When you've got a very festive birthday, you need to do all you can to grab the attention - and Carol Vorderman didn't disappoint.
She turned 61 in style on Christmas Eve and celebrated by slipping into some eye-popping tiny leather trousers.
Going all black for her big day, she wore a warm winter Guess jumper and set the outfit off with a huge buckled belt.
She took to Instagram to remind everyone it's not just about Santa over the next 24 hours!
Captioning the three snaps, she wrote "Happy birthday to ME!" with two heart emojis, standing in front of a long mirror.
On the second, she simply scribbled: "Bring it on!"
The TV favourite later added a close-up selfie of her face as she prepared for her birthday celebrations.
“Innocent look… What? Me?” the maths whizz teased with three laughing emojis.
You guessed it, she is in fact called Carol because of the time of the year.
But the star almost got a name she really didn't want thanks to her sister's strange selection before the adults stepped in.
"My mother had promised my ten-year-old sister that she could pick my name - heaven alone knows why, but Trixie came up with Prudence Victoria. Can you imagine?" she said.
"I'm still not sure what my mother thought. But luckily the nurses persuaded her it would be a wonderful idea to acknowledge my special birthday."
She spoke before about what it's like to have a birthday when most people are purely focused on last-minute present buying and pre-stuffing the turkey.
"I know from experience there'll be very few cards, no cake and only a handful of presents," she said.
"But I'm not looking for sympathy - far from it. I love having my birthday at this time of year when the celebrations go on for days and days, and everyone's in holiday mood.
"Secretly, I think I'm really lucky."
She added: "People always suggest celebrating our birthdays halfway through the year, on June 24 and never do.
"They never send us a birthday card, but simply scrawl a message in the Christmas card - if they even remember."
