Fans shock as Carol Vorderman reveals trip into SPACE – but all is not as it seems
CAROL Vorderman fans have been left in shock after the former Countdown star revealed her trip to SPACE.
The I’m A Celebrity… South Africa star took to her Instagram to show off a photo of her on the space station, but not all was as it seemed.
Carol, 62, could be seen smiling in a bikini in the snap posted to her Instagram grid – with the view of earth from the window behind her.
The TV star opted for a brown string two-piece and let her brunette locks flow down her back as she held up a glass.
She could be seen posing in the snap just by the window of the international space station, with the view to space beyond.
However, as she joked to fans she “sunbathed in space”, she explained that it was just her PHOTO that made it up into the atmosphere.
“In 2010 a friend of mine from NASA was so kind on his trip to the International Space Station and took up a few trinkets for my family including this photo of me,” Carol penned to her fans.
“He took a photo of the photo in the ISS with earth behind and I treasure it. It means ‘I’ve sunbathed in space’. Ha.
“Cut to 2023 and a beloved astronaut friend of mine (formerly NASA and legendary) is now the Chief Astronaut for Axiom Space.
“‘I’m off to see his launch scheduled for November. So he’s said he’ll take something up to the ISS for me this time.
“I’ve decided to choose a ring – the problem is, I don’t have one.
“As you know I’m allergic to wedding rings and useless at choosing things, so can you help? Send me some ideas in the comments.”
Her friends and fans rushed to the comments to encourage the star to send off various items into space, including more photos.
It comes after Carol was spotted looking amazing in a figure-hugging leather skirt and top in a saucy new video.
The former Countdown host took to her Instagram to shake her bum in a clip for her fans as she showed off her latest outfit.
The mother-of-two looked glamorous in the beige leather top, which featured a zip up the front and hugged her ample bosom.
Carol paired the top with a flowing leather skirt, as she shook her bum back and forth for her fans in the video.
She completed her look with beige leather boots as she let her blonde locks flow down her shoulders in light curls.
Carol completed her look by glamming up with make-up.
“Making my way into the Perfect 10 Carol studios,” she wrote. “If you’re a fan of peaches, flags or bad boys then today’s episode is for you!”
Her friends and fans rushed to the comments section to gush over Carol’s new look, calling her a “leather goddess”.
