Biography
|
Carol Jean Vorderman, also previously known by her first married name Carol Mather, was born December 24, 1960 to a Dutch father and a Welsh mother. A British television personality, she is best known for her work on the Channel 4 game show Countdown. Vorderman was a new kind of game show hostess, not only looking attractive but revealing her intellectual ability by carrying out fast and accurate mathematical calculations as part of the game.
She grew up in Prestatyn in North Wales and later graduated from Sidney Sussex College at the University of Cambridge with a Bachelor of Arts degree (Third Class honours) after reading Engineering (historically all subjects at Cambridge award BAs). In 1985 she received a Master's Degree from the University of Cambridge, which almost all alumni are awarded 'by right'. She was awarded an MBE in June 2000. After making her name on Countdown, she went on to present numerous other television programmes, to the point where she was regarded as being over-exposed. She has been criticised for not growing older gracefully, and was mocked for wearing a revealing dress at the BAFTAs in 2000.
