She might be approaching her 60th birthday, but Carol Vorderman is in the prime of her life. Throughout our chat, the star tells us how happy she is, saying, “I love every second of my life.” And anyone who has seen a recent picture of her will know that she’s never looked better.
So what’s her secret? And how has she managed to achieve a figure that Kim Kardashian would kill for?
When we gently probe Carol about the fact that she’s admitted to having Botox in the past, she politely tells us, “Oh, I’m not going down that route!” But she does tell us she keeps fit by hiking in the Pembrokeshire hills, where she now lives.
The TV and radio presenter’s love life is also off-limits, sadly, but she’s good-humored about it and laughs as she tells us she’s “fine” in that department.
She is, however, happy to open up about lots of other topics, such as how she kept busy during lockdown by launching The Maths Factor website, which was designed to help kids (and parents) during the school closures, and she’s also hosting the 21st Pride of Britain Awards.
Here, the inspiring star, who is a proud mum to Katie, 29, and Cameron, 24, reveals her tactics for preserving her mental health in these uncertain times, why her healthy eating habits have gone out of the window and why she loves nothing more than laughing with her mates…
How will this year’s Pride of Britain Awards differ from previous years, Carol?
