I'm a Celebrity... South Africa's Carol Vorderman confesses 'naughty' schooldays and swearing at nuns

Welsh TV presenter Carol Vorderman made her name for being a whizz at maths on Channel 4's Countdown, however has revealed she was not the perfect student at school. While on ITV1's I'm A Celebrity... South Africa Carol admitted she never did her homework, swore and sneaked off to nightclubs underage.

Chatting to fellow campmate Myleene Klass, Carol revealed her big confession that she was not well-behaved at school. She said: "Never did my homework. Seriously! Half an hour at the back of the bus. It was all too easy. I was always being told off. I told a nun to f*** off once. She was horrible. I was a naughty girl. I was in nightclubs in Manchester at 15 with the bad boys. Loved it.”

Despite her rebellious nature, Carol's done alright for herself. Aside of a successful career in TV, she also graduated from Cambridge University (with a third) in engineering, is a qualified pilot and has released educational books and has an online maths school, MathsFactor.

Recently on I'm A Celebrity... South Africa Carol was not impressed that her campmates are "not pulling their weight" and teamed up with fellow celebrity Fatima Whitbread to enforce some rules. During the night, Fatima woke Andy up to tend to the fire, as his role on wood drop dictates he should.

Fed up with having to remind people to do their chores, Fatima and Carol decide to take action. Carol says: “I think we need to remind them what their responsibilities are.” She adds: “There are quite a lot of people not pulling their weight.” Fatima says: “They need guidance.”

Carol has also faced a trial, Tanks of Torment, which she choose Fatima to help her with and joked that her bottom was "the most buoyant thing in Britain". She joked: “My bottom always floats to the top… it’s the most buoyant thing in Britain. So getting down underwater is my biggest problem.”

I'm A Celebrity... South Africa continues on ITV1 at 9pm on weekdays. You can keep up to date with the latest TV and showbiz news by signing up to the newsletter here.
