Carol Vorderman had something to celebrate on Wednesday, and she did so in style. The glamorous presenter took to Instagram, where she shared a video which saw her wearing a figure-hugging pale blue dress with a deep V neck accessorised with a poppy and a thin belt that emphasised her waist.

Her long blonde hair flowed in loose waves and she wore a sultry smoky eye with neutral lip makeup. "Happy Birthday to me," the star sang in the clip, before continuing: "40 years on the television, who'd have thought it?"

"My first appearance was on Countdown doing the numbers, Countdown was the first show on Channel 4, November 2, 1982."

The mum-of-two's fans were quick to congratulate her and to compliment her look. One wrote: "LOVE that dress!"

Others chimed in: "Happy TVday!! You don’t look old enough," and: "Congratulations, you are one of a kind, you look fabulous".

Attending a dress fitting, the brunette beauty took to Instagram to show off one look. She said: "In the spirit of hand me downs and sustainability... @ashleybanjogram and I are wearing beautiful outfits for this year's Pride of Britain which we’ve worn previously.

"Ash is wearing the suit he wore as best man at @jordbanjo wedding earlier this year and I’m wearing a stunning gown which I wore on stage for POB in 2018."
