Carol Vorderman dons curve-hugging bodysuit to Cheltenham after slamming Gareth Gates rumour

Carol Vorderman looked radiant as ever as she returned to Cheltenham Festival for a third day at the races.

Pride of Britain host Carol, 62, cut a glamorous figure as she accentuated her impossibly small waist in a light blue coat which she'd cinched in with a thick black leather belt.

She teamed the powdery wool jacket with black gloves, boots and handbag and a fur tippet which she draped over the coat's lapels.

Her appearance comes after she slammed claims she "cosied up" to Matt Hancock in the royal box and laughed off rumours of an “affair” with Gareth Gates after they enjoyed an intimate chat.

Carol was joined by Charlotte Hawkins who cut a stylish figure as she attended Day 3 of the Cheltenham Festival on Thursday.

The Good Morning Britain star, 47, embraced the chilly spring weather wearing a chic red ensemble for the festivities at Cheltenham Racecourse.

Charlotte posed for pictures as she entered the grounds, looking incredibly chic in bright red calf-length dress and matching fascinator.

She teamed the look with a striking red check coat, black boots and a black handbag.

Zara and Mike Tindall have also arrived for their third day of racing entertainment.

They appeared to be putting any royal drama behind them as they walked hand in hand and shared an intimate moment for the cameras.

The daughter of Princess Anne, 41, often keeps a low profile despite her extremely regal ranking but attends certain events with her relatives, including her husband Mike.

But as the royals face yet more drama surrounding the upcoming Coronation of Zara's uncle, King Charles III, the Olympian and her former rugby player husband continued to remain in high spirits.

Zara opted for a subtle check navy suit for Day 3, which she accessorised with a burgundy fascinator and matching burgundy handbag.

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star Mike looked dapper as he donned a beige pair of trousers, brown check jacket and burgundy tie to match his wife's outfit.

Other celebrities such as Coronation Street star Alan Halsall and The Missing actor James Nesbitt also made an appearance in stylish suits at Prestbury Park.

Soap star Alan, 40, scrubbed up well for the much-loved horse racing event - posing for snaps on the course.

Alan - who plays Tyronne Dobbs on the ITV soap - cut a cool figure in a beige suit, while James opted for a green jacket and blue shirt combination.

Football legends Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Kenny Dalglish were also in attendance for the penultimate day of the festival.

Fashion designer Jade Holland Cooper and her husband, Superdry founder Julian Dunkerton, also joined the celebrity line up today.

Stephen Mulhern has also been spotted amongst the race-going crowd today.

The 45-year-old presenter stopped to snap a picture with an excited fan as the races kicked off.
He wore a swanky charcoal suit which he'd dressed down with a black t-shirt as he posed for a picture with a grinning female admirer.

Racegoers have been seen embracing ‘St Patrick’s Thursday’ at Prestbury Park today, with many arriving in full green outfits this morning.

The 2023 instalment of the festival is back for day three this afternoon, and if the 14 races across Tuesday and Wednesday are anything to go by, then we are in for another action-packed occasion.

Carol and Charlotte have been joined big names like disgraced MP Matt Hancock and I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! winner Georgia Toffolo at the famous festival this week.
