CAROL Vorderman looked fantastic as she dazzled in a figure-hugging dress to host the Pride of Britain Awards.
The former Countdown host teamed up with Ashley Banjo once more to host the awards ceremony which aired on ITV this evening.
Carol looked incredible in the skintight number as she honoured incredible people from up and down the country with a variety of awards.
She returned to the stage after a recent health scare forced her off work.
Carol recently shared she had been “very poorly” after quitting her LBC Sunday radio show last year.
The 64-year-old made the announcement that she was leaving behind her job in October 2024 following an undisclosed “health scare”.

She told OK!: “This year has been a bit hellish health-wise.
“I’ve been very poorly, not related to the burnout but something entirely different.
“I’m on the right medications now, but it’s only in the last month or so that I felt I’ve got my mojo back. So watch out, world!”
But she appeared on top form for her hosting duties.
The tear-jerking ceremony featured countless inspirational stories celebrating the nation’s unsung heroes as opposed to those already in the public eye.
The event took place at Grosvenor House Hotel in London on Monday evening before being broadcast today.
Within moments of kicking off, viewers watching along at home were immediately left in floods of tears after learning the story of Luke Mortimer, an 11-year-old quadruple amputee.
He was honoured with the Child of Courage award after overcoming a whole host of challenges and difficulties in his life.
After having his own amputations, Luke set out to raise thousands of pounds for charities that support other disabled children.
As part of being awarded with the honour, Luke was able to meet one of his acting heroes, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
He was also presented with a video message from Britain’s Got Talent hosts Ant and Dec.
Across the ceremony plenty of other notable faces also handed out prizes and met some of this year’s inspirational award winners.
Actress Margot Robbie surprised Young Fundraiser winner Georgie Hyslop with boxers Barry McGuigan, David Haye and Frank Bruno handing out the gong to Javeno McLean, a PT who won the Inspiration Award.
