On a day usually dedicated to one’s significant other, Vorderman, 62, adopted an alternative approach to the most romantic day in the calendar.
The former Countdown presenter said on Instagram and Twitter: “Happy Valentine’s Day to all of my friends including the ‘special’ ones.
“To every kind person and to the millions of singletons who don’t feel they need one person to ‘complete’ them. Love is love.”
Happy Valentine’s Day

Vorderman has previously said she has multiple romantic partners.
She told Michelle Visage on the American media personality’s podcast Rule Breakers she had a system involving “special friends.”
These friends are people she’s been involved with for years, but “everyone is single.”
Vorderman told Visage in January: “The language around a woman of my generation is that if you had more than one partner when you got married you were this, you were that.
“Everything was derogatory about a woman, that was the environment I was growing up in. It was like ‘she’s desperate,’ everything was judgmental.”
“Well, you can take all that and you can throw it out the window, that’s my polite way of saying it. There’s no harm being done. It’s a happy place to live.
“The only thing I was sold when I was young was a fairytale where a poor girl meets a prince, they get married and they live happily ever after.”
Vorderman had previously spoken about breaking “this nonsense taboo” and said that the idea of someone looking for someone to complete them is “hell”.
She was married to Christopher Mather in 1985 until 1986, then to Patrick King, who she married in 1990 before divorcing in 2000, and with whom she has two children.
The television presenter was also in a relationship with broadcaster Des Kelly from 2001 until 2006.
