In a separate clip, Carol allayed concerned fans and provided clarification. In her caption, she wrote: "Laughing, but I AM NOT TOPLESS… Just wearing a new bikini top from @omgmiamiswimwear… matching my SUN TAN courtesy of @tancreamworld… a brilliant SPF50 with instant bronzer included."

She finished by adding: "Anyway, I'm now on TikTok! No idea what I'm doing (obvs) but it's going to be lots of fun."
Her fans inundated the comment section with a slew of hilarious reactions. "Nearly had a heart attack", wrote one, whilst a second added: "I had to look twice!" and a third chimed: "I nearly fell over". Blown away by her sultry swimwear, one fan remarked: "You look absolutely stunning" and a second noted: "You always look amazing".

Carol's TikTok update comes after the Celebrity Gogglebox star jetted off to Portugal last week to enjoy a luxurious health retreat. The presenter is staying at Jason Vale's Juice Master Retreat in a bid to bolster her health.
During the retreat, guests drink four juices daily rather than eating solid meals, while taking part in yoga, fitness, meditation, games and walks. The retreat is designed to change the way attendees feel, both mentally and physically.

Next to a short video showing a starlit sky, Carol wrote: "It's half past five, time for an early swim, stars still in the sky".
