Carol Vorderman shares BTS footage of Blankety Blank filming
Carol Vorderman wore a sheer dress emblazoned with Benjamin Franklin’s face as she previewed her appearance on Blankety Blank this Saturday night.
The 62-year-old former Countdown star also rolled around on a bed with Johnny Vegas during sneak peek footage uploaded to Instagram today – and revealed she was already missing the “belly laughing” of the occasion.
Carol recycled the same banknote themed Benjamin Franklin dress which she’d worn to the Pride of Britain pre-awards show winners’ dinner just three weeks earlier.
The bright orange and red semi-sheer number mimics the $100 banknote, on which Franklin is honoured for his role in convincing the French government to support the USA against Britain, in the 1778 Treaty of Alliance.
On today’s Instagram post, she donned the same dress to lie on a bed with Johnny, who cheekily climbed on top of her.

“@johnnyvegasreal and I had a right laugh demonstrating one of the top prizes,” she captioned the footage, which was shared with the Countdown legend’s 425,000 followers.
The This Morning star added that she’d also had a giggle with Clara Amfo, Judi Love and Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith during the filming.
She then disclosed an unusual relationship that viewers might not otherwise have known about, admitting: “Pic right at the end with @rickontour from Kaiser Chiefs in next door dressing room…
“Why? Because in the 1980s I worked up in Leeds on Countdown and other local shows at Yorkshire Television. Ricky’s dad Geoff was my producer on a local music show, and guess who was our runner briefly when he was a young lad? Yep. Ricky…”

She then reminisced: “Hoorayyyy for YTV….by far, but not exclusively, some of the happiest work days of my life!”
Inserting a string of heart emojis, Carol added: “Miss that level of full on belly laughing every day.”
Although the grand prize on Blankety Blank appeared to have been the extra-comfortable bed Carol was rolling around on, some fans had other preferences on their mind.
“Wish there was a competition with the 1st prize to meet Carol Vorderman – that would be a tick off the bucket list!” exclaimed @davidw6767psw.
Meanwhile, eagle-eyed viewers may already have spotted Carol this week on Ru Paul’s Drag Race, when she modelled a bright red latex dress.
Guest judging The Snatch Game alongside former X Factor star Alexandra Burke, she seemingly shunned a designer dress and was instead kitted out by a little-known fashion brand called IV Rose.
Carol had admitted she’d been “excited” about the project “from the moment I was asked, and it didn’t disappoint”.
She added on Instagram: “Have I mentioned how excited I am to be with my buddy in latex @michellevisage? Lols. Can I get an amen?”(sic)
Blankety Blank airs Saturday on BBC One at 9.35pm.
