‘That’s what you think!’ Carol Vorderman, 62, makes hilarious X-rated quip about her ‘many friends’

Appearing on Friday’s This Morning, Carol Vorderman made an hilarious X-rated quip about her ‘many friends.’

The Countdown icon, 62, was on the daytime ITV show alongside Vanessa Feltz to discuss the issues of the day with hosts Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond.

The foursome were chatting about the shocking viral video of a dog off its lead, which viciously attacked police horses in a London park. 

Alison suggested: ‘People need to be more in control of their dogs, would you agree?’ to which Carol responded: Well, I am a big walker and walk in the countryside every day I can.’

‘With your dog?’ asked Alison, with Carol clarifying: ‘No, I don’t have a dog but I would LOVE to have a dog, it wouldn’t be fair on them. I’m not at home all the time so I can’t have a dog.’

Alison joked: ‘You haven’t got time for a dog you’ve got too many friends,’ which led to the group giggling, with Dermot cheekily adding: ‘None of them are leashed!’

Carol quipped back: ‘That’s what you think! shhhh,’ before laughing with Vanessa about her saucy comment.

In January, Carol revealed that she has five ‘special friends’, while on Michelle Visage’s Rule Breakers podcast.

Giving a very candid insight into her complicated love life, the Countdown favourite discussed the ‘system’ she has had in place for the past 10 years.

Carol said she’s ‘not into one night stands’ but dates multiple men whom she affectionately names her ‘special friends’.

When asked by Michelle if she was in a relationship, Carol quipped: ‘No! I’m having the best time. I’ve spoken about this once. I have a system which I’ve had for 10 years. They’re called ‘special friends’. 

‘I spoke a couple of months ago about having ‘special friends’ and it was like, again, the world had fallen in for some people but actually what I found was there was an awful lot of women who said ‘I’d never thought about it like this’.’ 

Carol added she has been in ‘long term relationships, if you like’ with her special friends – and has been dating some for years. 

Love life: In the early 2000s, she met Des Kelly at a Christmas party and they embarked on a long-term relationship together (pictured together in 2004)

Love life: Carol has been single since she split from journalist Des Kelly in 2007 (pictured together in 2004) 

She said: ‘One’s 11 years, one’s seven years, you know everyone is single. It’s a happy place. I hasten to add I’m not into one night stands.’

‘The language around a woman of my generation is that if you had more than one partner when you got married you were this you were that.

‘Everything was derogatory about a woman, that was the environment I was growing up in. It was like ‘she’s desperate’, everything was judgmental.’

Carol went on: ‘Well you can take all that and you can throw it out the window, that’s my polite way of saying it. 

‘But there’s no harm being done. It’s a happy place to live. The only thing I was sold when I was young was a fairytale with a poor girl meets a prince they get married and they lived happily ever after.’

‘This whole assumption: ‘Have you got a partner yet? Have you got a man?’ Well, no actually I’ve got five.’

Carol has been single since she split from journalist Des Kelly in 2007, after being married twice, first to Christopher Mather from 1985 to 1986 and then to second husband Patrick King from 1990 until 2000. The couple share two children.
