Carol Vorderman has sent fans wild with her latest glam look as she started her new job after quitting the BBC.
The 63-year-old former Countdown star has landed her own show on LBC Radio – and certainly made an entrance as she turned up for work wearing tight fitting blue leather trousers with a matching long sleeve top and belt that cinched in her waist. Looking almost superhero-like, she hid the co-ord ensemble under a red puffer jacket before posing for photographers.
Clearly loving her new role that started last month, Carol flashed a huge smile as she strutted into the office to present her new show, which airs on Sunday afternoons from 4pm to 7pm. Prior to landing the LBC gig, Carol was a presenter on for five years, but . She revealed she had decided to leave over the broadcaster's new social media guidelines.
Carol, who regularly shares pics of her racy outfits as well as her opinions on politics and other issues, said she was “not prepared to lose her voice on social media," where she has 600,000 followers on Instagram alone.

However, despite my show being light-hearted with no political content, it was explained to me that, as it is a weekly show in my name, the new guidelines would apply to all and any content that I post all year round.

"Since those non-negotiable changes to my radio contract were made, I’ve ultimately found that I’m not prepared to lose my voice on social media, change who I am, or lose the ability to express the strong beliefs I hold about the political turmoil this country finds itself in.
"My decision has been to continue to criticise the current UK Government for what it has done to the country which I love – and I’m not prepared to stop. I was brought up to fight for what I believe in, and I will carry on. Consequently I have now breached the new guidelines and BBC Wales management have decided I must leave. We each must make our decisions. I’m sad to have to leave the wonderful friends I’ve made at Radio Wales. I wish them, and all of our listeners, all the love in the world. We laughed a lot, and we will miss each other dearly. But, for now, another interesting chapter begins."
Now on LBC, Carol said she "won't be shy to say things that others won't" and will “carry on using her voice to cause a commotion”. She added: “I’m delighted to be joining LBC and the phenomenal stable of powerful voices on the station. And what a year 2024 is going to be for news and politics!
“On Sunday afternoon, I’ll be using my voice – as you might expect – to cause a commotion. I won’t be shy to say things that others won’t and I’ll hold the corrupt to account without fear or favour. And obviously I can’t wait to hear from all the listeners – all of it, without apology or embarrassment: their worries, their joys, their ideas. To quote Bob Dylan – ‘the times they are a-changin’ and I can’t wait to get started – bring it on!”
