THE Queen of Countdown joined a football star and a larger than life comic at Royal Ascot.
Looking suitably attired for the weather was TV presenter Carol Vorderman, who was in the Royal Enclosure with partner Des Kelly.
Sporting a long white coat, with white top, white straw hat, and grey umbrella, she said she was feeling lucky about the day's racing.
"I have been to Ascot before, but this is my first time at Royal Ascot," she said.
"I hope the event at York does very well.
"Yorkshire has always been a lucky place for me and I hope that it remains lucky for me for the rest of today."
Also spotted at Knavesmire was England and Real Madrid marksman Michael Owen.
Mel Smith, of Not The Nine O'Clock News and Alias Smith And Jones fame, was also enjoying the atmosphere at the course.
