The 57-year-old bombshell was caught up in a flirtatious exchange with Gino D’Acampo, 42, on the unruly ITV2 comedy panel show. The festive special saw the guests dressing up for the occasion. Introducing Carol Vorderman, host Keith Lemon, 45, who came as The Grinch, said: “Carol Vorderman, hello. You’ve come as Mary Poppins.
“Let’s have a look at you next to the real Mary Poppins…” he said, flashing a shot of Julie Andrews’ iconic character up on the split screen next to Carol.
“Gino, you love Mary Poppins don’t you?” Keith asked.
“Ah…” the Italian chef sighed, quipping cheekily: “I would love to go up your chim-chimney or whatever it’s f***ing called.
“You look fit,” he announced, to cheers from the studio audience.

Flattered, Carol replied: “Practically perfect.”
The former Countdown beauty looked stunning in Mary Poppins’ famous blue coat with a white shirt underneath, which boasted a ruffled collar.
She wore her caramel tresses swept back in a sleek up ‘do under a black straw hat with flowers on top.
She showed off her youthful complexion, emphasising her features with smokey eye make-up, a slick of pink lipstick and blush across her cheeks to emulate the children’s character.
Carol found fame on Countdown, presenting the long-running Channel 4 show from 1982 until 2008.
She worked alongside the likes of the show’s original host Richard Whiteley, his successors Des Lynam, 76, and Des O’Connor, 86.
When the fan favourite left the gameshow, she was replaced by Rachel Riley, 32.
Carol’s TV career also includes presenting Loose Women from 2011 until 2014 and she remains a regular guest on the ITV programme.
She has hosted the Pride of Britain Awards since they began in 2000 and has stood in for Lorraine Kelly, 59, on Lorraine.
Recently, Carol’s former Countdown co-star Susie Dent, 54, praised her pal in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, saying: “I will always be grateful to Richard and Carol because they were the ones who made me full-time on the show.
“Before that, I was part of several people who just rotated and they were the ones who wanted to create more of a family really, and it was thanks to Richard and Carol that I got there.
“Carol’s just a bundle of energy and fizz and lit up the studio,” she added.
