Nicki Minaj was having a good oul stalk through her own Instagram page this weekend and decided to post a throwback to last year's VMAs.

While she went on a little rant about her hair (yeah, we didn't get it either), everybody else noticed that she looked like she was playing a game of Countdown.

And to be honest, they way she placed her hands on the words is uncanny to how Carol Vorderman or Rachel Riley pose during the show.

Of course, Twitter went wild for this, and many users took the p*ss:

Oh, and while we have you; don't forget to have your say in the inaugural SHEmazing Awards this May! It's time to vote, and you can do it right here!

The joy of Countdown's letters board is that things are left totally up to chance – and every once in a while, we're treated to an epic combo of vowels and consonants.

Like earlier this week, when the show's co-presenter Rachel Riley saw a pretty unfortunate word arise in front of her on the board. After pulling out a 'C', an 'L' and an 'I', Rachel managed to hide her smile as she pulled out the fourth letter, which was – you've guessed it – a 'T':

Oops.

And the silliness didn't stop there, because a few letters later, Rachel was left with this:

The English presenter took to social media after the show, though she seemed surprised with all the attention the unfortunate letter combination had garnered:

Have we hung up our hats when it comes to partying the night away on New Year's Eve or is it totally reasonable to hit the hay before the clock strikes midnight?

A new survey of Netflix users around the globe has revealed that many of us want to pack in the annual December 31 celebrations long before midnight.

The survey found that 49 percent of parents think 9pm is the new midnight – not just for their kids – and 41 percent of parents in the US will trick their children into going to bed before the bells ring in the new year.

But it's not just the presence of littlies in the house that pushes some of us to forgo staying up until midnight.

After all, who hasn't feigned illness at least once on NYE in favour of a movie night or even an evening spent cuddled up in bed? If you want to celebrate New Year's a little early this year, we may have the solution to all of that FOMO.

No matter where you are, or what time it is, start your party early by looking up New Year's Eve Countdown on Netflix. That will then bring you to a ten second countdown, so you won't have to miss out on the whole THREE, TWO, ONE, fiasco. 

Pretty cool, huh? We don't know about you, but our food comas tomorrow night might just have us clicking on the ten second countdown at 10pm… or maybe 9pm.

When a lot of people – men and women alike – hit the big 5-0, their need to keep fit and appear super sexy goes somewhat out the window.

Not 54-year-old Carol Vorderman, however: she stepped out last night looking sexier than ever as she left Scott's restaurant in London's swanky Mayfair.

Sporting her new bright blonde locks, Carol re-wore a vivid green Roland Mouret dress – the same, headline-grabbing dress she donned back in 2005 to great acclaim.

The figure-hugging dress was from Mouret's spring/summer '06 collection which took the fashion world by storm with celebrities such as Cameron Diaz and Victoria Beckham wearing them to red carpet events. 

To update the look for a new decade, Carol teamed the slinky number with a chunky white belt and light khaki lace-up heels.

And we think she wore it better last night than she did ten years ago.

Carol has clearly been working out as the show-stopping frock clung to her tiny, gym-toned figure and for a woman her age (or any age!) she wasn't afraid to show off her body. But that's no surprise as recently she has been sharing snaps of her enviable physique on social media. All we can say is… fair play.

As many celebs these days would not dare to be seen in the same outfit twice, Carol is not afraid to re-use items from her wardrobe. She has stated in the past that she doesn't care what people think and once she likes something she will stick to it.  

We have to say though, if we looked that good when we hit our 50s, we won't complain!
