Anyone here got Carol Vorderman's bum at 60?

Is it really achievable to maintain a bum like Carol's after menopause? One of the more trivial things I'm dreading about menopause is losing my reasonably-sized arse, which I hear is going to flatten and descend down the backs of my legs. Is this ALWAYS the case?!

No it's not possible to achieve the vordeman bum without surgery.

Obviously exercise can improve your bum but it won't look like Carol's or Kim's.

There isn't much left of the original Carol Vorderman.

I'm not sure even Carol Vordeman has got Carol Virdeman's bum!

This is the arse version of duck lips and slug eyebrows

Squats, OP. 60 squats a day, minimum. Ideally about 150-200 a day. Vary them - some low, some slow, some sumo, some with weights. That stops the bum flattening and sliding down your thighs.

So easy to do. I do 30 each morning and 30 every night while cleaning teeth, then 10-20 every time I boil a kettle or heat something up in the microwave. All adds up.

For an intelligent woman, Carol Vorderman shows very little intelligence in her approach to her backside!

Lottapianos · 10/06/2023 17:06

'Jeez I think carol's ass looks utterly ridiculous, like an even crapper Kardashian'

Agree, she looks totally daft

Takemyselfdancing · 10/06/2023 17:11

If you Google Carol on Countdown and Carol now, she is two different people!

So no I don’t think you can achieve that bum yourself at any age.

Tots678 · 10/06/2023 18:49

There were pictures of her a few years ago having had implants - but there are so many pics of her I can’t be bothered to look for it

SmiggyBalls · 11/06/2023 15:07

Well, thank you all. I am enlightened!

Feel cheated that Carol didn't get her bum with squats and maths genius, determined that I shall continue with the yoga and may even start some squats myself.

I did wonder how she manages to sit on the toilet without rolling off.

I think she has had a lot done to her face and body, even though she says she has had no plastic surgery. She probably has had some Botox and fillers in her face, wears a lot of makeup and has a wig/hair extensions. She’s definitely had some plastic surgery on her body and probably uses shape wear. She’s also dyed the parts of her hair that aren’t covered by a wig/hair extensions. Carol Vorderman might also have a personal trainer and have her meals made by a professional chef. She also might use makeup and fake tan on her body. Picture A is her with makeup and fake tan, picture B is her with less makeup/fake tan on. She also has a personal stylist and a professional taking her photos. She looks good because of the professionals helping her with her makeup, hair, clothes, and diet.

BriarHare · 11/06/2023 20:06

I’d far rather have no bum than an enormous sticky-out one. I really find that look hideous.

CM283648 · 11/06/2023 20:08

The photos aren’t uploading. Just google her name and look at her photos with makeup, filters, fake tan etc next to her I’m a celebrity photos.

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 11/06/2023 20:14

I have it - in the bottom of my wardrobe. Mine is a clone, of course, obtained by nefarious means from her surgeon.

I can also attest to the effectiveness of squats, which I've neglected recently and seeing the negative results. Must get back on the squat wagon.

CurlewKate · 11/06/2023 20:17

I don't care about her bum- I'd love to have her brain!

Elior · 11/06/2023 20:21

I am really disappointed in CV. I used to watch her in Countdown when she was fresh-faced, natural and a great role model for girls. At some point, she decided to go mega plastic and fake and recently declared that she has something like six men on speed dial for booty calls. I find it distasteful and yes, the bum looks good but she is a gym freak and obviously active so it is a combination of all of those factors, not just a butt lift.

I know what you mean, but I also think she's a victim of celebrity culture. We all consume it so we're all part of the problem.

BelandtheDragon · 11/06/2023 22:03

Can’t wait ‘til I have a flat bum! The current one has been sticking out longer than I care to remember. Although given I had a surgical menopause 14 yrs ago, still hasn’t flattened!

Emotionalstorm · 11/06/2023 23:03

My mum's figure hasn't changed much since she went through menopause. She does lots of exercise and eats healthily (low processed food and sugar diet) so it is possible. People think she's in her 40s when she's actually in her 60s.

Theos · 11/06/2023 23:05

I’m not sure Carol vorderman has her own bum

myladydarbanville · 11/06/2023 23:07

Walk up hills regularly. Do bum clenches while waiting for the kettle to boil. It is hardly inevitable. Women age in all shapes and sizes and styles.

Eyesopenwideawake · 11/06/2023 23:09

Yes, but I'll give it back if she asks nicely.

Gettingbysomehow · 11/06/2023 23:12

Nope. Mine is like 2 bags of jelly. I hate it.

Endlesssummerof76 · 12/06/2023 09:02

Mine's also great - so are my legs.
