Carol Vorderman has slammed trolls telling her to "act her age" as she flaunted her washboard abs while attempting to do the splits as part of her gruelling workout routine. The former Countdown Queen, 61, who has recently returned to the UK after her stint in I'm A Celebrity All Stars, teased a glimpse of a South African backdrop.
The maths whizz jumped about on an exercise mat in a hot red, long-sleeved crop top as she moved through a series of yoga-inspired fitness moves. Carol added a pair of figure-hugging leggings in the same colour and teamed her look with a pair of blue trainers, Mirror Online reports.
She showed off her natural beauty with a neutral make-up pallet and kept her soft blonde locks loose. With Lizzo's 2 Be Loved track in the background, the mum-of-two captioned the reel: "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."

The TV star said the routine was what she did every morning and branded it her: "Happy Bird Who's Not Giving In To A Number Routine". Targeting followers who have been giving her a hard time about 'acting her age', she said: "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. 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," she added.
She was met by a flurry of supportive messages in the comment section from famous pals and followers. Denise Welch added three fire emojis and four hand-clapping emojis, while Helen Flanagan left her four heart-eye emojis.
H from Steps wrote: "UMMMMMM!! WOW!!!!" with a few heart-emojis. "Well said. Bravo lass," one follower added. "Fabulous I'm with you xx" another chimed.
Carol's burst of fitness was framed by the stunning backdrop of South Africa, which is where she has been filming I'm A Celebrity All Stars. She was a huge hit on the 2016 series, and fans are looking forward to seeing her in the spin off show which will air next year.
The show's hosts, Ant and Dec, took to Twitter with an excited message to fans. "We've got news," Dec said: "It's probably the worst kept secret in television, but we can confirm we're doing a very special series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in South Africa! We're here, it's going to be your favourite celebrities from the last 20 years who are going back in to do it one more time."
