She's nearly as well known for her form-fitting dresses as she is for her mathematical skills.
But it looks like Carol Vorderman may have looked to a fellow ITV daytime star for inspiration when dressing today.
The Loose Women panellist, 50, showed off her hourglass figure in a form-fitting red dress - which looked remarkably similar to one worn by Holly Willoughby earlier this week.

Blonde presenter Willoughby, 30, wore a red Diane Von Furstenberg number as she filmed This Morning on Tuesday.
The same dress ended up filthy after her co-host Phillip Schofield gave her floury handprints on her bottom during the cooking segment.
While mother-of-two Willoughby teamed the dress with a pair of Christian Louboutin high heels, Vorderman went for a pair of beige, slouch wedge boots.

Former Countdown presenter Vorderman admits she has a wardrobe full of figure-hugging dresses by designers such as Roland Mouret and Victoria Beckham.
In recent years, she was accused of becoming Beckham's style-stalker after wearing the same dresses as the ex-Spice Girl.
However, Vorderman insisted it was purely accidental and she prefers to go for dresses with a structured waistline because 'if I don't wear anything nipped in at the waist, I look like a sack of spuds'.

On today's show, Vorderman and her fellow Loose Women chatted to actress Maureen Lipman and Katie Price.
Price was quizzed on her recent break-up from Argentine model Leandro Penna and insisted they had actually parted ways a lot longer than had been reported.
She said: 'We actually split longer ago than people realised and we're still really good friends. It's all cool.'
