Carol Vorderman has been supported over her latest comments after she branded herself a 'pensioner'. The former Countdown host took to her Twitter and Instagram accounts on Sunday (March 2) to issue a message as a brand new interview was released which saw her grace the cover of YOU Magazine.
"The Carol Conundrum’ brunette-wigged cover of YOU Magazine this morning!!" she started the caption of the post which was a video showing Carol lounging on a soft green sofa. The 62-year-old looked gorgeous in a long-sleeved velvet dress as she lay across the furniture and answered some questions.
"Summary: 'I have nothing to apologise for'. 'The goal of my life is to be happy, not to be 'in love,'" Carol continued to caption of her post as she summarised the answers to some of the questions she was asked. "Basically I’m a thick-skinned little bugger who had a hard start & loves life, people, gym & laughing."

"Here’s a little Q&A that I did after our cover shoot Xx Question: 'Carol, what's the last thing you want to say today?'
Answer: 'I want to say thank you for everyone here today who's made a scruffy pensioner scrub up reasonably well.'"
And fans were quick to support Carol over her comment about not apologising. @nicolaafarrell said: "Apologise for nothing! If i look like you at your age I’ll be a happy pensioner lol. Fabulous." @joojoo65 shared: "Of course you have nothing to apologise for! I admire you, your confidence and zest for life. You only get one chance. You look amazing."
@lightmancer wrote: "You go, Girl. Ignore the naysayers and live your life how you want." @juliebarrett9_ added: "You’re bloody brilliant. Thank you for inspiring so many of us 50+ women to live our lives the way we want to."
Others were quick to flood her with compliments. @becshammy said: "Gorgeous. You’re a wonder." @dcon28031993 commented: "You are unbelievably gorgeous Carol." @georgesinghukkf shared: "Absolutely fabulous Carol." @keep_going_for_grace added: "'Scruffy old pensioner' I think not gorgeous lady."
It comes as Carol is set to appear on TV screens as part of the new I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here 'All Stars' series. It was revealed last month that the TV star will be among the famous faces who have previously taken part in the ITV reality show heading to South Africa in a bid to be crowned the ultimate I'm A Celeb legend.
The news was revealed on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway when Carol was joined on the show by her fellow castmates, including Helen Flanagan, Amir Khan and Paul Burrell, live via video link for the big announcement by the show's hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly before taking part in a special I'm A Celebrity theme game of Read My Lips.
And Carol already appears to have hinted at a clash on the pre-recorded show as during a chat with Lorraine Kelly on her self-titled ITV show last week, Carol said: "Janice Dickinson, we’ll not talk about her. She’s bonkers, totally bonkers."
