The paper have pictures of Carols bloated face, I thought when I saw her on TV a few weeks ago how odd she looked and thought maybe it was Botex gone wrong, however she says its medication following the death of her mother,meow awful that medication can do something like that to you, she must have had an allergic reaction. Years ago I developed Cellulitus,so very painful and unsightly , when I was put on some painkillers after surgery.

Given that Cellulitis like its close cousin Erysipelas is an infection of the skin and the tissues below the skin surface, I wonder if your episode luckylegs was not because of a tiny abrasion letting the bacteria in, or even caught in hospital, rather than a reaction to painkillers.

A friend of mine had this whilst on a short break in London. It sounds a rather nasty and painful condition.

Carol Vorderman has already had so much work done that I don't buy her explanation that it is medication. She's got "pillow face", similar to Madonna and many others.
