Carol Vorderman reveals why she’s living life to the full and is the happiest she’s ever been now she’s in her 50s.
More than 35 years after bursting onto our screens as a Countdown brainbox, Carol Vorderman shows no signs of slowing down as she prepares to host The Pride of Britain awards for the 19th year running. In fact when we sit down with Carol, 57, she admits to being in a constant ‘pursuit of knowledge’. But that’s not to say she doesn’t know how to have fun: Carol – twice named Rear of the Year – insists she’s happier than ever, something she attributes to hanging out with her daughter (who’s studying at Cambridge) and putting her life before work.
‘I reached 50, had taken up flying and realised it changed my life, and made me realise I have so much I need to do in my next 50 years. I’m not dead yet! So if I’m going to do that, I want to be as healthy and fit as I can. Obviously I can’t be as fit as I was in my 20s, 30s, or even my 40s, but I can be the best version of me at my age.’
