Carol Vorderman, 65, accentuates her hourglass curves in a bodycon glitter gown as she debuts new, darker hair at Pride of Britain Awards

Carol Vorderman showed off her hourglass curves in a bodycon glitter gown as she hit the red carpet at the Pride of Britain Awards on Monday night. 

The TV personality, 65, looked nothing short of sensational in the off-the-shoulder sequin black number as she posed for photos. 

Carol turned heads as she debuted her new, darker hair, which she styled in voluminous curls. 

She elevated her frame in a pair of towering heels and kept her accessories to a minimum with a simple silver necklace. 

The former Countdown star stole the show at the star-studded charity bash which was held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London. 

The annual event is co-hosted by Carol and Diversity star Ashley Banjo, 38, and honours the nation's unsung everyday heroes – and the winners have already been decided.

While the glamorous bash has taken place, the show will not actually be televised until this Thursday at 8pm – where viewers can catch all the magic of the event.

The red carpet appearance comes after Carol revealed she was rushed to hospital in an ambulance after suffering a horror fall which left her unconscious earlier this year.

The TV personality took to Instagram to share a health update after she tripped over a tree root outside her home and 'smashed onto the tarmac path' injuring herself. 

The star explained in a video: 'I've got a bit of a story to tell you about my concussion, which might also explain why I was a bit offline in June.

'So right at the very end of May, I was walking just outside my house on a public footpath, and I tripped over a tree root, which I didn't see.

'And I went smash here on the tarmac path, and I was unconscious.

'I can't remember what happened then, but I do know that an ambulance came, and I was taken to the BRI, Bristol Royal Infirmary.

'By the way, I also know that they were playing the final countdown in the ambulance on the way. It's another story, but it did make me laugh.'

Carol went into further detail, noting how she was 'discharged the next day' but experienced 'massive vomiting... all the bad signs'.

She added: 'Straight back into hospital, they were wonderful. The A&E did all the CT scans and everything. Out again. I had the biggest black eye or bruises all down my face for three or four weeks.

'But what it did leave me with after about two or three weeks was dizziness. So I felt as though I was kind of walking on a moving ship, like sort of knocking into the wall a little bit.'

The I'm A Celebrity star explained that she was left feeling like the room was spinning and thanked the 'Epley technique' and a woman called Sophie who introduced her to it for helping tackle it. 

Carol urged: 'I am not a doctor. I am not advising people about this, but I'm just telling you what's happened to me.'

She went on to explain how it is BPPV, adding how 'it's all about the inner ear and this little sort of sack of crystals that gets dislodged, and she puts it back together again'.

After three sessions with physio Sophie doing the Epley technique, Carol says she has been discharged from the service and 'couldn't be happier'.

It comes after Carol revealed she is hoping to go under the knife and have a facelift 'in the next couple of years'.

The presenter has previously hit back at criticism she's faced for having Botox to maintain her ageless appearance, and she doubled down on her plans for more surgery in a new interview.

Hitting back at critics of her tweakments, Carol declared she'll 'spend her money on what she likes' and has 'no issue' with having surgery in the future.

Speaking to the Daily Mail's Richard Eden, she said: 'I don't look as good as I did in my 40s, but I don't think I look bad for my age.

'I have Botox and all of those things, and I'm probably going to have a facelift in the next couple of years.'

'It's my money, I've earned it, so I'll spend it on what I like. I am accepting of myself, but I also want to look good, and those two things can go together.'
