Carol Vorderman turned heads as she arrived at the Pride of Britain Awards on Monday evening. The Countdown icon walked the red carpet ahead of the annual ceremony that honours “unsung heroes” from across the United Kingdom who have shown bravery, courage, or have made a significant difference in their communities.
Hosted by Carol and Diversity star Ashley Banjo, the 26th awards will be a star-studded affair. But as always the real stars of the show are the extraordinary winners, who represent the very best of everything British.
The recipients are nominated by the public and are ordinary people of all ages and backgrounds whose actions are deemed extraordinary and inspiring.

Ahead of the special event, Carol posed for snaps rocking a gorgeous form-fitting black gown. She kept it simple in a plain long-sleeved dress but added layered dazzling necklaces to complete the look.
Her brown locks was styled in loose waves which flowed down her shoulders. Over on her Instagram page, Carol revealed she’s wearing two dresses tonight. The black gown was for the red carpet while fans will have to wait and see her second dress.
It comes after Carol opened up about her health issues. Last year, she stepped down from her LBC Sunday radio show after a “health scare”.

Twelve months later, she exclusively reveals that she’s been “very poorly” over the past year, but has finally managed to come out the other side.
Speaking to OK!, Carol revealed: “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!”
The twice-married and-divorced mother of two also revealed she’d been relying on a circle of good friends to lift her spirits and help her enjoy her new time off.
“I’ve had lots of mini-breaks and holidays with friends — gay friends, female friends I’ve had for 50 years, or some I’ve known for 10. I’ve been back to horse racing, I’ve travelled to the States, to France, to everywhere, actually!,” she said.
