Carol Vorderman Live & Outspoken!
Carol Vorderman discusses her unlikely pivot from television’s queen of mental arithmetic to fearless political activist, in conversation with Emma Kennedy.
‘I’m just an old bird with an iPhone who’s been on the telly for over forty years. 63 and post-menopause, I dislike bullies and charlatans, and I don’t give a flying fig for what those people say about me.’
With characteristic outspokenness and irrepressible sense of humour Vorderman shares stories from her unlikely pivot from daytime TV’s queen of mental arithmetic to outspoken political activist.
