Carol Vorderman puts on busty display in unearthed boxing snap as she takes up new sport
CAROL VORDERMAN, a popular radio and television presenter who rose to fame on Countdown, told her Twitter followers she was thinking of taking up boxing, while sharing a glamorous throwback snap with a former world champion.
Carol Vorderman, 59, outlined her plans for 2020 in her latest Twitter post.
The TV star, who found fame on Channel 4 game show Countdown from 1982 to 2008, plans to try out some “new extra activities” this year.
Her list included paddle boarding and boxing - a sport she tried once before as seen in the unearthed snap she posted online yesterday.
The popular television star told her 425,100 followers that she once had a lesson from a world champion boxer.
She shared an unearthed picture which showed her throwing a punch at Nathan Cleverly - a two-time light-heavyweight world champion - on the social media site.
Carol was unsuitably dressed for the encounter in a low-cut little red dress and boxing gloves.
She sported a huge grin on her face in the animated snap.
Alongside the picture she wrote: “I'm musing on NEW extra activities for this year.”
A short list of sport and leisure activities followed, which included: “Paddle boarding, Sea kayaking, Sea swimming, Beach barbies…”
At the bottom of her list was: “Boxing (without head hitting ie the wimpy version, more my style [laughing emoji]).”
Carol divulged a bit more information about her boxing experience and jokingly described herself as “a natural”.
She said: “Had a lesson from then world champ Nathan C a few yrs ago...think I'm a natural.”
Twitter users and fans took to the comments section to share their thoughts as well as advice and additional suggestions.
Drawing attention to the throwback picture, one user remarked: “Not sure it was a fair fight in that dress.”(sic)
Another added: "Not many can pull off the 'Boxing while looking glamorous' look, you have done it in style!!!”
Other users had a few more suggestions for Carol to try.
One said: “Have you not thought of ladies rugby as you love the sport?”
“Get a mountain bike, great trails around brecon beacons,”(sic) said another.
