She has a fabulous figure, but it's a shame that she appears to be ruining her face with too much cosmetic surgery. Maybe it's because women in the media are under much more pressure than their mail counterparts to remain youthful?
Of course it is. She's a classic case in point. Traded in for a younger model on Countdown; yet the male presenter can be any age and look any which way. It's depressing. And that's the world she lives in and competes in. What's she supposed to do? Go home and take up knitting?

I assumed she quit Countdown?

I never understood why she was axed from Loose Women however.

I think she's gone into the cosmetic surgery and just gone "two from the top and any other four, please".
I thought I was looking at the woman from Corri who lives with Dev, she has that same puffed up look. I don't mind a bit of filler or Botox I had it to reduce the savage vertical frown line over my nose ... but why oh why do so many have to overdo it?
Having said that, I like her in it, I like them all so far and for once I know them all apart from the tall dark girl .

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.
I like Carol and I remember when she first came to Countdown, she was mousy and quite plain looking. Then she suddenly realised she was not only clever but attractive too. I think she has gone over the top lately but I still like her.

I think she feels she needs to keep looking young to get work, maybe the jungle will change her, who knows.

I think she looked better brunette, don't think the blonde hair suits her. It's her choice though.

I like her a lot. She doesn't give a monkeys and does it all with good humour. She's had so much stick online. Whatever she's done with her face, it's her choice. Anyway it's not that bad. For instance no comparison between her and, say, Madonna and/or that Amy whatshername from TOWIE. So good luck to her.

Carol likes to be the centre of attention and laps all of the attention up. Hence talking to the toad last night on the highlight show.

Camera time, look,at me , look at me. Bore off!

I thought she quit Countdown when Richard Whiteley died? They were very very good friends and she couldn't imagine working on the show without him or so I was led to believe?

I'm loving her so far. She's fiesty and gets stuck right in. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the chatting to the toad, although she could have been sitting there for hours and glad of the company when he turned up!

Reports at the time suggest she wasn't axed, but left to pursue her flying. She just couldn't commit enough time to Loose Women.

I thought she left countdown of her own accord?

Facelift I think. Her eyes are pulled at the side to me. Loads of fillers as well. Total mess
Yep definitely a facelift, there's more going on there than just botox and filler. Tits look fake too.

I can't abide her, or that Moffatt girl so I'm giving this series a swerve. Saw the pics in The Mail

Wasn't there a row about pay or something, she wanted more than was being offered and she flounced?

I'm sure someone will rush in to correct me if I'm mistaken

I think it was down to them not wanting to pay her the huge amount of money she commanded

according to her, she was told she'd get a 90% pay cut if that is true they were effectively booting her

Ah sounds plausible I suppose.
Unless she didn't do the maths properly

Yes, this is what I heard and I suspect it is true.

No one could look worse than Donatella Versace, or that woman on mob wives

She says not - but that she was pushed . It was very big in the papers at the time

As I already posted up thread, yes that was the reason she gave at the time.

I think TPTB will be pushing for a Carol win and an awful lot of her in the jungle hut giving us her opinions

I really enjoyed her story of how she got the gig on 'Countdown'. Didn't realise she's not married, also really enjoyed the heart to heart between Larry and Wayne. Wayne is very sensitive, it's nice to see.

*dons tin hat*

Is it only me, or is it just women who get the 'I don't know what it is about her, but I really can't stand her' comments?

I thought she was great last night. Smart and beautiful and funny too. But it's early days. Give her a chance!
It really annoys me that women are not supposed to/allowed to criticise other women. If we do it is supposedly because we are jealous.

Well I am not the slightest bit jealous of Ms Vorderman. Yes she is smart and, as someone who is absolutely terrible at maths, I wish I could be a fraction as good. However I do not think she is beautiful. She used to be quite attractive but now just looks awful/ridiculous/plastic etc.

She has a pretty good figure although her boobs are too big in my view to have a perfect figure. Always wearing clothes that look 2 sizes to small however does not do her any favours.

I also think she comes across as somewhat false and totally up herself. I would never watch Loose Women when she was on it.


I agree, she looks amazing, I don't get all these 'melted face' comments, she looks fabulous. I think she'll be great, she's confident, strong and I bet she's loads of fun. I hope she does really well.
Have you looked at her face? It looks plastic, ridiculous and unnatural.

My husband, who rarely makes comments about people's appearance actually said "Good grief what the hell has she done to herself".

Not just women no. A couple of weeks back on the live SCD thread there were countless posts saying exactly that about the pro dancer Giovanni.

Bad vibes or whatever you want to call it can come from either sex, not everything is necessarily a gender issue.

She's been married a couple of times but what I didn't know until just now was that after her second marriage broke up she lived with Talksport presenter Des Kelly for going on 10 years........
