Shivering, she tells herself it's just for three minutes and, as she is jigging up and down, she tries to imagine she is "lying on a warm beach in Wales".

Vorderman captioned the post: "CRYO....COOOOLLDDDD....in a bikini and furry boots and thermal gloves...got it down to MINUS 196C today.....omg three minutes for healing and health.....loved it actually.... Stops me being a wuss."
