During a live segment on This Morning, Carol Vorderman was caught aback when a viewer asked about her sex life. She responded sheepishly, claiming that she “couldn’t possibly comment” on her private left.
Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary discussed the week’s news with guests Gyles Brandreth and Carol on Friday’s episode of the ITV show.
They did, however, bring up a recent newspaper item entitled “They’re gorgeous, ageless, and British – the emergence of the high-end hun,” which included the former Countdown star.
After enumerating the qualities that make someone a “high-end hun,” Alison turned to Carol and read, ‘Maintains a great sex life. Is that true?’
‘I can’t possibly comment!’ the 62-year-old answered, looking thoroughly embarrassed.
Gyles, who is good friend with Carol, joked that “half a dozen people would vouch for that one.”
Dermot, 49, seemed to shake his hand in jest as he drank from his water glass, and Carol nudged Gyles playfully for his comment.
Following this, 47-year-old Alison said, “So Carol, how do you feel to be honoured in this manner?”
‘Well I saw this yesterday, somebody sent it to me, and then I was filming yesterday, so someone went out to get the newspaper,’ Carol recalled.
‘You know the bit that I particularly cried laughing about – it said, Carol Vorderman recently said she has five lovers, said, “It’s a little bit of icing on the cake.”’
The panel all erupted into laughter, with Carol gasping while confessing that she knew she had truly spoken that sentence.
The precise phrase from The Telegraph’s piece about “high-end huns” reads as follows: “They are also into Carol Vorderman, the 62-year-old, Cambridge-educated former Countdown host who recently confessed she has five lovers, a situation she described as “a little bit of icing on the cake.”
This woman “spoke like a true hun,” and her sexual arrangements were guided by the principle of “do no damage” (since a real hun always prioritises her sisters over their boyfriends).
While speaking on This Morning earlier this month, Carol said: ‘I don’t want to settle with anybody. My life is a cake. It’s got fantastic friends, I love my job, I love the business of education, I have people who love me, and this busy home.
‘The sort of male/female relationships are the icing on the cake rather than the fundamental basis of it.
‘I don’t know! Just kind of other people who don’t want one partner – everyone’s single, by the way. That’s a critical part of it.’
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV.
