Form-fitting: Carol Vorderman wearing a mocha shoulder-pad fitted dress from Victoria Beckham's Spring/Summer 2010 collection as she leaves the Daybreak studios in London this morning
She's had to defend herself against accusations of being Victoria Beckham's style stalker.
But Carol Vorderman is continuing her love for the Spice Girl's fashion collection by wearing yet another dress from the designer's fashion range.
The former Countdown host, 49, showed off her hourglass figure in a mocha shoulder-pad fitted dress from Beckham's Spring/Summer 2010 collection as she appeared on Daybreak this morning.
The mother-of-two teamed the dress with a pair of grey Christian Louboutin platform heels - one of Posh's favourite shoe designers.
Vorderman wore the ensemble to talk to Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley about Monday's Pride Of Britain Awards, which she hosted, and will be screened on ITV tonight.
The form-fitting dress was the exact same one worn by Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger during her guest judging stint at the X Factor auditions in Manchester in July.
Gwyneth Paltrow also wore a grey version of the dress for an Iron Man 2 photocall in Los Angeles in April.

Since Beckham launched her dress collection two years ago, Vorderman has quickly become a convert of the form-fitting, tailored dresses and has been spotted in three other of her creations.
In September, she wore a grey cut-out shift dress from Beckham's Spring/Summer 2010 collection to the launch of a new magazine in London.
And last year, she wore two different Posh creations in the space of a few weeks.
The maths whiz debuted her first Beckham ensemble - a black £1,180 high neck Ribart felt dress from autumn/winter 2009 collection - during an appearance on GMTV in October last year

A few weeks later, she then opted for one of Beckham's most popular designs - a grey £2,095 Carmontelle cashmere-blend dress from the same season - to the Reveal magazine fifth birthday party.
The Carmontelle dress was seen on a string of celebrities including Elle Macpherson, Mary J Blige and Beckham herself.
Speaking to the Mail earlier this year, Vorderman said: 'I think Victoria Beckham’s range is one of the few making dresses and skirts that go below the knee, while still being fashionable.
'They’re not cheap, but I can still wear them years later without looking dated. It’s simple Forties styling. Above the knee is fine if you’re in your 20s, but I don’t feel it’s overly appropriate at my age.'

As well as buying Beckham's dresses, it appears the two women have similar styles when it comes to other designers.
Vorderman admitted earlier this year it was 'hysterically funny' when she realised she had worn an optical illusion Alexander McQueen dress - the same one worn by the ex-Spice Girl in Milan in May 2009.
She explained: 'To Victoria, to reassure her that I am not, in fact, her celebrity fashion stalker...
'It's no surprise that Victoria wears her own designs. They are exquisite, beautifully made and part of a fashion empire predicted to be worth £4.7million in sales this year.

'They are also based on the Forties style, which goes in at the waist. Sadly, if I don't wear anything nipped in at the waist, I look like a sack of spuds (although many online commentators seemed to think I did anyway!), so her dresses are perfect for me.
'I've met Posh several times, and she is tiny and immaculate. But I don't set out to copy her, and luckily we've never been at the same do in the same dress.'
The presenter is also a huge fan of Roland Mouret creations - of which Posh famously wore a bright pink version of his Galaxy dress when her husband David made his first appearance for Los Angeles Galaxy in 2007.
Vorderman added: 'I must have 100, of which 30 are Roland Mouret and VB. If you find a label that suits you, stick to it! Herve Leger is great, too.'
