Carol Quotes
"My bottom is so big it's got its own gravitational field."
"There is a school of thought that when you hit 40 you should have a perm and wear skirts two inches below the knee. Bugger that! I'm not offending anyone. What is wrong with being a bit lively?"
"It won't ever be the same without him, but Des has always been a Countdown viewer and had a huge respect for Richard. In that we find great comfort."
"Des and I have known each other for nearly 10 years and we've always got on really well."

Countdown - Carol's Big Break
Countdown is a British game show made by ITV Studios and broadcast on Channel 4. Since 2009 it has been presented by Jeff Stelling and Rachel Riley, with regular lexicographer Susie Dent. It was the first programme aired on Channel 4, and over fifty series have been broadcast since its debut on 2 November 1982. With over 4,000 episodes, it is one of the longest-running game shows in the world. The original French version Des chiffres et des lettres has been running on French television continuously since 1965.
The programme was presented by Richard Whiteley for over twenty years, until his death in June 2005. His position was taken over by Des Lynam, who retired from the show in December 2006 and was replaced by Des O'Connor on 2 January 2007. Both O'Connor and Carol Vorderman, the show's co-host who had been on the programme since it began, left the show in December 2008.
A celebrity guest features in every programme, and provides a brief interlude before the first advertisement break. The two contestants in each episode compete in three disciplines: eleven letters rounds, in which the contestants attempt to make the longest word from nine randomly chosen letters; three numbers rounds, in which the contestants must use arithmetic to make a random target number from six other numbers; and the conundrum, a buzzer round in which the contestants try to be first to solve a nine-letter anagram. During the series heats, the winning contestant returns the next day until he or she loses or has accumulated eight wins. The best contestants are invited back for the series finals, which are decided in knockout format. Contestants of exceptional skill have received national media coverage, and the programme as a whole is widely recognised and parodied within British culture.

Haven't seen much of Carol on television recently, or in the news generally. She's okay though.

I must state that i an really surprised in the way you have been treated by the so called cronies at CH 4, I hope you get you get to challenge the outcome and maybe be get to take legal action, i think you will have to take these measures, to make a stand.
i could understand the situation if you had been on countdown for a short period of time, but you hav't, 26 years, i think you desverve more than that,you should have been gine atleast 30 days notice, the way they have treated you is unjust and unfair.
I sure your bounce back to move on and get to do greater things, i still cannot understand as to why, this has happened?
However will still have to suffer that other programe or if you can can it that BIG BROTHER, what a load of B*****ks, we do nt need it , BB 9 , Its run its course too, they should pull the plug on that too.
Any way all the best, dont lets the so called friends get too you, rise above it , as they say what goes around comes around, i am sure your be a success X X
