Carol Vorderman showcases her impressive flexibility as she does high kicks in her kitchen and declares: ‘I love a good stretch!’

Carol Vorderman has shown off her incredible flexibility in a new video on her Instagram on Sunday.

The TV personality, 62, turned her kitchen into an at home gym as she demonstrated how she stretches her legs.

Balancing on the kitchen counter and the oven handle, she swung her leg back and forth, kicking her foot high into the air.

During the impromptu workout, Carol said: ‘I do this all the time. I love a good stretch!’

She displayed her incredible figure in a long-sleeved black top and a pair of tight-fitted matching trousers.

Captioning the clip, she wrote: ‘I love doing this in the kitchen….like a really cheap version [of] the parallel bars… Lols.’

She added: ‘Happy Sunday x Could just eat a good Sunday roast dinner today…..but nobody here to cook it for me (NB, I hate cooking!!).’

It comes after Carol revealed she recently had a terrifying cancer scare after losing her mother to the disease.

She became concerned after noticing changes in her skin and after getting her skin biopsied she discovered that a few of the skin cells were pre-cancerous.

Her own mum passed away in 2017 after suffering from three types of cancer – the last of which was melanoma.

Speaking to Boots, who have teamed up with Macmillan Cancer Support to champion sun safety, Carol shared her experience to raise awareness.

She said: ‘When I got to my late forties, I could see there were little bits on my skin which were irregular so I went to a dermatologist.

‘[I had] a biopsy and a couple of them were pre-cancerous. You hear that word and it’s very frightening.’

‘Not a single time in her life did she sunbathe – my mum had a different skin to me, she had moles, I don’t,’ Carol said. ‘I know that makes you much more prone to melanomas.

She added: ‘With what I’ve gone through, protecting my skin, then my mum with the melanoma then dying, it’s really important to me and my family [to support] what Boots are doing to help customers to keep safe in the sun.

‘Always wear a hat, always slather yourself in SPF 50, check yourself and if there’s anything that you find get it checked as soon as possible.’

Carol’s mother – who was known as Jean, but her real name was Edwina – had been diagnosed with terminal cancer just three months before her death.

She had battled three different forms of cancer over the last 12 years, with Carol previously revealing her mother had been treated for skin cancer and kidney cancer, as well as having an ovarian tumour removed.

New figures reveal that melanoma skin cancer diagnoses across all age groups have reached a record high, with 17,500 people diagnosed each year in the UK.
