Carol Vorderman, 61, chatted candidly on BBC Radio Wales this morning with her friend Owain Wyn Evans, 37, and a show guest about being pregnant. Carol made the candid admission that she “didn’t particularly enjoy being pregnant”, while admitting she didn’t have that “glow”.
Carol has two children from her second marriage to management consultant Patrick King.
