Carol Vorderman posted a sweet throwback photo with Hollywood star Tom Cruise which has got her fans' tongues wagging.
The former Countdown presenter took to Instagram to share a photo of herself alongside the 59-year-old actor as she prepared for the premiere of Top Gun: Maverick, which stars and was produced by Cruise, in London on Thursday.
In the photo, Carol is wearing a white t-shirt and white jeans as she beams next to the Tom, who could have been mistaken for being in the role of Lieutenant Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell as he wore aviator sunglasses.
He was wearing a blue jumper and blue jeans while holding a bottle of water as the pair were racing cars around Goodwood "a fair few years ago", according to Vorderman.
The caption of the photo read: "MAVERICK and MATH-ERICK.
"PIC from a fair few years ago. We were racing cars at @goodwoodrrc having the best best time.
"I'm back to racing soon I hope. Have added rally driving to my list of MUST DOs as well. Life's too short not to.
"Off to the @topgunmovie premiere tomorrow night.... I feel the need....the need for....."
Some of her 220,000 followers got thinking that the pair could be a "good looking couple".
One user said: "I am well jell! You would make a fabulous couple of thrill seekers though."
Another wrote: "That'd be a good looking couple," followed by a winking emoji.
A third person commented: "I bloody love this pic!!!!!!", accompanied with a red love heart.
The 61-year-old TV personality also added another photo of her 'Matherick' name badge to the Instagram post.
Top Gun superfan Carol recently posted videos from an airshow at Miramar in San Diego before the coronavirus pandemic.
She explained that her and a friend go around the world to watch different airshows before proving she really does know her stuff about aircrafts.
Next to a selection of three photos, Carol wrote: "Note that these are F-18 aircraft, also known as the Hornet.
"Tom Cruise I believe is flying in the Super Hornet in Top Gun 2. Have I mentioned I'm going to the Premiere???"
