Why Carol Vorderman doesn’t want to be ‘boxed down’ by a man

Well, for the moment at least…

WELL-PRESERVED national treasure Carol Vorderman has revealed that is relishing being a single woman in her 50s right now.

The twice divorced mum-of-two, 55, split from her toyboy boyfriend of two years, Graham ‘Duffy’ Duff, 41, last year.

Opening up about where she’s at in life at the moment, the TV presenter said: "I had a great marriage, which wasn't great at the end but during it was fantastic, and I have children who are older so I've ticked all those boxes. I'm a good mother, I'm a good daughter, I look after my mother, and I'm financially stable.

"I have the most amazing selection of friends from all over the world and they're always saying, 'Oh, come on, Carol! Come and see me!'"

She added to : "They're just an amazing bunch of people and I don't want to be boxed down with all that family stuff, I've got my family. I'm never, ever lonely and I like my life."

However, that’s not to say that she would rule out at relationship further down the line.

And with brains, beauty and wit on her side, any prospective partner would be lucky to have her.

The former Loose Women panellist mused: "Maybe in the future. I don't know, maybe when I'm in my sixties I might think differently but, right now, I love my life as it is. I decide exactly what I'm going to do and when I want to do it.”
