Carol Vorderman never fails to impress with her stunning swimwear moments, but her latest Instagram post had an unexpected twist—it came with a space-worthy backstory. The former Countdown star revealed that a throwback bikini photo of her had once made its way to the International Space Station (ISS), thanks to a NASA astronaut friend.
Now, over a decade later, Carol is gearing up to send another personal keepsake into orbit, and her fans couldn’t be more excited.
In her Instagram post, Carol shared a glowing photo from 2010, dressed in a dark green push-up bikini, effortlessly holding a mug. But what made this photo truly special was that it had traveled to space!

A NASA associate and close friend took small mementos belonging to Carol’s family to the ISS—including this particular photo. She humorously captioned the post:
“He took a picture of the photo inside the ISS with Earth in the background, and I treasure it. It means I’ve sunbathed in space. Ha!”
Who else can claim such an intergalactic achievement?
Now, Carol has another opportunity to send a personal item into space. An esteemed astronaut, currently serving as the Chief Astronaut for Axiom Space, has offered to take a keepsake of her choice on an upcoming ISS mission.
This time, she’s considering sending a ring, but there’s one small problem—she doesn’t have the perfect one.
“I’m allergic to wedding rings and absolutely useless at choosing things,” she joked, turning to her fans for suggestions.
Her followers didn’t disappoint, flooding the comments with ideas on the perfect ring to represent her space-bound journey.
Carol’s unique space story sent fans into a frenzy, with one cheeky follower writing:
“If there’s anything that’s going to attract the attention of alien life, it’s Vorders in a bikini!”
Carol, known for her confidence and playful personality, took it all in stride.
This isn’t the first time Carol’s swimwear choices have grabbed headlines. Ahead of her I’m A Celebrity: All Stars appearance, she shared stunning mirror selfies inside a bell tent, flaunting a striking leopard-print bikini.
Reflecting on the moment, she wrote:
“These pics are from when we were coming to the end of our Covid isolation before we went into camp. Swimsuits or bikinis? I couldn’t make my mind up.”
