At Home with Carol Vorderman 2013 - (Page 64)

Friends AMANDA ON CAROL ‘I met Carol seven years ago at the school which both our sons go to. She was all dressed up and looked really beautiful so I asked why she was dolled up. I don’t even own a television, so I wasn’t aware she was a TV personality. She told me 064 | JUNE 2013 forever someone had won a competition to go out for dinner with her and I said, “What was the second prize – going out for two dinners?!” And she laughed like a drain. It broke the ice and we quickly became friends. ‘We are like chalk and cheese – she is brilliant at numbers and I can’t add up, and I’m an author and she’s never read a novel! But we have so much in common – we are both working mums so have a life outside the school gates, and we also share the same values and interests. ‘For the first couple of months we were just getting to know each other, talking on a pretty basic level; but we found that we had a real connection. She always knows exactly what I mean – she just gets it. I don’t have any secrets from her – she knows everything about me and she still loves me! I also know that I can pick up the phone at 3am if I need to and she will come over straightaway. And even though our jobs are very different, in their own ways they are both unusual and isolating and we share that, too. ‘What I like best about Carol is her energy, drive and her sense of humour. Some people revel in other people’s misfortunes, but Carol is the opposite in that she’s so happy when things go well for others and is always positive about their achievements. She really believes in sisterhood and is a real woman’s woman. ‘She does have a habit of putting other people first and not having enough “Carol” time. Nobody works like she does – she’s phenomenal; she WORDS: Georgina Maric | PHOTOGRAPHS: Shutterstock GOOD MATES ARE OFTEN HARD TO COME BY. TOGETHER WITH HER BEST PAL, AMANDA PROWSE, CAROL EXPLAINS WHY THEIR FRIENDSHIP HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME
