Former Countdown whizz Carol Vorderman has kindly requested that her family and friends steer clear of buying her presents this Christmas. The 61-year-old, who has a property in Clifton, has said that all she really wants this festive season is the 'time and laughter' of her nearest and dearest.
Carol wrote on Twitter: "Simple message going out to all my friends/family for Xmas. Please don't buy me presents, just give me your time.
"You can help me tidy my rubbish, or come for a walk or sort a paddleboard day for us.... anything. Your time and laughter is all I really want."
