In response to one fan, Carol revealed: "It's a programme which my trainers (they live together) Gus and Geeta have put together to get me through lockdown and back into the gym with them once lockdown is over.

"I'll ask them if I can tweet it once I've finished the first stage? Xxxx."

Carol also offered advice to one follower, who commented: "Wow! That’s amazing! I'm 60 myself and trying to get back into shape, and going on lots of walks but need to start working out again as well."

In response, the TV star wrote: "I think the walking is excellent and key but the weights make all the difference to strength so you can even walk better and more smoothly x."
