The star cationed the photo: “Happy 37th Birthday to me
“I’ve LOVED my 50s. They started with an astronaut friend taking this photo up to the Space Station so I could “sunbathe in space”

And another fan simply wrote: “Knockout”
Carol used to date a space man and she asked her Nasa contact to take her bikini photo into space last year.
The curvy star boasted about the snap being blasted into space and revealed that she specifically wanted a photo of the pic with the earth behind it.
She commented: “FIRST SUNBATHING IN SPACE?
“Persuaded an astronaut buddy to take my pic to the International Space Station and take a photo of it with the earth behind.”
Carol is obsessed with space and said in December that she’d love to be the first person to have sex off-world.
She said on Loose Women: “I would like to go to space and do naughty things in space.”
Nadia Sawalha then interjected: “Basically she wants to be the first person to have sex in space!”
Carol quickly fired back: “Not by myself!”
Jane Moore then asked if it would be possible with gravity and Carol told her: “That’s what we are debating now.”
The star then opened up about her current relationship status – revealing she is single but dating.
She said: “I have not got a new man. I had the best first date ever.
“It was surreal and he’s an amazing person and he’s not British and he’s not famous.”
Carol previously revealed that she was enjoying dating a string of toyboys and she wasn’t looking for a keeper.

She said: “Not everyone is looking for a keeper, and that’s the point really. Some are… I’m not.
“Surprise surprise! I’m not at all. I couldn’t think of anything worse at the moment to be perfectly honest.”
