Carol Vorderman has given a major health update after a recent medical scare.
The presenter, 63, revealed last week that she had quit her LBC radio show after experiencing ‘burnout’ and spending a night in hospital.

And now, days after stepping back after taking the incident as a ‘warning’ to prioritize her health, Carol has revealed she is doing ‘fine’ but opened up about how she knows she needs to slow down for the sake of her health.
She spoke at the Cheltenham Literature Festival The mirror: ‘I’m fine, I’ve had all the checks and everything, but I can’t work seven days a week anymore, so I’m going to focus a lot more on social media in the future instead of traveling to London all the time .’

The former Countdown star added: “I now turn my phone off for 12 hours a day. Like physically disabled. Usually during the night hours.
“But it’s pretty good, you know that when you just have it next to your bed and you just reach out your hand.” Let me check… Ahh, two hours later.”
Carol informed her fans of her decision to quit her radio show on Friday, telling her Instagram followers: ‘Hi, I have some news to share with you.
‘After working seven days a week for as long as I can remember, I finally had a burnout over two weeks ago and ended up in the hospital overnight.
‘Fortunately, after many scans and checks, we know that I have no underlying health problems.
‘So, after a good conversation with my family and friends, I took the fear for my health as a warning sign to slow down a little and decided to reduce my work to weekdays for the time being.’
Carol was left heartbroken as she stepped back from her role at LBC, as she continued: “It pains me to have to do it but I have decided not to continue with my Sunday show on @LBC.
‘I’m tired of having to make this decision as the show has been very lively and a delight, with so many new callers from all over the country and a growing number of listeners.
