Carol Vorderman is being lined as a lingerie model.

The lingerie company's owner, Michelle Mone, wants the 48-year-old former 'Countdown' co-pesenter and mathematics whizz to front an advertising campaign for the brand.

Michelle said: "I'd work with Carol any day. She'd be a good model. I just need to get her into a bra and a thong."

Other famous models for the Ultimo brand include Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding, ex-Spice Girl Mel B, former glamour model Melinda Messenger and ex-'Hollyoaks' actress Gemma Atkinson.

The ousted queen of Countdown talks of money, celebrity and becoming the Tories’ math

At Westminster to launch a numeracy initiative, Carol Vorderman had to duck when David Cameron lobbed a snowball her way. She laughed as the missile came flying towards her, later showing there were no hard feelings by helping the politician make a snowman.

After early interviews at GMTV and ITV, where she stepped in for other stars stranded at home, Lily Allen probably felt she could afford to have some fun. Armed with two tin trays as a makeshift sledge, the Smile singer whizzed down the hill in a park near her North London home.

But now, nearly two months after her final appearance, she says that far from wallowing in self-pity and resentment, she has been counting her blessings.

Vorderman will look at teaching methods, how to address people's "fear" of the subject, and whether tests have got easier.
