At 63, TV star Carol Vorderman credits her enviable figure and energy to a mix of healthy habits, confidence, andāsurprisinglyāsprouts. The former Countdown host recently shared her lifestyle secrets, including the unique snacks she carries in her handbag, her approach to fitness, and why sheās unapologetically herself.
āI wear a good bra and jeans that hold you up,ā Vorderman told Saga Magazine with a laugh, adding that her diet consists of just one meal a day, typically in the late afternoon.
Fitness Challenges and Comebacks
Despite her impressive physique, Vorderman admits she hasnāt felt her best lately. A knee injury and a busy schedule writing her new book, What Now? On a Mission to Fix Broken Britain, have kept her away from the gym for months. However, the star remains undeterred.
Ā
āI donāt give a toss about what people say about how I look,ā she said, confidently dismissing any criticism. āIām at a point in life where I couldnāt care less about what others think of me.ā
Vordermanās fitness routine includes weight training, which she credits with keeping her strong as she ages. āItās the weights you need as you get older,ā she explained, highlighting how a personal trainerāalso a rugby captaināhas pushed her to new limits. āWe have a good laugh, but heās definitely challenging me more.ā
She regularly posts videos of her workouts, focusing on core exercises like planks and squats.
Busting Myths About Her Famous Figure
As speculation about her physique continues, Vorderman has repeatedly debunked rumors of cosmetic enhancements. āI can assure you, I havenāt had any bottom implants,ā she said. āItās the same natural shapeājust the Vorderman family rear. Itās a family trait.ā

Her familyās signature āsticky-out-bottomā trait, she explained, is shared by her daughter Katie and even her nephew.
Healthy Eating with a Realistic Twist
Carolās approach to eating is just as straightforward as her fitness routine. She threw out her scales in 1999, focusing instead on how she feels rather than a number. Her diet includes unprocessed meals, detoxing twice a year, and an occasional indulgence.
āItās not about counting calories,ā she wrote in her book Detox Your Life. āItās about being mindful of what weāre consuming and focusing on eating more, not less.ā
Favorites include tuna NiƧoise salads and seafood dishes, but Vorderman is also a fan of juicing. She often attends Jason Valeās Juice Master Retreats in Portugal, where guests enjoy nutrient-packed juices, yoga, and meditation.
After an 18-day retreat in 2022, she revealed she had dropped a dress size. āIām bursting with energy,ā she wrote. āI havenāt fit into these shorts in years, and now theyāre too loose. Boom!ā
Still, she doesnāt deprive herself. Vorderman has shared her love for hearty breakfasts, including bacon and fresh eggs, after intermittent fasting.
Confident, candid, and completely herself, Carol Vorderman continues to inspire fans with her balanced approach to health and her unapologetic attitude toward life.
