Carol Vorderman admits she has Botox as she hits back at Tory MP critics
Carol Vorderman has admitted to have age-defying treatments on her face to keep her looking young, but insisted it was “part of the job”
The 62-year-old has been in showbusiness for over 40 years, and made her TV debut on the Channel 4 show Countdown back in 1982. Since then, she’s become one of the nation's favourite telly stars, and has impressed fans with her youthful looks, but she recently confessed to undergoing treatments to keep wrinkles at bay.
Carol said she opted to have Botox and other procedures due to being in the spotlight, and insisted she doesn't think of her herself as sexy. “It would be less important if I weren’t on the telly, but it’s part of the job. I have Botox and a lot of treatments to my face and neck. Everyone does,” the mother-of-two said in a new interview

“I’ve had Tory MPs saying to me, ‘You Botoxed, pumped-up…’ They say awful things,” she explained, but said it was a “distraction” from the real issues if she complained about their behaviour. Carol, who has since hosted Loose Women and Have I Got News For You, also opened up about her love life during the chat - revealing how she manages her roster of "special friends".

Carol is a vocal critic of the current Tory government, and recently accused Conservative MP Johnny Mercer’s wife of harassing her on social media, sharing a screenshot of the comments aimed at her from Felicity Cornelius-Mercer. “I've been harassed by Johnny Mercer's wife for months. This is from just one day in April + much more abuse elsewhere. I didn't respond at all. Until he mocked military using foodbanks. She's paid c£45k on MP expenses (+200% pay rise) to do this?” Carol fumed in a tweet.
She’s also suffered a blow to her personal life since championing against the government, as she had a bitter fallout with former friend Michelle Mone over the Covid PPE contract scandal. The ex-Countdown host accused Michelle’s husband of using payments from government contracts during the pandemic to fund a luxury lifestyle, and in a blistering interview on This Morning earlier this year, Carol said she had “dropped her like a stone” when she discovered Michelle’s alleged links to the controversy. She ended the chat by looking directly at the camera and saying: “Sue me, Michelle.”
