Carol Vorderman has shown off her enviable curves in a matching gym wear set as she unveiled her exercise routine to fans.

The TV star, 62, has cemented herself as a body-positivity guru in recent years and was praised earlier this month for explaining why she threw out her weighing scales in 1999.

The I'm A Celebrity... South Africa star took to her Instagram on Sunday as she got moving and lifted weights in the gym.

Pride Of Britain host Carol looked fitter than ever in a figure-hugging all-black workout set as she swung a kettle bell through her strong legs.

Carol had pulled her locks into a messy ponytail and went makeup free for her weekend workout session.

The ex-Countdown star showed off her form as she engaged her core in a plank position before moving on to weighted squats and kettle bell swings.

She then took her 350,000 followers along for a wander through Clifton, Bristol, in the gorgeous spring sunshine.

Carol resisted a tempting cake but enjoyed a coffee after her sweaty gym session.

Posting an update of her morning, Carol told fans: “Sunday Bristol style with yours truly [heart emoji]. 5am sitting listening to the birds outside

“6am carried on working on a synopsis for a book I'm writing... 9am off to the gym at @the.gymset for a sesh Oooffffff [bicep flex emoji].

“I love Clifton Bristol. Its alive with students and chilled people hanging out doing their thing. So much busier nowadays than when we moved here 16 years ago but just as beautiful.

“Got my coffee from @annacakecouture. Resisted the cakes and macarons....ha. Time to get back to that book…”

She then signed off writing: “I am the luckiest woman alive you know....I really am....love this thing called life in all its light and fire [heart emojis].

Earlier this month, I'm A Celebrity viewers saw Carol and Myleene Klass discuss not having bathroom scales in the house, with Myleene saying they were bad for her daughters.

Explaining her reasoning, Carol said: "Every woman knows the feeling when you get on the scales in the morning and it appears that your weight has gone up.

"'Oh I put on three pounds', but you haven't put on three pounds of fat in a day, you cannot physically do that.

"You have probably retained water.

"I know how big I am or not by my volume so I just go on how my clothes fit really.

"So right now I'm at my medium level and I fluctuate a bit but I don't know what that is in pounds.

"I call it half a dress size. So I'm basically a size 10. And it I might go down to a 'size nine' or up to a size 11, and that's fine with me."

During their time in camp together, winner Myleene and Carol had discussed the subject of weight when former Countdown star Carol, 62, asked if it looked like she had lost weight.

Myleene said she had and then added: "The second I had daughters I threw the scales away. I am not going to have them ruled by numbers.

"Only good numbers. Why would you let your children measure themselves, measure their value, measure their contribution on a scale."

Carol responded by saying she threw out hers in 1999. She added: "I have not known my weight this century."
