Carol has always spoken openly about her fitness and weight, sharing she doesn't follow an intense exercise routine to maintain her enviable curves.
"I must confess my fitness regime has gone right out the window lately," she admitted in January, then come February she Tweeted: "Where did January go? I was supposed to be getting fit!"

Carol has previously said she enjoys running to stay fit, but back in 2020 the presenter was involved in a traumatic bike accident that left her with a horrific knee injury. The pain left her unable to run.

"I try to be careful about my weight. I know people say don’t weigh yourself every day, but I do," Carol told The Independent in an interview. "I put on about 10lbs during lockdown, as somebody very kindly pointed out to me. But I had had an accident, so I was immobile. I’m determined to lose the weight."

The accident also left Carol reluctant to ride her bike, with her confidence for cycling "gone to pot" as she, understandably, fears suffering an injury again, while she also "gets upset talking about it".
We (and her fans!) think Carol looks fab as she is – here's wishing her a great new decade!
