When Vorderman isn’t busy appearing on television, working out, piloting a jet, or posing for pictures with Tom Cruise, she’s probably hanging out with one of her five “special friends.”
Read on to find out more about Vorderman and the individuals she has on her roster.
A veteran of British game show Countdown, breakfast show Lorraine, The Great Celebrity Bake Off, and ITV’s This Morning, Carol Vorderman, 62, just celebrated 40 years in front of the camera.
The lovely blonde is more than just good-looking; she’s also quite intelligent.
The mother of two children earned her private pilot’s license in 2014, and the following year she joined NASA as a board member for the Challenger Center for Space Science Education, where she lobbied for greater participation in the field among young people.
The former host of “Have I Got News for You” keeps her knockout body in shape by consistently hitting the gym while she’s not on television.
“Women who are in their 60s, we weren’t brought up to exercise…I think as you get older, you need to do weight-bearing stuff and you need to stretch and squat. If you don’t, even for a couple of weeks, you start creaking,” Vorderman shared in an interview with HELLO! “Because I work in a visual world you have to pay more attention, as do other women in my position, to how you look–more than you’d really like to.”
She recently posted pictures of herself in the gym, flaunting her curves in a grey crop top and skintight leggings.
Vorderman wrote as a caption for the photo, “Five gym sessions this week. Just so good to get the routine going again. Eating clean, loads of water, lots of walking, fresh air…..my happy state to be honest.”
Images of a perspiring Vorderman working out with weights and cable rope curls revealed her ample posterior region.
The woman’s admirers were quick to comment on how beautiful she was. “Eternal youth fountain!” One user comments, “So young looking,” while another user simply says, “Supervorders.”
Some people used it to flirt, writing things like There’s no way I could keep up with you, but I would like to find out,” and a second writes, “I think I need to watch the 3rd one again another few dozen times to get the technique down.”
A third, commenting on her stable of men, writes: “Wow what a way to spend a weekend. a special friend.”
Her co-host on This Morning, Dermot O’Leary, made a joke about Vorderman’s romantic life, prompting this post.
O’Leary, a 50-year-old comedian who previously participated on The X Factor UK, made fun of Vorderman, whose absence from the broadcast that morning made her an easy target.
In a well timed joke, O’Leary mocked Vorderman’s “10-year-long no strings-attached relationships with multiple men, who she calls her ‘special friends.’” His co-host, Alison Hammond, burst into fits of laughter.
Hagan Fox, an astrologer, took calls from fans, and one woman who had been seeing three different men called for advice on how to deal with what she called “a bit of a love square.”
When Hammond heard “love square,” he asked, “Did you say love square?”
“You wouldn’t be Carol Vorderman, would you?” Dermot chimed in.
Former Loose Women hostess Vorderman is known for her openness about her personal life; for example, she once said in an interview that she finds it convenient to be involved with several guys at once because she doesn’t want to fall in love.
Vorderman, who was previously married to Christopher Mather (1985–1986) and to Patrick King (1990–2000), the father of her two children, has remarked that she enjoys the freedom and independence that comes with being single after her 2007 divorce from journalist Des Kelly.
“I don’t really want to marry again. I don’t really want to live with a man again. Have to look after him all the time. But this is a time to break this nonsense taboo, which is a person should only be looking for one other person that satisfies everything in their life. That’s hell.”
Vorderman claimed she is not a jealous person and justified her numerous boyfriends by saying they are all unmarried and on the lookout for love. It’s a great area to raise a family.
“They don’t know each other, but they know about it. It’s a very honest relationship,” she said of the five men she calls her “special friends.” “One’s been a friend for 11 years, one for seven. My kids [Katie, 31, and Cameron, 25], know most of them.”
And as evidence of her single status, she uploaded a cute video of herself lip syncing and dancing to “It’s Raining Men.”
Praising her enviable dance moves, fans jumped in with comments like, “Carol that is absolutely brilliant it’s raining men brilliant dance moves,” and “The Vord has defeated the Borg. Resistance is Futile.” Another netizen writes, “Bloody gorgeous woman.”
We admire Carol Vorderman’s honesty and integrity, as well as her dedication to her exercise routine.
