Carol Vorderman, 65, shows off her age-defying looks in a glamorous black glittering gown at the Football For Change Gala in Liverpool

Carol Vorderman showed off her hourglass figure in a stylish glittering gown as she hit the red carpet at the Football For Change Gala in Liverpool on Saturday.

The TV personality, 65, looked incredible in the fitted long sleeved black number which boasted ruched detailing on the waist and a thigh high split. 

She elevated her frame in a pair of black heels and accessorised with a dazzling pair of silver drop earrings. 

Carol showed off her age-defying looks wearing a glamorous palette of makeup and styled her long dark tresses in voluminous waves. 

The former Countdown star was all smiles as she posed up a storm for photos at the bash held at the M&S Bank Arena. 

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.'
