Carol Voderman in hospital with a broken nose after falling down the stairs
Carol Vorderman has been forced to cancel her TV appearances after she tripped while wearing 4in heels and broke her nose.
The Cambridge graduate, whose mathematical abilities wowed the nation on Countdown, admits the accident has left her feeling 'a complete idiot'.
In a picture released by ITV, the 52 year-old presenter is seen with her nose heavily bandaged after she came to grief running down stairs with her hands in her pockets.

Miss Vorderman – known for her love of figure-hugging dresses and killer heels – was leaving a meeting in central London on Thursday when she decided to take the stairs instead of the lift.
Feeling cold, she put her hands in her pockets. In her hurry, she slipped and fell face first into the corner of a wall.
Her boyfriend Graham Duff, 37, a former squadron leader with the Red Arrows, was called and she was taken to hospital.

The presenter of ITV’s Loose Women and Food Glorious Food was kept in overnight as her nose was reset and cuts to her eyelid and forehead were stitched.
Her nose is in plaster as she recovers at home.
Mother-of-two Miss Vorderman said: ‘I’m feeling okay but because I had my hands in my coat pockets, I had nothing to break my fall except my head. I really do look like I’ve done eight rounds with Muhammad Ali.
‘I am just counting my blessings that I didn’t damage my skull or the left eye itself... feel like a complete idiot.’
