Carol has always come across as having a big ego about her looks. Did anyone ever see her on the Celeb Apprentice when she was dressed in some tight fitting outfit to demonstate her team's product? It was all - 'Look at me, look at me'. She's constantly been in the press wearing badly fitting clothes but she gets media attention. Some like her look and cor, pwoar and say 'I would,' and others think she looks a mess.
She has had far too much work done though. She's smart and not just in the academic sense. Carol has common sense and intelligence but the plastic surgery etc. just doesn't make sense except for as I said before - she has a big ego about her looks and also knows what she looks like makes a big difference to her media profile.
