Vorderman was born in Bedford to a Dutch father and Welsh mother. Her parents broke up three weeks after her birth, and her mother took the family back to her home town of Prestatyn, North Wales, where Vorderman and her siblings grew up in a one-parent household. In 1970 their mother married an Italian national.
Early career
Vorderman initially found employment as a graduate management trainee in Leeds, and in her spare time was briefly a backing singer in the Leeds-based pop group Dawn Chorus and the Blue Tits, fronted by radio DJ Liz Kershaw during the early 1980s.
Carol Vorderman has launched an online maths school – themathsfactor.com – to help children and their parents master maths. Looking at the video on the site, the materials seem pretty impressive, and Carol’s enthusiasm is palpable.
