Carol Vorderman, 61, discusses her ‘number of special friends’ as she dishes out dating advice

Carol Vorderman candidly discussed her ‘special friends’ as she dished out dating advice and the reasons why she date’s multiple men on Friday. 

The presenter, 61, even revealed that one of her pals was an astronaut who ‘calls her from the space station,’ adding that she ‘feels free’ since choosing not to remarry. 

Showing off her hourglass curves in a figure-hugging chequered dress, Carol joined the hosts of This Morning to answer a callers burning question during the advice segment. 

Phoning in to the show, the 52-year-old viewer asked both Carol and Gyles Brandreth what age group he should ‘pitch himself to’ when looking for ladies to date. 

The Countdown star explained: ‘I live my life in chapters, and you said and this chapter since I was about 50. So for the last decade or so, I’ve lived a life which is much freer. 

‘I’ve never felt freer. So I have ignored the looking for one person and I have a number of what I’ve called ‘special friends’.

This is not the first time that Carol has candidly discussed the reasons why she dates multiple men after she told the Loose Women panel her choses earlier this year. 

The Countdown star told how she chooses not to have a serious relationship in her sixties as it gives her time for her outdoor pursuits and camping trips. 

She explained to panellists Charlene White, Katie Piper, Brenda Edwards and Nadia Sawalha how often female friends her age admit they have regrets over marriage.

She continued: ‘You know, I don’t really want to marry again. I don’t really want to live with a man again. Have to look after him all the time. But this is a time to break this nonsense taboo, which is a person should only be looking for one other person that satisfies everything in their life. That’s hell.’

Adding of her ‘special friends’ Carol explained: ‘They don’t know each other, but they know about it. It’s a very honest relationship. 

‘One of them has gone on for many more years than my marriage. Yeah, it’s over 10 years. Another is 7. He’s an astronaut. He rang me from the space station.’
