Carol Vorderman gushes over 'academic family' as shares rare snap of kids

Carol Vorderman has treated fans to a rare snap of her grown-up kids.

The proud mum gushed over the fact that they are an "academic family" on Instagram. The family were celebrating her son's graduation, which was two years delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

She proudly explained that herself and her two grown-up children all have higher degrees. Carol has a masters, as does her son, Cameron, and her daughter, Katie, has a PhD.

Alongside the image showing the three of them together, Carol wrote: "It only just occurred to me that my little brood and I are an academic family. From left to right; Vorders....Masters degree in Engineering Cambridge, Cameron....Masters Degree in Animation and VFX, Dundee University, Dr Katie King.....Masters (Science) and PH.D. (Nanotechnology)...Cambridge.

"Odd really but we haven't ever thought of ourselves as an academic family, we just love learning.... Ha...so there we are. The Vorder Kings."

She later shared another image of her with Cameron on her Instagram Stories. It showed that she only came up to her son's shoulder as she captioned it: "Yup... my boy is tall."

Fans were quick to compliment the family on both their brains and their beauty. Stu said: "Brilliant gang. Well done to you all."

Jill said: "Looking fabulous everyone and well done Cam. Amazing achievement." Paul said: "A precious and treasured photograph of an amazing family."
