Carol Vorderman shows off her racy side in a plunging Mrs Claus minidress

She stunned in a blue ball gown for the Pride Of Britain Awards on Sunday night.

But Carol Vorderman showed off her racy side on Twitter on Wednesday after seeing Christmas Eve- which is coincidentally her birthday- was trending.

The former Countdown ace, 59, shared a throwback photo in a very sexy Mrs Claus’ costume as she enjoyed a glass of wine.

Carol showed off her ample cleavage in the festive velour number which came complete with a fluffy white trim. 

The presenter’s hair was voluminous and she sported her signature black smoky eyeliner in the snap.  

Carol captioned the post: ‘Awwwww….#ChristmasEve is trending. Is that everyone planning what to give me on my special birthday this year??? #37andDontArgue’. 

Carol previously was forced to defend her figure and deny having bum implants after causing a stir when she stepped out in some very tight jeggings. 

The TV personality, who has twice won Rear of the Year in 2011 and  2014, explained that her shapely behind was simply down to genes, exercise and HRT medication.

She told Daily Mail: ‘I’ve always had a huge a**e. It’s not news.

‘But I think the high-waisted jeggings in the picture — which I bought in Marks & Spencer a few weeks ago for about a tenner — give you a much more defined silhouette. Even I thought ‘Blooming hell’ when I saw some of those pics. 

‘If I wore loose clothes, I’d look like Hattie Jacques. And knickers dig into my big bum — so, like most girls, I don’t wear them on the red carpet if I’m in a clingy dress.’

She continued: ‘I promise I haven’t had bottom implants. It’s the same old bottom. In my family, loads of us have it: the Vorderman A**e. My daughter Katie has it. My nephew has it. We’re all sticky-out-bottom people.

‘And I’ve been working out for decades, so the shape of mine is down to years of keeping fit.’

Explaining her exercise regime, she said: ‘I walk seven miles a day and I try to do a 15-mile walk once a week as well, up the Brecon Beacons or along the River Cam. It makes me so happy.’
