Carol Vorderman shares update with fans following hospital scare

Carol Vorderman has announced her return to work following a health scare.

This comes after she previously shared her experience of feeling “burnout” from working seven days a week, which ultimately led her to quit her role at LBC.

In an update to her fans, the 63-year-old former Countdown star revealed that she is currently filming a new show, although she won't be sharing any details just yet.

Taking to her Instagram, she wrote: “Back in the studio today after 3 wks recharging….thanks for the love. Means a lot.”(sic)

She added, “Feels good to be back. Filming on a very funny TV show which I’ll let you know more about soon.” Carol showcased her fashion sense in a bright green shirt, a large belt, and leather trousers, finishing the look with heeled boots.

Fans quickly praised her outfit, with one person saying: “Go on Carol, killing it!!” Another chimed in: “Awesome body and beauty.” A third fan wrote: “Glad you're feeling much better, Carol. Looking stunning in those tight leather trousers.” A fourth added: “You really are unbelievably beautiful.”

Carol decided to step down from her role at LBC after admitting she felt "very unwell" and "utterly exhausted," experiencing a "tight feeling" in her chest.

She ended up in the hospital and underwent several scans and checks, which revealed no underlying health issues.

In an Instagram video, she explained: "I am very fed up about it, but I have made the decision that I can no longer do my Sunday show on LBC, which is a very hard decision to come to, but I couldn't see anything else I could do."

Recently, Carol also opened up about feeling "desperate" after leaving university and living out of a "rust-bucket" car.

She graduated from the University of Cambridge with an engineering degree and, before finding fame on Countdown, she poignantly shared her struggles, saying, "[It] was the closest, I think, that I've ever felt about homelessness."
