Carol Vorderman has shared her experience of a cancer scare after "many merry years" of extreme sunbathing. The 63-year-old confessed that it was a common practice during her youth.She previously stated: "Oh God, yes.

I was burning away merrily for many, many years. I'm of the generation where we started to sunbathe - my mother's generation didn't.

We were also caught in the formative years, the 60s, 70s, 80s, where we had absolutely no idea of what sun protection was - you just couldn't buy it.

I think it was the 90s that began. " She admitted: "So in all of our youth we were encouraging each other to sunbathe doused in cooking oil."Carol experienced a skin cancer scare around the age of 50, after noticing changes in her skin, she consulted a dermatologist who sent off a biopsy for testing.The results showed precancerous cells.
