Carol Vorderman sizzles in rare bikini snap after blasting her necklace to space

Carol Vorderman has left her fans jaws on the floor this morning after sharing a rare bikini snap..

The former Countdown star, 59, delighted her admirers with a throwback photograph of herself sporting the skimpy number.

Donning a khaki coloured bikini top, Carole showcases her ample assets and washboard stomach.

The candid shot, which was taken over a decade ago in 2010, see's the TV star sport brunette locks and a makeup free complexion.

Alongside it, she revealed that her beloved Maths Factor necklace had been to space.

Carole penned: "Did you know that my school @themathsfactor has been into space?

"I had a special necklace made with our symbol (and two tiny diamonds in the division sign) and SPACE SUMS STS-132 written on the back.

"I watched it launch on Space Shuttle in May 2010. A pic went up too #LaunchAmerica ".

Seemingly less impressed by her space connection and more concerned with her appearance, fans rushed to gush over the revealing photograph.

"You are bloody jaw-droppingly sexy Carol Vorderman. You get better with age!" commented one impressed admirer.

While another added: "Wow! You are so sexy. Looking great then and now".

"You could say that I'm over the moon to see you in this bikini" another quipped.

"Wish I was that necklace. Not going to lie. YUM!" a fourth remarked.

Carol has been keeping busy in lockdown by hosting daily maths classes online for children who are currently out of school due to the coronavirus crisis.

The star recently also got incredibly emotional when she appeared on Good Morning Britain with a surprise for Captain Tom Moore.

Alongside hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid, Carol announced to Tom via video chat that he was receiving a Pride of Britain award.

The 99-year-old army veteran raised more than £32million for NHS Charities Together by walking 100 laps of his garden in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire, before his 100th birthday on April 30.

Carol complimented Tom's "fantastic Yorkshire smile", before revealing he had hundreds of thousands of nominations for him to win a Pride Of Britain Award.
