Carol Vorderman says her curves are genetic as she reveals nickname for her bum

Carol Vorderman says her curves and famous bottom runs in the family - and they've coined a name for it.

The glamorous 62-year-old has been crowned the winner of Rear of the Year twice, landing the cheeky title in both 2011 and 2014 respectively.

Former Countdown host Carol has always denied having secret surgery to enhance her hourglass figure, and has insisted she's all natural.

Doubling down on her past claims, Carol said she's not sure why her rear gets so much attention as she's been blessed with curves since her early days on TV.

Carol said: "Rear of the Year is a funny one because I've always had this huge butt. Always. All my life!

"My whole family does. It's a thing. It's called the Vorderman bottom, it was always like 'oooh, there's another Vorderman bottom!

"My brother's got one, my nephews, my son, we've all got it!" she joked in a chat with The Daily Star.

After scooping the gong for a second time, she said she was "both surprised and flattered to win the award again", adding: "particularly at this stage of my life."

The star added: "As I said when I won it in 2011, I always suspected there were a lot of people out there who were glad to see the back of me. It now appears there were even more than I thought."

There's no celeb more open than Carol as she revealed the secret to her age-defying looks.

"I brought out my first detox book which was slammed at the time, but almost 100% of everything I recommended is now categoric," she added.

"I have followed my own advice. Now there's an awful lot of technology to do with health and when you concentrate on health you get other benefits too, like people saying 'oooh don't you look good'."

Last week she revealed she has five 'special friends' but said she isn't 'into one night stands.'

She spoke about her love life and explained that she dates multiple men at the same time.

Carol calls the mysterious men, who she briefly talked about before, her 'special friends'.

Appearing on Michelle Visage's latest Rule Breakers, she discussed the 'system' she put in place for the past decade.

"I'm having the best time," she said. "I've spoken about this once. I have a system which I've had for 10 years. They're called 'special friends'.

"I spoke a couple of months ago about having 'special friends' and it was like, again, the world had fallen in for some people but actually what I found was there was an awful lot of women who said 'I'd never thought about it like this'."

Carol was first married in 1985 at age 24 to Christopher Mather, a Royal Navy officer, but the pair split after just 12 months together.

She went on to tie the knot with management consultant Patrick King in 1990 at age 30, with the couple welcoming two children into the world together before going their separate ways in 2000.
