties, she ballooned to a size 16 during the late 1980s and 1990s.

She then slimmed down to a size 10 in 2003 and became a poster girl for the mid-life makeover.

Miss Vorderman produced a number of weight loss aids including work out videos and detox plans.

Two years ago she revealed she abandoned HRT after it caused her to pile on the pounds within a week of starting the treatment.

She's known for her groomed appearance, but Carol Vorderman was sporting a very different look yesterday.

The 51-year-old caused a Twitter storm with fans quick to comment on the Loose Women presenter's 'bed hair' and dark makeup when she appeared on the ITV show.

The drama even became a top trending topic on the social networking site

Causing a frenzy: Carol Vorderman tried out a messy bed hair look and dark eye makeup on Loose Women yesterday

Carol's brunette locks looked as though they hadn't been brushed and her smokey peepers were covered in black eyeliner and eyeshadow.

It was a far cry from her slick hairstyle and lighter makeup on Friday's show.

One viewer tweeted: 'Carol Vorderman looks like she's come straight from a night out.'


Interested: Several fans took to Twitter to comment on the new look, with it becoming a trending topic soon after

She's brushed her hair! Carol certainly looked more groomed on Friday's show

Another wrote: 'Carol looks like she's gone from a walk of shame straight on set.'

April Stone added: 'She looks like she's been dragged through a bush backwards.'

A show spokesman told The Sun in response to the comment: 'Carol is a complete professional. She was trying out a new haircut.'

Homebound: Carol continued to rock the bed hair as she left the ITV studios

As Carol left the ITV studios, she continued to rock her messy barnet, but had changed out of her figure-hugging blue dress.

She donned a blue jumper, jeans and an oversize coat.

The star paired it with lace-up black boots.

She's attracted criticism in recent months for dressing too young for her 51 years.

But Loose Women host Carol Vorderman is not letting her critics change her sense of style, stepping out yesterday wearing yet another figure-hugging dress.

The presenter looked stunning in the red outfit, which featured a thick black waistband and sleeve detailing, as she left the ITV studios yesterday.

Lady in red: Carol Vorderman ignored her style critics yesterday as she stepped out wearing a figure-hugging red dress

Carol teamed the dress with a pair of black opaque tights, ankle boots and a thick sheepskin jacket to keep her warm in the chilly temperatures.

Last year, Carol was forced to hit out at her style critics, after being accusing of being too old to wear skinny jeans.

She said at the time: 'If I told a 50-year-old man he had to wear baggy trousers and a golf sweater befitting his age, they’d think it was unfair and ridiculous.'

'So why is it that a woman of 50 suddenly isn’t supposed to step out in jeans? It’s my school run outfit and I feel comfortable in it. I was amazed - and very amused - by the fuss it caused.'

And who could blame Carol for wanting to display her figure, considering she is in such great shape.

Talking previously about how she monitors her weight, Carol said: 'Although my weight does fluctuate, I don’t own a pair of scales. I judge my weight on a pair of ­trousers which are utterly unforgiving.

Screen star: Carol went for a smoky eye look as she hosted Loose Women yesterday afternoon

'They are green, satin and made by ­Versace. I wore them once for a show and they looked amazing.

'I’ve used these trousers to judge my weight for the past ten years. They fit nicely if I’m a size 8 to 10 - so if I can’t pull up the zip, fasten the top button or even get them over my bum, I know I need to diet.'

Carol added in a separate interview: 'I believe that as you get older, you become less concerned about looks.

'I see far too many young women fretting about their imperfections, not knowing what delights nature will thrust upon them as the mileometer clicks on.'

Last night, as she stepped on to the red carpet, she surprised everyone with her saucy choice of dress and glamorous appearance at the National Television Awards.

Today, when many of the celebrity attendees were nursing hangovers, Carol Vorderman was showing off her great figure and amazing style once again.

The Loose Women panelist was back at her day job today and was pictured leaving the ITV studios with almost effortless style.

Still looking great: Carol Vorderman was dressed more modestly for her day job as a Loose Woman today in London

The 51-year-old wore a short grey dress that featured a clingy wrap style to it, that emphasised her great shape and unlike last night, covered her cleavage.

Last night the former Countdown presenter wore a dress that she recycled from another event she went to in 2010, and this afternoon she rocked the same hairstyle that had last night at the O2 Arena.

Carrying a small black rucksack, a large coat and a change of shoes, Vorderman knew she looked great and even stopped to pose for a few pictures too.

The wow factor: Carol looked so good that she even posed for a few quick pictures before heading off

The mother-of-two didn't hang around for too long, however, and jumped into a waiting car, but before she departed she couldn't help but show off one more of her great assets.

Carol showed exactly why she won the 2011 Rear of the Year Award as she turned around to put her things her car.

Vorderman previously made headlines when she poured her curves into the figure-hugging gown at the Rose D'Or awards in Switzerland in September 2010.

The Countdown star has previously said that when she finds a dress she loves, she'll wear it over and over again - famously quipping that she has her beloved Roland Mouret Galaxy dress 'down to a fiver' on a cost-per-wear basis.

Carol added to the sex appeal of the off-the shoulder dress with tousled hair and smokey eye make-up.

She left some of the younger attendees in the shade with her choice of dress as she poured her curves into the sultry number.

'I wish it would be Christmas every day': Carol Vorderman was wearing a Santa costume and clutching a glass of wine in the early hours of this morning


With a birthday on Christmas Eve, it's no surprise Carol Vorderman often combines the celebrations.

And just a few hours into her 51st birthday, the Loose Women panellist was clearly in good spirits as she posted a sexy photo on her Twitter page.

The TV presenter dressed in a sexy Santa costume as she partied until the early hours.


Clutching a glass of red wine and sat in front of a plate of chocolate cake, Vorderman showed off her ample curves as she stared into the camera.

She wrote: 'Pic.. 3am this morn after fancy dress Xmas/birthday party ... cheers.. "I wish it would be Xmas every day..."!! xx.'

Her short brown hair was curly and slightly dishevelled, but she could be forgiven for having a slightly messy 'do at 3am in the morning.

As a running joke throughout her birthday, Vorderman insisted she was actually 42, not 51.

She tweeted: 'I'm going backwards.... midnight tonight I'll be 42...

Girls' night: Vorderman out for a girlie dinner in London earlier this month


'Happy Birthday to me... Happy Birthday to me.... Happy Birthday ..... (complete as required!!) xx.

'Today's top song is ..... 42 today , 42 today, 42 a knock at the door, never been 42 before .... x ssssshhhhh.'

Divorcee Vorderman is spending Christmas at home in Bristol with her two children Katie and Cameron.

No doubt the highlight of her Christmas Day will be watching the Downton Abbey special.

Vorderman is staunch fan of the ITV period drama and has been telling the audience of Loose Women how excited she was about watching it.
