It may only be November but Carol Vorderman is already getting into the Christmas spirit.

The TV star, 59, delighted fans on Wednesday night when she took to Twitter to upload a sexy snap that showed her modelling a Mrs Claus costume.

Carol - who hosted the Pride of Britain Awards on Sunday - posed up a storm in the photo as she grasped onto a glass of red wine whilst flaunting her enviable cleavage in a red velvet dress that featured a white fur trim around the dipping neckline.

The age-defying beauty stunned penned on the micro-blogging site: "Awwwww.... #ChristmasEve is trending. Is that everyone planning what to give me on my special birthday this year???"

She also added a hashtag reading: "#37andDontArgue."

After her tweet the maths whizz was sent a number of cheeky messages from her fans.

One admirer wrote: "Love that picture...wickedly sexy."

A second added: "A kiss under the mistletoe from you would be my best present for a long time! For you I really don't know."

Others echoed: "Carol you are like a fine wine, better every time I see you. And I'm thirsty xx" and "Dear Carol, I keep it simply. It seems to me that you are ageless. Your beauty is still overwelming. Ik like you, you are always positif and that is also my attitude. From the Netherlands a big kiss for you!"(sic)

Carol previously shared her dismay that people focus on her looks rather than her career.

"One of the sad things is that people think I am only ever talking about the way I look," she said.

"I just choose to pay no attention to it.

"I was a free school meals kid. I got to Cambridge from a comprehensive. That just didn't happen in the 70s.

"Now I do a lot of work with kids from a similar background to me. I have my online maths school, I sell I-don't-know-how-many education books a year. But that never gets talked about."

"Instead it's, 'how big is her bottom?'"
