Carol Vorderman, the beloved British television personality known for her brains, beauty, and boldness, continues to make headlines at age 62. Known for maintaining her stunning physique and unapologetically living life on her own terms, Vorderman recently wowed fans once again by sharing photos of herself in form-fitting workout gear that showed off her toned figure. Dressed in sleek leggings and a crop top, the Welsh broadcaster posted shots from her gym routine, proudly flaunting the results of her dedication to fitness. Her followers, who fondly call her “Supervorders,” flooded her Instagram with praise for both her youthful appearance and vibrant energy.
Vorderman is no stranger to attention, whether she’s making TV appearances, flying a jet, or rubbing elbows with Hollywood icons like Tom Cruise. She celebrated a remarkable milestone this year—40 years in show business—having appeared in more than 10,000 TV episodes, including shows like Lorraine, This Morning, and The Great Celebrity Bake Off. But while her media career continues to thrive, Carol’s fans admire her not just for her glamorous life, but for her brains as well. In 2014, she earned her private pilot’s license, and in 2015, she joined NASA’s Challenger Center for Space Science Education, promoting science learning among children. Clearly, she’s more than just a pretty face.
Despite her many accomplishments, Vorderman remains refreshingly grounded and transparent, especially when it comes to health and aging. She has spoken candidly about staying fit in her 60s, explaining that women her age weren’t raised to focus on exercise and strength. “I believe as you age, you need to do weight training, stretching, squats—all of it,” she told HELLO! Magazine. “You start creaking if you don’t! And because I work in a visual industry, I do have to pay more attention to how I look—more than I’d really like to.” Her followers appreciate this real talk, and many see her as an inspiration.
In a recent Instagram post, Vorderman shared her pride in returning to regular workouts, captioning it, “Five gym sessions this week. It feels great to be back in a routine. Honestly, I feel happiest when I eat healthy, drink water, stay active, and get fresh air.” The photos showed her in action—lifting weights, curling cables, and looking every bit as confident as women half her age. Admirers flooded her comments with compliments. “Youth fountain! You look incredible,” one fan wrote. Another simply called her “Supervorders.” Some took a cheekier tone, writing things like, “There’s no way I could keep up with you, but I’d love to try.”
Her appeal doesn’t end at fitness or fame. Vorderman is equally known for her honesty about her love life. She has openly shared that she’s not interested in traditional romantic setups, and instead enjoys non-monogamous relationships with five “special friends”—a concept that recently sparked laughs and admiration during a segment on This Morning. Co-host Dermot O’Leary cracked a joke after a caller mentioned dating multiple men, asking, “You wouldn’t be Carol Vorderman, would you?” The moment went viral, highlighting Carol’s signature openness and sense of humor.
Vorderman has been divorced twice—first from Christopher Mather in 1986 and later from Des Kelly, a journalist, in 2007. She was also married to Patrick King, father of her two children, Katie, 31, and Cameron, 25. Despite her romantic past, Carol has made it clear she values independence and sees no need to marry again. “I don’t want to live with a man ever again,” she said. “This idea that one person should fulfill all your needs—it’s outdated.” She explained that her “special friends” are all single men who understand her lifestyle, and most even know her children. “It’s a very honest relationship,” she added.
In a playful nod to her status as a strong, single woman, Carol recently posted a video of herself dancing and lip-syncing to “It’s Raining Men.” Fans adored it, cheering her on with comments like, “The Vord has defeated the Borg,” and “What a gorgeous woman!” Her joyful spirit and confident moves further endeared her to followers who see her as a role model for embracing life unapologetically.
Carol Vorderman continues to challenge conventions and inspire others with her vibrant energy, intelligence, and refusal to settle for society’s expectations. Whether she’s crushing it at the gym, championing education, or dancing through life on her own terms, one thing is clear—Carol is living proof that age is just a number and freedom is the ultimate glow-up.
