Carol Vorderman has hit back at those who tell women to 'act their age' as she posed up a storm in firey red gym gear. The former Countdown host took to Instagram as she paraded her gym honed-figure in a variety of workout poses.
Last month, Carol headed to Portugal to follow the guidance of Jason Vale, known as the Juice Master, who owns the juice retreat where she enjoyed a stay. The 61-year-old sent fans wild when she modeled a pair of skimpy denim shorts which she said she hasn’t worn in years but has put back on after "dropping over a dress size".
She has since been continuing on with her social media displays but her latest, which saw her donning a pair of skintight leggings and a matching crop top, came with an important message.

First sharing a fitness update, Carol typed: "Been trying much more yoga and Pilates and 'learning the splits' stretching this summer.....now I’ve put it into my own routine as pure slow yoga isn’t for me, even though it’s obviously very good.
"Soooooooo just a few shots from what I now do every morning (not the whole routine)...a bit of the 5 Tibetans (a yoga thing) and adductors and abs and hamstrings all good and firing....
"I call it my… Happy Bird Who’s Not Giving In To A Number Routine." She then explained what she meant by her remark by continuing: "And to anyone who says you shouldn't do “this or that” at a certain age...and is still living in the 20th or even 19th century....please bear this in mind when you’re attempting to troll any woman no matter what their age...
"I love my life [heart emoji] I’m alive and fit and happy.....but do you know the strongest bit of my body now? It’s my middle finger.....and I use that middle finger without apology....so a word from the wise. Calm Down and Smile and join the happy crowd. It’s a much nicer place to be."
The likes of This Morning's Josie Gibson and former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan were quick to flood the comments section with love heart eyes and flame emojis. Meanwhile, Steps star Ian 'H' Watkins said: "UMMMMM!!!! WOW!!!!"
And fans were applauding her for her honesty. @cogleypeter said: "I think you're fantastic Carol. Your antics have even inspired me to get more active. You are a testament to enthusiasm and a Goddess too by the way." @elizacrane70 commented: "Well said Carol and you look amazing."
@sharpie44v shared: "Brilliant! Keep on using that middle finger to all those who dare to criticise, you are such an inspiration and if I look half as good as you in another 10 years I will be over the moon - I look nowhere near that now." @_mrscc22 posted: "You’re amazing! I love this post!! Thank you on behalf of us girls of a certain age!!!!" @scott_mccauslander added: "Great stuff Carol! Love from A Happy Bloke Who's Not Giving In To A Number."
