Carol Vorderman looked fabulous again in a throwback photo shared to social media at the weekend. The presenter and author retweeted a message from a fan that featured the star in four different eye-catching looks.

The original tweet understandably flattered the stylish star, reading: "So what I'm hearing is that Drag Race UK needs to do a Carol Vorderman realness challenge."

Four photos of the star then followed, including keen aviator Carol in a Top Gun-style flight jacket.

The first snap was especially lovely as it saw the 61-year-old beaming as she modelled a figure-flattering low-cut blue dress as she stood in front of a Countdown letters board – and she looked amazing.

Recently, fans of the show clamoured for Carol to return, this time as host, following the departure of presenter Anne Robinson, who helmed the show for a year.

Carol always looks stunning

Carol was the show's inaugural maths whiz, co-starring on the show from its start in 1982 until 2008, when she was replaced by Rachel Riley, who still holds the role.

After Anne revealed she was leaving, a fan campaign began to bring Carol back.

The mum-of-two was clearly touched by viewers' enthusiasm for her return, and thanked them on Twitter, where she wrote: "Thank you to all of you saying such lovely things about a possibility of me returning to Countdown.

"You're very kind & it would be an honour but I want to wish whoever is the lucky human to be the new host all the love and 9 letter words in the world #CountWell#HappyDays."

For most of her time on the show, Carol's co-host was Richard Whiteley, with whom she was good friends as well as colleagues until he sadly died in 2005.
