Carol Vorderman is unrecognisable with a perm in epic throwback with Heartbeat star

Carol Vorderman has rocked many changing looks over the years, but back in 1998, she modelled her most out-there look, with a head full of brunette curls.

The age-defying star appears to be getting more daring with her style as the years go on, but back in the late nineties she looked almost unrecognisable with an out-there perm.

The former Countdown star, 61, took part in Stars In Their Eyes alongside Heartbeat actress Trisha Penrose and taking to Twitter to reminisce on the fun times gone by, Trisha posted an unearthed snap from their time together on the show - much to the delight of Carol's adoring fans.

The epic throwback snap saw the two gorgeous gals modelling some fancy-dress outfits alongside stars Stephen Houghton and Frank Skinner.

Ever the glamour queen, Carol stole the show in a latex mini dress complete with fishnets tights.

The most daring part of her rig-out was of course her bouncy wig, which could have passed for her own head of hair.

Meanwhile, Trisha oozed glamour in a classic little black dress while Frank and Stephen rocked more questionable outfits in the striking throwback snap.

After laying eyes on the nineties throwback, fans flocked to compliment Carol on her edgy look.

"Carol looked amazing here! The black hair suited her so much," one Twitter user gushed.

"Oh my days, the glamour of those days gone," another echoed.

"Love the curls," chimed another, while someone else joked: "Thank heavens the days of the perm are gone."

The epic throwback snap comes after Carol recently shared her secrets to looking so young.

The 61-year-old revealed adding a spoonful of butter to her coffee helped transform her intermittent fasting routine.

"I tell you now I have never been less hungry in my life, because of a knob of butter in my coffee in the morning," Carol said.

"So I'm doing this intermittent fasting thing. I've gone 20 hours without food, not felt a little bit hungry and I'm now having proper bacon – not the rubbish kind – and fresh, fresh, local eggs, everything local and I can't wait.

She added: "And I'm dropping the weight. It's brilliant this."
