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 wouldn't go searching for Amanda Holden on telly, Gagajo but I did notice her knocking down a wall with a sledgehammer the other week - very impressive! Alan Carr was watching in admiration
And Carol's maths lessons and books for children were very good.

It's a pity they feel the need to change themselves beyond recognition.

Liz Hurley is famous for being famous I think 😃

I thought Liz Hurley was famous for a safety pin dress (and being "friendly" with Hugh Grant)

Well, some one who picked me up for using the word slapper and pointed me to the Urban dictionary certainly moves in different circles or reads different literature to me.
I certainly did not know what the word meant in slang or I would never have used it. I used it in the old-fashioned way.
I think I need an updated course on everyday filthy slang.

Callistemon21 Tue 24-Jan-23 18:04:59

Oh yes, and she has a lovely house 🙂

Callistemon21 Tue 24-Jan-23 18:06:06

That was in reply to Glorianny

And her ex was the late Shane Warne.

What's the difference between openly having a special someone in your life and openly having 6?

Can't see an issue

Confusion. 😄

Serial monogamy is less confusing.

VioletSky Tue 24-Jan-23 18:17:12

Also

How is her having multiple partners worse for young girls than sending the message to young girls they are repugnant if they exceed an amount of sexual partners or just actually enjoy sex but don't want a relationship?

VioletSky Tue 24-Jan-23 18:19:31

Also also

How are women having plastic surgery responsible for other women having plastic surgery when people think the plastic surgery makes them look worse anyway?

Surely women having plastic surgery want to look the way plastic surgery makes them look unless it is botched...

So if they are gappy why would anyone judge what they choose to do with their own bodies?

VioletSky Tue 24-Jan-23 18:21:26

Feminsim peeps

Come on

Free the nipple or something

Let women be proud of who they are and how they look

Women are women's own worst enemy

Callistemon21 Tue 24-Jan-23 18:24:01

Let women be proud of who they are and how they look

Hurrah!
Exactly what I was advocating!!!

Carol should have been proud of who she was and how she looked without feeling pressurised by the media to change her face and body so drastically.

VioletSky Tue 24-Jan-23 18:27:17

Why would you blame her for that?

Women be judging her before surgery

Women be judging her after

Makes no difference

It's her choice, tis not your face or body

VioletSky Tue 24-Jan-23 18:30:12

Also, 3rd one?

Also, the type of happiness people get for being all judgemental and offended is fleeting and therefore addictive and unhealthy

There is a better way 💕

I think that for someone that brags about her wonderful life she has the opposite. Why would she keep changing her appearance and wear such revealing outfits. If it was a man talking about their sex life and dressing like a character out of Saturday Night Fever, I would think the same. It’s not a nice look and it must be embarrassing for her family. It’s a shame she feels the need. I wonder what the men think, bit worried for obvious reasons I think.

I am not too keen on Carol Vorderman.but not bothered either way what she looks like.it's her money and her body
I'm sure lots of ordinary everyday women of her age would love to look if not younger, better than they do.
I notice women who look old act old
Carol is making herself feel better by having cosmetic surgery .so up to her
I think she's looks great.but gone a bit over the top bodywise, a bit Jessica Rabbit
I don't think she should be broadcasting her love life though
She is only 62 that isn't old these days
Good luck to her
I don't think because of how she looks she should be called a slapper,
The.men she's talking about might be just friends.with or without benefits

I'd be worried about getting their name right in the throes of passion.

"Dave, oh Dave, you're so wonderful"
"Actually, it's Tuesday and it's Joe"

Callistemon, that made me laugh .

For a woman who, as she constantly tells us, is intelligent and has a number of degrees, she appears to gain her fame from selfies in ridiculous clothing, inordinate amounts of plastic surgery, fake blonde hair and bragging about her love life! As if everyone is as fascinated by her as she is! Give me Katie Price anyday-at least she’s honest! Vorderman get on my nerves so much that as soon as I see her plastic mug gurning at me from the screen, I immediately turn over. She’s no ambassador for the older woman, relying on stereotypical ‘female’ behaviours as she does! Would we be so forgiving if it was a MAN who was doing this?

Galaxy62 Wed 25-Jan-23 11:23:39

Hope she’s taking precautions

knspol Wed 25-Jan-23 11:24:07

Don't really care! She seems to make a great living from having a good figure and wearing tight clothes. As for the rest of it so long as nobody gets hurt what does it matter?

searose Wed 25-Jan-23 11:42:05

Yes I wondered about that!

Fine, but I just don't want to have to read about it all over the place. Her private life is her private life- she can keep it private!

that was in response to GagaJo's comment and Sarah 75's response

*But I am glad older women's sexuality is coming out as opposed to a mans view I heard recently, "oh women aren't interested in sex after the menopause".*

I always mentally translate that as "my wife isn't interested in sex with me because I treat her as if she were my mother and have put on 3 stone."

If each of the five also have 5 "friends" that could be Carole having relations with 25 contacts at least involved. Of coure the 5 could be totally exclusive for Carole. Just hope so or they have excellent sexual health management.
