Sporting legend's 'dig' at Carol Vorderman's Matt Hancock pictures at the races

Matt Hancock Carol Vorderman Gina AP McCoy Josie Gibson

Carol Vorderman has once again attempted to clarify her position on being seen with former Health Secretary Matt Hancock at the Cheltenham Races. The 62-year-old spoke with Josie Gibson and sports star AP McCoy on ITV’s This Morning on Wednesday, March 15 about the event and which celebs had been spotted there.

“We also saw you with Matt Hancock?” host Josie asked Carol, who replied: “I wasn’t with Matt Hancock. I was out watching Honeysuckle cantering down.”

AP then jumped in and cheekily digged: “Are you trying to defend yourself?” to which the former Countdown star replied: “Yes I am. I was watching Honeysuckle with my mate Jules and I had a tap on the shoulder - ‘Hello, I’m Gina’, ‘Hello, I’m Matt’ - 90 second conversation then I turned round and watched the race. That’s it. There happened to be a photographer there.”
