Carol Vorderman's 'great friend' Willie Carson looked as though he was "in heaven" as he got close with the former Countdown at Cheltenham Festival yesterday, March 15. Maths whizz Carol attended Ladies' Day on day two of the races, after causing quite the stir on Tuesday when she was accused of "cosying up" to former Health Secretary Matt Hancock.
After getting home and changing into her pyjamas, Carol cleared the air on Twitter, appearing to make a dig at Hancock by exaggerating the last half of his surname as she explained that he and girlfriend Gina Coladangelo approached her on the terrace of the Royal Box. Carol, who took issue with the MP entering the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! jungle last year, said that she was "civil" to him as she was "brought up to be polite".
As the second day of Cheltenham Festival drew to a close last night, Carol shared some photos from the festivities, wearing a cape-like tweed jacket to protect herself from the damp and chilly day. The 62-year-old, who lives in Clifton, was interviewed by Bristol's very own Josie Gibson for ITV, alongside AP McCoy, and also caught up with "some great old friends".
