Carol Vorderman’s Very Modern Love Life

(228 Posts)

Hot on the heels of Prince Harry oversharing intimate details of his life we now have Carol Vorderman appearing on 2 daytime programmes letting the public know how free she feels since deciding she would not have just one male relationship in her life, but 5 “special friends” . (‘Friends with benefits’ in other words).

We discuss other TV revelations on GN and I wonder what do you think of this one?

I've realised something about Gransnet this week.

Its just a place where women feel entitled to call other women names, and feel superior to them. Then defend it by saying they asked for it.

What a disappointment.

Totally agree volver, sounds like a witch hunt.

Sounds like Carol has it sussed!

This all reminds me of the story about what a woman needs in a man: she needs a strong man to keep her and her home safe, do all the diy stuff and ensure she's comfortable. She needs a man with a strong financial background who will make sure she is always well provided for. She needs a man to be her equal in intelligence and culture who can always be relied upon for great converstation. And she needs a man who is sensitive and caring and will be in tune with her both physically and mentally.

And most of all, she needs to make sure that these men never meet each other ...

I think STDs are very much an issue if you have so many non-exclusive relationships. In effect just how many people is she sleeping with?

Hmm... Yes..... She actually sounds sad, lonely, desperate? Maybe. And looks, well like she's had £1000s worth of engineering carried out. A bit of a spectacle I reckon. She's always been just awful at her makeup plastercation, always harsh, too much, too 80s! She's a handsome woman , no mistake and strong features do not I prove with enhancement to that level. She seems to think that looking her best entails piling on as much slunk as she possibly can. Does herself down but somehow sad.? I'm not jealous, I'm way older than her and frankly? Look a darned site better!

What a dreadful post

SuzieHi

Sounds like she’s got an active imagination! Has she got children or family ? How embarrassing for them!

She has grown up children who live at home with her.

She said she had five special friends she did not say that she was having sex with all of them every week, or even that she had sex every time they met.

Gabrielle56 Thu 26-Jan-23 09:39:26

I doubt std an issue , however being ripped off is and so is 'kiss and tell' unless she's clinical enough to demand NDAs from all and sundry? No doubt she dishes up a fair whack of Dosh one way or another with these blokes, win win for them, not a good look for her.she will be 'paying for it' one way or another.

I agree she looked an idiot dressed like young woman. No I’m not jealous just dress modern but sense able. I’m fed up of the media showing gays trans in your face live isn’t like that unless it’s a big city

Tamayra Wed 25-Jan-23 21:41:21

Didn’t know who she was Her ‘fame’ hasn’t reached Australia
Googled her She looks like an aged Barbie Doll !!!

Why does she need to boast? She's not a teenager. Methinks she doth protest too much. I have a neighbour who brings into many conversations her "hot" sex life with her 90 year old boyfriend. I don't want to know and wonder who she's trying to impress.

Send him round.
Can he iron?
Clean a car?

Pursed-lipped and lemon-faced I am not. If you think it’s fine to boast to the world about the number of sexual partners you have and think it’s a good example to set, then we must agree to differ.

Me neither.

Carol can do what she likes but I find the body and face sculpturing more worrying.

Now, where do I find 3 men?
One is live-in, quite useful
Another pops round to do the garden

2 down, three to go 😁

TillyTrotter Wed 25-Jan-23 19:38:38

I am not offended (upset, annoyed, resentful are the dictionary definitions of offend),
I just wonder why the need to “tell all”. Once it is out there it stays there and Carol may regret it.

sparkynan Wed 25-Jan-23 19:33:49

Well you should all know the answer if you are offended by Carols revelations....switch off or change the channel....

tictacnana Wed 25-Jan-23 19:28:35

Oh, dear ! This is too scuzzy. Do what you please, Carol, but keep it to yourself. Family members may not want the general public to about your what should be PRIVATE LIFE. What an embarrassment! ! Yuk !

GreenGran78 Wed 25-Jan-23 18:27:06

I never watch the woman, but she must be putting herself at risk of catching something nasty from one of her Companions', as the Maltese's ad puts it. Presuming that she is also 1 of 5 for each of her Friends, the risk of picking up a STD must be pretty high.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 25-Jan-23 18:22:29

Don’t they say that those who talk most about it aren’t getting it?

Delila Wed 25-Jan-23 18:22:23

Hahaha! You’ve got to laugh - it’s all so ridiculous. I imagine Carol Vorderman put this out there in the full knowledge of attracting a wide variety of opinions. She can take it. It’s what she wants, it’s how she operates.

Loveisallu Wed 25-Jan-23 18:01:48

I agree. The sheer amount of negativity toward Carol Vordeman by other pursed-lipped lemon-faced women on this site is ridiculous. Shame on you. I'm out.

Callistemon21 Wed 25-Jan-23 17:59:55

Interested

Oh dear, I haven't emptied the dishwasher this morning. I better get on, and then start looking for 5 men, one's got to keep with the times!!!

Oh no, Interested, if you have to cope with five men and their vagaries, you need at least one who's handy in the kitchen!
another who can wield a duster and vacuum cleaner, another good at gardening, a DIY expert, and a laundryman.

Occasionally you might find all those attributes in one person 😁

annifrance Wed 25-Jan-23 17:05:30

Never mind the laundry, IQ etc. If she has 5 friends with benefits and they all have the same then what a massive risk of STDs - odds stacked against them surely. Doesn't bare thinking about.

volver Wed 25-Jan-23 17:03:13

Ach well Carol, if you're reading.

At least it keeps the wolfpack away from Meghan for a while.
