Carol Vorderman wins Rear of the Year AGAIN
Despite being a fitness fanatic, Vorderman recently admitted that she’d put on a little weight so was upping her exercise regime.
She told The Express: “I've probably put on about half a stone. So I'm a bit heavier than I want to be at the moment.
"I don't vary much, but my range is about 10 pounds. I'm at the upper end of it. So that's going to go."
Vorderman added: 'I have found that in my fifties – and everybody in their fifties finds the same – you can pile on weight a lot faster.”
