Carol Vorderman sent fans swooning as she posed in a designer outfit after "two weeks of proper happy scruffing". The former Countdown star returned to her native Wales earlier this month to have a much-needed seaside break.
62-year-old Carol has been keeping active during her relaxing recharge in Anglesey, where she has been staying in a luxurious waterside property that overlooks the dramatic northwest Welsh coast. In sunny snaps posted to her Instagram grid, the Clifton resident looks happier than ever after ditching makeup to spend her days paddleboarding and "larking around on the little beach" with family.
Earlier this week, Carol had to leave behind the "most beautiful house in the world" for a quick work trip to the Big Smoke. All dressed up, Carol smiled for her fans as she posed in a very smart outfit - a far cry from the wetsuits she's been wearing in Wales.

"Quick trip to London for ITV," Carol updated her fans. "Had to wear heels and make up...and brush my hair...so weird after two weeks of proper happy scruffing.....
"Back to the Wales gang later. Happy days."
For a day at work, Carol opted for a button-through white blouse from Karen Millen, which features gold detailing and voluminous balloon sleeves. She teamed the blouse with a black fishtail-style skirt by Victoria Beckham, an oversized black belt and bright yellow heels.
Whilst the Flared Stretch Knit Skirt will set fashionistas back a whopping £490, there is a way Carol's fans can replicate her sophisticated look on a tight budget. Shein’s DAZY High Waist Mermaid Skirt is currently on sale for 57 per cent off its original price at just £5.99, MyLondon reports.
It currently has a perfect five star rating on the site from four reviews. One reviewer wrote: “Looks like in the picture, acceptable quality.”
Alternatively, ASOS sells the Vesper Tall asymmetric maxi skirt co-ord in black for £23, down from £38. For anyone who is petite size, Boohoo has a Woven Tiered Midaxi Skirt in black, stone or white for £21.
