Carol, 60, is best known as the presenter of the game program Countdown on Welsh television. Born in Bedfordshire on Christmas Eve of 1960, she relocated to Prestatyn in North Wales when her parents broke up and she was raised there.

It was while working as a junior civil engineer at Dinorwig Power Station in Wales that the young star studied engineering at the University of Cambridge. It wasn’t until her twenties that she was cast in her first television role on Countdown, but since then she has been on several more series including Loose Women, Have I Got News for You, The Sunday Night Project and Lorraine.

As if she wasn’t busy enough conquering the world of television, Carol has joined the Air Cadets as a full member. Following her debut in clinging bandage dresses, Carol has been hailed as one of the most attractive women in Britain. Carol is also known for presenting the Pride of Britain Awards since 1999, when they initially began.

Up, Up And Away

Carol had wanted to be a pilot since she was a child, but she decided that a Cambridge degree would be more advantageous in the long term. Carol revealed that she was hindered by sexism in the 1970s and that she attempted but failed to join the air squadron at university. But in 2013, she earned her pilot’s license and set out to become the ninth woman in history to fly solo around the world. However, her plan was derailed by her mother’s death and her suicidal depression.

After spotting a newspaper ad calling for women with strong math abilities, her mother arranged for the then 21-year-old to have an audition for the program. Carol got the position despite her youth and worked on Countdown alongside Richard Whiteley from 1982 until his death in June 2005.

She went on to work with Des Lynam and later Des O’Connor until 2008. Rachel Riley took her place and has created quite a stir. Carol became one of the most paid women in Britain after 26 years on the program.

Curvy When Carol appeared on I’m A Celebrity, she raised the temperature of the jungle to new heights. She was one of the twelve Australian stars that competed in 2016. After landing in the jungle, she struck the ground running, winning the first eating Bushtucker Trial with Gogglebox actor Scarlett Moffatt. Carol also displayed her naughty side, flirting with comic Joel Dommett and sighing with pleasure during a joint massage session around the campfire. After spending nineteen days in the forest, Carol became the sixth campmate to depart.

Downtime

Carol’s preferred method of unwinding is to watch an episode of Coronation Street, which she never misses since “it’s real life.” In December 2017, she described the show as sad, pleading for it to be “funny again.” “I’ve put this on my list to Santa this year…” Carol tweeted. PUR-LEAZE Father Christmas, please make Corrie amusing again the last time I laughed watching it was about September 2016. Even delightful Mary has become sorrowful. #BringCorrieComedyBack

Hollywood wife

After admitting to having a crush on her, she may have dated Hollywood pin-up George Clooney. When he got sick and was locked in his hotel room watching TV while in London, he found Countdown. “I admire the dark-haired girl who helps display it,” he stated. That young lady is astute. She always knows what I’m going to say before I do. She’s a ruthless woman.”

Carol Vorderman purchases weights to build up a home gym, but she cannot get them upstairs

Carol Vorderman splurged on weights to build up her lockdown gym at home. The actor, however, ran into one huge issue: the weights were too heavy for her to move upstairs. The 60-year-old Countdown star was left chuckling as she struggled to raise the 40-kilogram weights from her hallway.

However, the TV star was undeterred and shattered the crates with her foot to remove the specialized exercise equipment from the cartons. “I can’t pull them out of the box,” she admitted to fans first. Carol had devised a strategy to keep herself occupied while the UK was amid its third national lockdown. In a candid talk with her 79.1k followers, the bombshell pledged to be “as fit as a fit thing on a good day.”

Carol Vorderman, 60, exudes age-defying beauty in a seldom-seen makeup-free photo

Carol Vorderman made an out-of-character appearance on Sunday. The 60-year-old Countdown actress opted to go out without make-up, which is unusual for the age-defying celebrity who likes to dress up her appearance with glitzy cosmetics. She informed her admirers that she “couldn’t be bothered” to raid her make-up bag before walking outdoors to enjoy the covering of snow that fell overnight near her Bristol home, so she went out without mascara, bronzer, blusher, or lipstick.

Carol demonstrated that she doesn’t need make-up to look beautiful in a stunning selfie taken outdoors, proving that she doesn’t require it. The mathematic genius was stunned by her wide smile and the fur hood framing her face, and brunette curls.

“Outside before the sun had a chance to get going….excuse the #NoMakeUp look…couldn’t be bothered,” Carol said on Instagram. “Greetings from Bristol.” Carol’s supporters expressed their adoration for her skin tone in the comments section. “Naturally gorgeous,” wrote one. “Wonderful Carol = and the weather is stunning too,” said a second, and “You look gorgeous, Carol,” said a third.

Others expressed their admiration for her appearance without make-up, writing, “You look good without any” and “Beautiful without all the make-up.”
