Carol shared the glamorous photo to social media 

She wrote: "I'm very proud of our team and of all the work the children did through that time. I get young children coming up to me every week now and calling me 'Aunty Carol' and saying how they love maths…

"I'm getting ever deeper involved with education and have been giving a lot for bursaries for young people to study engineering for a while now. Young people from a similar background to me... state school and on free school meals. Young people who may otherwise not get a chance… Life is good."

The star's followers were full of praise for her endeavours and her outfit, with astronaut Tim Peake commenting: "Congratulations Carol, you are a fantastic STEM ambassador!"
