Carol Vorderman treats fans to an eyeful in her bikini after almost dropping her phone in swimming pool

CAROL Vorderman posed in a bikini today on her sun-drenched break in Portugal.

The 61-year-old TV star posting from the swimming pool on her fitness and juicing retreat - and at one point nearly plopped her phone into the waters.

Speaking to her followers on Instagram wearing just a bikini she said: "Hello from the swimming pool."

Explaining how many lengths she'd accomplished, Carol explained: "I've done 20, I've got another 20 to do.

"I've done an hour of yoga and half an hour of spin which was exhausting and very hot. I haven't had anything yet."

She added: "I haven't even had my first juice yet." Referring to the resort, which she often visits, Carol added: "I love it at Juicy Oasis - the best."

She was seen losing her grip on the device briefly, before regaining control.

Carol's video came a day after some fans thought she was naked in one of her posts because her bikini matched her tan.

One told her: "Thought you were naked for a minute!" while another gasped: "I actually thought that you were topless at first!"

Former Countdown host Carol wrote: "Laughing 😂 but I AM NOT TOPLESS....😮.

"Just wearing a new bikini top from @omgmiamiswimwear....matching my SUN TAN courtesy of @tancreamworld... a brilliant SPF50 with instant bronzer included 😂."

Carol is currently at the Jason Vale Juice Master Retreat with lifestyle coach Jason Vale.

The presenter has been keen to document the trip in recent days, including a stunning snap of herself from her balcony.

In the shot, she gave fans a glimpse of her famous curves in a pair of black figure-hugging leggings and a stone grey sports vest.
