Carol Vorderman, the beloved TV and radio presenter, has recently found herself in a bit of trouble. Her son, Cameron, was not too happy with her after she accidentally spoiled a game show they were both appearing on. Carol rose to fame on the popular game show Countdown, where she teamed up with Richard Whiteley until his passing in 2005. She then went on to work with Des Lynam and Des O'Connor before leaving the show in 2008. The show was known for its word and mathematical challenges, but it seems that Carol may have forgotten how quiz shows work.
The incident occurred on Romesh Ranganathan's new quiz show, Parents' Evening. The premise of the show is for three famous faces to team up with their family members and answer questions about each other. In this particular episode, Carol was paired up with her son, while other celebrities like Alison Hammond and Iain Stirling also brought their family members. One round on the show involved social media, where the teams had to guess how many Facebook relationship statuses they could list.
However, Carol, who doesn't use Facebook, seemed a bit confused. She exclaimed, "Well, I don't do Facebook! I mean, how many relationship statuses can you actually have? You've got married, single..." Unfortunately, she was quickly interrupted by a buzzer and a shout from an audience member. It turns out that shouting out answers is not the point of the game. The host had to deduct £200 from their total and remove the answers from the round. Carol was surprised by this and asked, "Wait, you're deducting money? We won't have any left!" Her son, Cameron, then chimed in, "Yeah, Mum, that's how numbers work." The audience erupted in claps, and Carol challenged her son to answer another five statuses.
Despite their best efforts, Carol and Cameron didn't make it through the round with enough correct answers. Some viewers were left scratching their heads at Carol's mistake, with one person commenting, "Carol isn't the best at listening on this show, is she?" Another person exclaimed, "NOOOOOO. Carol, what are you doing???" However, in the end, it was Alison and her son who came out on top and won the episode.
This incident comes after Carol's announcement that she will be stepping down from her radio show on LBC due to burnout. She explained that she has been working seven days a week for as long as she can remember, and it eventually led her to be hospitalized. While she was relieved to find out that she had no underlying health issues, she took it as a warning sign to slow down. Carol has now cut back her working hours to just weekdays.
Despite the slip-up on the game show, Carol remains a beloved and talented media personality. Fans can catch her on Romesh Ranganathan's Parents' Evening, which airs every Saturday at 9.05pm on ITV1.
