Top Gun premiere: Carol Vorderman shows off flying suit as fans say she and Tom Cruise would make 'fabulous couple'

Clifton resident Carol Vorderman might be known for both her beauty and brains, but the Welsh maths whizz is also a huge daredevil who has an affinity for flying. Naturally, pilot Carol, who earned her licence back in 2013, is a huge fan of Top Gun, and is attending the London premiere of the sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, this evening (May 19).

Carol has hardly kept quiet about her invite to the premiere, and has been excitedly posting about the big night in the last week.
